Simple Color Scavenger Hunt for Kids

  • Share
  • Tweet

Do you have fun plans this summer to spend time out in nature? Every summer we take a few weekend trips up to a small little town in Wyoming where we are surrounded by forest and nature and no cell service at all (Gasp!)…And it’s wonderful!

The kids easily keep themselves busy using their imagination and all the things nature has to offer, but we still like to bring up a few simple activities for them to do during the day.

This simple color scavenger hunt for kids is unbelievably easy to throw together last minute and the kids have fun with it every single year.

The best part about this simple color scavenger hunt is that it’s so versatile. You can pretty much use it anywhere that you’ll be enjoying outdoors. Make one for a trip to the park, for a weekend camping trip, or even for playing in your own backyard. Using a paper lunch sack is also perfect because kids have a place to store all of their new treasures. Also, you can return the items you found back to nature and play all over again as many times as you’d like.

Directions for this Scavenger Hunt for Kids

3. Pass out the bags to the children and let them have fun finding all of the colors on the bag. When they find an item that matches one of the colors, place it in the bag. When everyone is finished, sit in a circle and have a fun time having a show and tell about all of the items everyone found.

    What a great idea!! My kids are still pretty little (4, almost 3, and 10 months), so maybe I can make a “baby” version for them to play in the backyard. I love that it encourages learning, exploration, exercise, and fun all in one!

    This was amazing! Thank you for posting this Rachel! We started with everyone looking for objects to match the colors but when we all got back we also had exciting stories about where we found our little treasures. Learning while having a great time!

    Rachel- Thanks for posting this. I will use this idea to have my kinders do a search in the classroom. Then we will dump out the bag, sort everything and put all the little things away. I think I can send the bag home and see what they bring me from home. This might be a great way to fill up my alphabet tins ( I need objects for all the letters) !
    So inspiring.

    I love this idea…I need to adapt it to my high school graphic design class…I’m thinking give them the colors and then they have to find things in nature and take a digital photograph using the “rules” of photography. Hmmmmmm….sounds like a homework assignment to me 🙂
