Are you ready to go on an adventure just outside your door? Try getting the kiddos outside and exploring with this card game that is sure to keep them entertained and show them the wonders of nature.

When the weather is nice but you aren’t sure what to do with the kiddos, try this fun outdoor scavenger hunt with little prep and lots of ways to play!

Directions

1. Print these cards
2. Cut out and laminate
3. Get outside and explore!

Print these cards and use laminator sheets to play with them in rain or shine. Before you head out show them the cards and ask if they need any help recognizing the clues. If there are any cards they don’t understand explain what they are looking for.

To make it accessible for the younger kids you can easily go by color of the card and for older kids you can ask them to count how many of each they can find!
