This backyard scavenger hunt is a summer must! It’s an easy, screen-free activity that keeps kids busy, curious, and having a whole lot of fun.

Keeping the kids entertained can be a full time job and mine would be on computer ALL day if I didn’t stay on top of them. Luckily my youngest is pretty easy to distract with activities like toilet paper crafts or Disney princess coloring pages.

While she has fun with indoor activities, she’s also my outdoorsy child and loves to play outside when the Florida sun isn’t beating down too hard. That’s why I knew she’d love this backyard scavenger hunt. In fact, I was hoping that even my 12 year old would have some fun with it too!

It was a huge success! Even my oldest had a great time trying to find everything on the list. Some were harder to find than others (a spider web) while others were super easy. I mean, we just had to open our garage to find a bike!
If you’re looking for new outdoor games for the kids, you’ll have to try this. I promise your kids will have so much fun with it! I may even make a longer one with more things to look for next time. Even I had fun playing along!
