Memorial Day Scavenger Hunt for Kids

Monday, May 9, 2016 by Lolli 3 Comments

hi guys!

I’m shocked (but terribly excited!) that Memorial Day is right around the corner! Enjoy this Memorial Day scavenger hunt printable on me as we celebrate the official start of summer time together!

Who else is excited that it’s finally warming up? Tis the season for letting the kids run around outside, opening the windows, and getting ready for summer break. I’m excited about this new scavenger hunt printable…and I hope that your kids will love doing it! Be sure to check out my previous seasonal scavenger hunts HERE and keep your eyes open for more coming soon!

How to use this Patriotic Memorial Day Scavenger Hunt Printable

Get ready to search for all things related to Memorial Day, the beginning of summer, and all things patriotic! The best thing about this scavenger hunt is that it can be played many different ways – use the printable list as a guide and make the game your own. Simply print off as many sheets as you need, and then go have some fun!

Memorial Day scavenger hunt feature

  • Single-player game: race against the clock! See how many of the items on the list you can find in 5, 10, or 15 minutes. Look in the house for as many items as possible, or find things that aren’t at home in a magazine or book.
  • Group scavenger hunt: If you have enough players, divide into 2 teams. Each team works together to find the items on the list. Reconvene at a specific time to compare what each team was able to find.
  • Get creative! Some items are easier than others to “collect” as participants search for things on the list. Let the kids think of alternative methods of “collection” such as taking a picture, drawing a picture, or having an adult initial next to an item on the list. See ideas for gathering clues below.
  • Broaden your search area. With parental permission/supervision, teams can ask neighbors for help gathering scavenger hunt items. Maybe you don’t have a cupid at home, but a neighbor does. Make sure that kids know to only go to houses where they know the people that live there, and always bring a buddy along.

Methods of gathering “clues:”

  • Each person or group has a small bag and collects as many items inside the bag as the can in a set amount of time. At the end, everyone shows off the item they’ve collected.
  • Each person or group has a digital camera (phones, ipod, etc) and snaps a picture of each item they find.
  • Simply check off each item on the scavenger hunt paper as it is found or have another person act as a “witness” and initial the paper to verify that an item was found.
  • Use your imagination! Let the players decide the rules!
