Fun Halloween Scavenger Hunt Set-Up

*Make sure to set this scavenger hunt up ahead of time by putting the clues in the correct place. You can put the first clue in a book you are planning to read, at the child’s spot at the kitchen table, or simply bring it out. See the below list for where to put the clues after this:

1. Where you keep tennis shoes

2. Under the sheets in bed

3. Where you keep winter hats or baseball hats

4. Behind a door or choice

5. By a computer speaker, tv speaker, etc…

6. Where you keep blocks

7. By the toothbrushes or hairbrushes

8. By the crayons, markers, paper, and art supplies

9. Inside the dryer or a laundry bin. You can tape this one to the prize and put a prize here.

Some ideas for a fun surprise at the end of the hunt include Halloween candy, Halloween themed books, popper toys, Halloween Coloring pages (great for a low budget scavenger hunt!), stickers, spider rings, witch finger pointers (great for practicing 1-1 correspondence for reading as well). or other miscellaneous Halloween themed trinkets.
