Frequently Asked Questions
What age is the spring scavenger hunt suitable for?
It’s designed to work for a wide range of ages. Younger children can simply hunt for colours or nature items, while older kids can be challenged with a time limit or asked to complete the whole list unaided.
Do I need to print the scavenger hunt to use it?
Printing it makes it easiest for kids to tick off items as they go, but you can also view it on a phone or tablet if you’re out and about without a printer handy.
Can we do the scavenger hunt indoors if the weather isn’t great?
Yes — many of the items can be adapted to a garden, park, or even a walk around your local area, so a bit of drizzle doesn’t have to stop the fun.
How long does the scavenger hunt take?
That’s really up to you and the kids. It can be a quick 15-minute outdoor burst or stretched into a longer nature walk, depending on how much time you have.
