Find It Christmas Scavenger Hunt Relay

This Christmas Scavenger Hunt Relay game is based upon finding Holiday items in a room or rooms, on a tree or in a yard. It is like I Spy but with real items, print out images or pictures.

Find It Christmas Scavenger Hunt Relay – Game Prep
1. First decide on what Christmas items you will want the kids to find.
Christmas ornaments, specific decorations, stuffed animals, themed elves, holiday pictures, etc… It is always nice to use a themed approach so kid’s have a general idea of what they are looking for. Smaller items tend to work best for this game and it helps to over decorate the area so their are lots of items to see.

2. Next, take a picture of specific Christmas decorations so you can print out cards so the player know what they are searching for.

If using ornaments set up one or two small trees for the game and use non-breakable ornaments so nothing gets damaged.

3. Then determine the playing area, one room or several rooms, a specific outdoor area, etc… We recommend using one room or area as it keeps the kids all together and reduces the kids falling down or knocking something over.

4. Last place the items that are on the cards around the room or game area. Tip consider a room that is not the main party room for the game, this way you can set up the game and nothing will get moved around. Note: Items should not be hidden in boxes or cabinets but visible from the room.

Game Cards: Print out the photos on the computer and then attach to the back of card stock or old Christmas cards. Then separate them into two piles and make sure that each team has the same level of difficulty.
