Halloween Scavenger Hunt {Free Printables}

This fun (& free!) Halloween scavenger hunt is the perfect Halloween activity for kids!

It’s a bit spooky, easy to play, and totally fun. This may just be your kids’ new favorite Halloween tradition!

There are 9 outrageous clues that lead to a Halloween treat. The great thing about this is you get to make the treat whatever you want!

Do you feel like your kids get too much candy in October? Yeah, me too.

So instead of candy, you can make the “treat” a pack of gum (my kiddos’ favorite), trail mix, dried fruit, bubbles, stickers…anything you want!

And I gotta say, my mom is super good at coming up with great clues. She helped me with the St. Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt, and this Halloween scavenger hunt is just as fun! We thought we were so clever coming up with clues like:

Now you need to think.

Where do you get a drink?

Go to the sink, & see if it stinks.

Or…

Beware! Beware!

Run to the chair & look under there.

I promise you won’t get a scare.

Our family did this scavenger hunt this past Sunday afternoon and my kids are already asking to play it again.

It’s the thrill of the hunt! We have a rule that our girls have to take turns finding and reading the clues. Otherwise, it’s just pushing, shoving, and pure chaos. But feel free to play this game in the way that works best for you and your family. It’s really just about creating fun memories and traditions.

Just print out these clues. In case it’s not exactly clear where to put the clues from the clue cards, there are instructions.

And if you don’t like where a clue lands, just change it! Seriously. If you don’t want to take them to a lamp, cross out a few words and send them to the bathroom, or to the garage. Just make it fun for your kids, and send them wherever it works for you. I don’t mind.
