Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt
Are you looking for a fun and unique way to spend time with your family this Thanksgiving? Something that gets everyone laughing, bonding, and exploring? Look no further! A Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt is the perfect solution. The idea of this scavenger hunt is simple: you’ll be in your car, driving around to find specific Thanksgiving-themed items. But instead of picking things up, you’ll be taking pictures of them! The team that finds the most items on the list within a certain time frame wins.
Gather your loved ones, hop in the car, and embark on an exciting photo-taking adventure around town. This activity is sure to keep both kids and adults entertained—and best of all, it’s a great way to create lasting memories without ever leaving the car.
Rules of the Game
- Divide into teams- Whether it’s families vs. families, adults vs. kids, or carloads competing against each other, divide your group into teams.
- Set a time limit- Determine how long the scavenger hunt will last. A good time frame is around 1 to 2 hours.
- Create a list of items to find- Each team receives the same list of items to search for and photograph. The list can include things like a pumpkin pie, a scarecrow, or a fall wreath (see list below)
- Stay in the car- All participants must remain inside the vehicle—only taking photos through the windows or quick stops at safe locations.
- Take clear photos- The winning team must have clear, identifiable photos of each item they found.
- Meet back at a designated location- After the time limit expires, everyone reconvenes to tally up the photos and declare a winner.
Tips for a Smooth Scavenger Hunt
- Safety First- Ensure drivers are focused on the road while passengers scout for items and take photos.
- Use a Map- Stick to a pre-planned route to save time.
- Decorate Your Car- Add a festive touch to each team’s car to get into the Thanksgiving spirit!
Winner’s Circle
Once the time is up, everyone meets back at a designated spot (like a park or someone’s home) to tally points. Celebrate the winning team with small prizes like Thanksgiving-themed goodies or bragging rights until Christmas! Enjoy the laughter, teamwork, and sights of the season with this Thanksgiving scavenger hunt. It’s the perfect mix of competition and festive fun!
