Indoor scavenger hunt games are a fun way to enjoy some indoor fun. Here are a few ideas for creating your own games along with links to some free printable games!
You don’t need much to plan your own indoor scavenger hunt games. Just think of some fabulous hiding spots and then leave hints so the kids can find the next clue.
You’ll start the player(s) off with the first clue that includes a hint as to where the second clue will be. The players will find their next clue in this hidden place. The game continues until they find the prize at the last clue location.
Some fun ideas for hiding places for indoor scavenger hunt clues are:
- stuck to stuffed animals
- inside movie cases
- inside books
- pockets of clothing
- inside a shoe
- inside or on the bottom of a toy
- behind picture frames
- in a cookie jar
- written on a mirror
- hanging from a light fixture
- inside the fridge

I know a good one – hide red apples and and put a ribbon on one of them – kids have to find “the poison apple” before snow white does
