If you’re planning a Christmas gift scavenger hunt, you’ll probably want to come up with some clues or riddles to lead your kids (or adults!) to where you’ve hidden their presents.
Here at Scavenger Hunt though, we like to save you time and hassle. We’ve therefore created 10 Christmas gift scavenger hunt clues and riddles for you to use that can be found below.
All of these clues rhyme and are short enough to be able to write on flash cards, post-it notes, inside Christmas cards – or you can use the free printable sheet we’ve provided below. We’d recommend attaching these to the presents, so the first gift has the clue to the second gift, which has the clue to the third gift, etc.
It should be fairly obvious what the answers are, as we’ve designed them so that kids can work them out with little trouble. Just in case though, we’ve mentioned where to hide the gifts in parentheses at the end of each clue.
Also, if you like these ideas, we have another set of 10 printable Christmas clues.
