Keep those eyeballs peeled for all things festive in this Halloween Scavenger Hunt. Find all 12 items while out and about, or use the hiding cards to do it in your own home.
I am a horrible decorator.
Whether it be for the day-to-day home living, or for a holiday, I have very little patience in myself to buy, style, set up, and then store any types of decor.
Even though I don’t have the patience for decorating, I do appreciate the adorable displays, time, and thought that go into other people’s enjoyment of it. Especially around Halloween time when it seems like the creativity abounds.
While I prefer the non-spooky decor of the season, because explaining what zombies, skeletons, and ghosts are to a five year old is what their little nightmares are made of, I still like seeing what people prefer to display.
In this Halloween Scavenger Hunt, you can take a festive walk around your neighborhood to spot the items, or you can use the 12 hiding cards to complete the scavenger hunt in your own home or yard. However you make it work for you, your little one will have a blast hunting, discussing, and creating new connections and vocabulary around Halloween.

How To Play
My neighborhood has lots of houses that decorate for Halloween, so taking this scavenger hunt on a walk could work for us. Finding the time to do that amid all the kid activities and work schedules is another issue.
This Halloween Scavenger Hunt comes with hiding cards that you can place around your home or yard for your little seeker to find. You can also choose to take it out on a walk, or drive, through the neighborhood.
Whichever way you opt to complete it, you are helping your child build vocabulary, matching skills, and conversation.
