Indoor Scavenger Hunt Indoor scavenger hunt games are a fun way to enjoy some indoor fun – perfect for a rainy day! 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. Your hints can be popular lines from movies or books, riddles, scrambled words, math problems, etc. Use your creativity and have fun with it!

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.

    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
