How to Make the Free Beach Scavenger Hunt
1. Download and print the digital file – You can find the free printable below. Just head to the bottom of the post and click the large blue button to get your copy.

2. Print off a copy of the checklist for each of your children – You can also laminate the checklists if you prefer. This will make them more sturdy and reusable. Which means that you can save this activity and do it again the next time you go to the beach.

3. Cut the pictures into individual tile – you only need to do this step if you are doing this activity away from the beach.
How to Play
There are two different ways you can use this beach scavenger hunt. The first is when you are actually at the beach. The second is when you are at home or in the classroom.
1. At the Beach
Playing is simple, all you need to do is:
- Take a walk up and down the beach
- If you see anything that matches your list of items, check it off.

If you don’t see something on your list, then it’s time to get creative. Can’t find a sandcastle? Well then it’s a great time to start building your own.
2. At Home or in the Classroom
1. Hide the individual clue cards around the house – You can make them as easy or difficult to find as you like. It all depends on how old your kids are and how talented they are at finding clue cards.

2. Tick off each clue found – once you’ve found a clue, tick it off the checklist.
