Halloween is all about family and treats, right? But Mom always has a trick up her sleeve to take the fun up a notch. iMOM’s Halloween Scavenger Hunt is a not-so-spooky but perfect addition to your trick-or-treat tradition.
There are a lot of ways to use our Halloween Scavenger Hunt. Send the kids hunting around the house as you wait for the pizza to come out of the oven. Use it to entertain the little ones who are along for a ride in the wagon while big ones ring doorbells. Make it a competition among parents as you wait for the kids to run from house to house. You could even give it to big kids who are too cool to dress up and go door-to-door. Have them split into teams, walk around the neighborhood, and take photos (safety first). The team with the most finds by “time’s up” wins! The only tough part is the scavenger hunt prize. More candy, perhaps?
Our Halloween Scavenger Hunt is also a good way to get more use out of that costume you spent so much time putting together. Your tiny princess, swashbuckling pirate, and sneaky ninja can get a second round of wear out of their cute outfit when you take them out around the neighborhood to hunt for the items on the list. If you make them walk, they might just be so tuckered out that they’ll end up sleeping in the costume too!
The most important part of any scavenger hunt is teamwork and the big celebration at the end. So make sure your kids work together to find the items on the list and then give high fives (or Take Five candy bars) when they reach the goal.
If you love scavenger hunts as much as we do, here are more. There’s one for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so we see more hunting in your kiddo’s future!
