Whether you're heading to the park after a long cold winter or you're headed out for a fun summer playdate, this printable scavenger hunt is such a fun activity to do with your little ones.

Encourage preschoolers to be on the lookout as you head to the playground or park. Have them search for the items on this printable and mark them off as they find each one.

Playground Scavenger Hunt

If you're wondering how to set up a scavenger hunt for kids, you've come to the right place. It's so easy! For this playground scavenger hunt, you'll just print and go.

Laminate the page and grab a dry erase marker for your kids to check off the items they find.

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.

For this particular scavenger hunt, kids will search for things like a sandbox, a merry-go-round, a swing set, a slide, and more.

BOOKS ABOUT THE PLAYGROUND

Fill your book basket with a great collection of books about the playground. Most of these books can be found at your local library or used bookstore.
