Celebrate Earth Day with this free printable scavenger hunt for kids. A fun and easy activity to help children explore nature and learn about the planet.
Earth Day is a great opportunity to talk about nature and how we can help the planet. I like to keep things fun and easy, so I made a free Earth Day scavenger hunt that you can print and take outside.
This scavenger hunt helps kids notice the world around them. They’ll look for things like flowers, recycling symbol, and trees.
You can use this scavenger hunt as part of your Earth Day lesson. Before going outside, take a few minutes to talk about Earth Day. Ask simple questions like:
“What is Earth Day?”
“Why is it important to take care of the Earth?”
“How can we help the planet?”
Then head outside and start the hunt. As kids find each item, you can keep the conversation going. Ask things like, “Why are trees important?” or “What can we do to protect the bees?”
This scavenger hunt is fun to do at home, at school, or even at the park. You can also bring a bag and pick up trash while you walk. That’s a great way to show kids how to take action and care for the Earth.
I hope you and your kids enjoy this activity. It’s simple, fun, and a great way to celebrate Earth Day together.
