Are you ready to try something NEW?  Print this NEW YEAR SCAVENGER HUNT!

Kids are encouraged to actually go and TRY SOMETHING NEW then write it down!  

How often we get stuck in the same rut and every day looks the same?!  Around here our grocery list even looks the same each week.  I am getting into a new habit of suggesting my boys be open to trying new things. (this helps greatly when you visit a friend’s/family’s house and they are cooking something mom has not prepared before).

NEW YEAR SCAVENGER HUNT

Are you ready to try a new cereal? New book? New chore? Why not ~ it’s a NEW YEAR!  Everyone can do this New Year Scavenger Hunt together!

Print this NEW YEAR SCAVENGER HUNT and have fun!

Print three four new Christmas Scavenger Hunts!

It was a lot of fun last summer providing different scavenger hunts for all types of school kids. And I’m looking forward to sharing three new ones with you today!

Christmas Scavenger Hunts:

Christmas Cards, Christmas Photos, and Christmas Characters in Fiction and now Christmas Songs!

Christmas Songs Hunt

Kick off your homeschool day with some great Christmas songs!  Then listen carefully to find these special words in the Christmas Songs Scavenger Hunt! (this is also a great “car” game)

Christmas Cards Scavenger Hunt

I don’t know about you but I wanted to jazz up our collection this year and make them a bit more fun. Enjoy getting Christmas cards by hunting for a few clues on this Christmas Cards Scavenger Hunt!

Christmas Photos Scavenger Hunt


Not to be mistaken with cards, these are the photos of your Christmas pasts! Check through some old photo albums (maybe you as a kid) and enjoy reliving Christmas past with this Christmas Photos Scavenger Hunt!

Christmas Characters Scavenger Hunt

We all have a favorite Christmas movie or book. (It’s Elf by the way).  Now is your chance to hunt for a few other characters we know and love! Maybe read that book tonight or watch that movie again! Christmas Characters Scavenger Hunt!

These three Christmas Scavenger Hunts are for all children (homeschool, public, private, etc.) and for you to enjoy some laughs!

I believe dress up and roll playing are fantastic ways to encourage children to get creative.

This past year I purchased a few Learning Resources Kits – our favorite being the Pretend & Play Dr. Kit right when we started watching Doc McStuffins.
The boy had a lot of fun tending to his stuffed animals and us whenever he thought we were sick.  His favorite was to give us shots.

While we’ll be dressing up for a fancy dinner and roll playing correct table manners this week …
