ABC Nature Scavenger Hunt
Scavenger hunts are fun for kids of all ages. They love hunting for various objects and crossing them off a list as they do.
When I take kids on an outdoor scavenger hunt, I prefer to clip the pages to a clipboard which makes it easier to cross off the items they find.
You can have each child search individually, or you can print one for the family to complete together.
This particular scavenger hunt is perfect for pairing older and younger siblings as the scavenger hunt finds will need to be written on the lines.
Unlike the other printable scavenger hunts that I’ve shared on the blog thus far, this one does not have picture or word clues.
This printable features the letters of the alphabet. As you and your kids are out and about, have your children be on the look out for objects that begin with each letter.
You can take this scavenger hunt page on your neighborhood walks, homeschool field trips, or even on your summer vacations.
Make a note of the start and finish dates to record how long it takes your family to find objects for all of the letters.
