Whether you’re heading to the park or taking a stroll in your own backyard, our free printable nature scavenger hunt is the perfect way to turn an ordinary walk into an adventure!

This easy-to-use scavenger hunt encourages children to engage with the environment by looking for different items like trees, rocks, ants, flowers, and more. As they find each item, they can check it off the list. It’s a fun way to develop observation skills and connect with nature!

What’s Included in Your Free Printable Pack:

Nature Scavenger Hunt Sheet: This sheet lists common outdoor items such as trees, rocks, bugs, and birds. Kids can check off each item as they find it on their nature walk. It’s simple enough for young toddlers but fun for older kids too!

Two Nature Bingo Sheets: For an extra challenge, we’ve included two free bingo sheets! Each sheet is filled with different nature-related items to spot. Kids can mark off squares as they discover each item, aiming to complete a row or column for bingo.

How to Use the Nature Scavenger Hunt:

1. Download & Print: Print out the scavenger hunt sheet and bingo cards from home.

2. Grab Your Supplies: You’ll just need your printouts and something to check off the boxes (a pen, crayon, or pencil will do).

3. Start Exploring: As you walk, have your child look for each item on the list. When they spot something like a flower, tree, rock, or insect, they can check it off.

4. Play Bingo: For added fun, challenge your kids to a game of nature bingo! Each sheet has different items, so kids can compete to see who gets bingo first!

TIP: TO MAKE THESE SHEETS REUSABLE, PUT THEM INTO A BINDER PROTECTIVE SHEET OR A ZIPLOC BAG! THEN USE A DRY ERASE MARKER AND SIMPLY WIPE WHEN DONE.
