Preparation

Location

Idea
Give your kids a copy of the food scavenger hunt list. Give them the challenge of finding all of the items as you go around the store.
If you’re planning on buying the items anyway, give them a small shopping cart or basket to put the items in. Otherwise, just check the items off the list as they find them.
List
Here’s the list of 24 items for your kids to hunt down, split into four sections with six items in each. Most of the food items are healthy, so this can be used to help associate things like fruit and vegetables with fun activities!
Beneath the list of items is a free printable copy of the scavenger hunt list that you can download and use as many times as you like.
