Embrace the coming fall and get outside, or play indoors, with this Fall Scavenger Hunt. Complete with indoor hiding cards option!
I am totally a long live summer kind of person.
However, I do enjoy noticing all the little changes that happen in our environment as autumn enters. The changing leaves, the cooler air, the shadows over our vegetable garden, the frantic squirrels.
These changes are all signs of the new season and the kids delight in observing them. The world is enormous when you’re a child and things like more spider webs, fallen acorns, and learning how to use a rake are all part of making new connections and having new experiences for them.
Highlighting these changes is all part of making childhood a little bit magical. In this Fall Scavenger Hunt free printable, you can easily help your child to see, discuss, and build vocabulary around this new season.

How To Play
This Fall Scavenger Hunt works in two ways. Simply chose the one that fits your schedule and environment best.
Your first option is to take your scavenger hunt page outside and check off each item you find as you go on a walk or just observe your backyard and neighborhood.
The second option is to place the hiding cards around your home or yard and have your child them off as he finds each one.
However you chose to play, you are not only providing a fun game that includes matching and movement, but you get to provide new vocabulary, conversation, and memory making/sharing surrounding fall.
