Beach Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger hunts are a fun way to keep your kids entertained and they’re ones that I’ve used loads with my own kids too.

This beach scavenger hunt is perfect if you fancy a break from building sandcastles or hunting for sea glass and compared to a bucket and spade it won’t take up much room in your beach bag either.

You can use this printable all year round but obviously summer is the perfect time of year as lots of us will be taking trips to see the ocean and have fun playing in the sand.

My kids have just been on a school trip to the beach too and this would be a fun activity to take along with a group of kids like this as well.

Older kids will be able to read the list of items to find while younger kids such as toddlers and preschoolers will still be able to join in the fun as the recognise the different pictures and of course everyone can join in with the coloring!

What Is A Scavenger Hunt?

Put simply, a scavenger hunt is a list of items that you need to find. You can do this as a group or as individuals.

Generally, if I’m doing a scavenger hunt with my own kids then I’ll print them a copy of it each so that they can both color in the items that they find but they’ll normally work together to find things.

Do what works best for you and your family though, it would be a fun beach game to work in teams to try and find all the items too. You could even have a prize afterwards – ice cream??

What You’ll Need:

• Beach scavenger hunt PDF
• Paper
• Coloring pencils, markers or crayons
• A printer
• Optional: you may also want to take a clipboard to lean on

Do I Need To Find Everything On The List?

No, just see how many you can find! Obviously it’s really hard to tell what you will see at the beach on any given day and I know that while I can influence if we see any suncream or ice cream on a day out I can’t control if there will be any crabs at the beach and neither can you, nature doesn’t turn up on demand.

If you are doing this in teams then you could see who can find the most items or you can just use it as a way to encourage your kids to be a bit more mindful about noticing the things around them.
