Kindergarten and Preschool Treasure Hunt Printables

Each print & go activity includes opportunities for students to search for a list of items, pictures, or words. Then, they will exercise fine motor muscles by writing/drawing what they find. In addition, they will have opportunities to enhance oral language with conversations around the theme of the hunt.

You could even give them camera access to encourage a photo scavenger hunt by snapping pics of all those found items.

Never Worry About Ink Costs Again

Do you always worry about how much it costs to print and activity?

Do you find yourself not choosing activities in color because they cost too much to print?

Then, HP Instant Ink is for you!!

We love using HP Instant Ink for so many reasons… but here are a few:

I Spy and Scavenger Hunt Sets

Children learn by exploring the world around them. This list of scavenger hunts helps teachers encourage observation and exploration of a variety of themes and subjects all year long. Every hunt has room for differentiation, so you can adjust for older kids or special needs.

Important skills learned while searching items and solving clues will readily transfer to other academic areas, like reading and math! I know I’ve even enjoyed an adult scavenger hunt before!

Teach your students how to play a scavenger hunt early in the year! Then you can plan one for every theme! And don’t be surprised when they start planning one for their birthday party!
