We’re grateful for fresh air, exercise and little walks around the neighborhood to help keep us active these days. At a time when we can’t go adventuring all over town, a simple stroll is great way to keep boredom at bay. To help put a little pep in the kids’ step when taking another daily loop around the block, we’ve come up with Neighborhood Scavenger Hunts.

Below you’ll find 3 printable Neighborhood Scavenger Hunts (that can be used anywhere) that you can take with you and let the kids have some fun checking off items on the list. Just click each link below and print. The kids can color them, draw the things they see on their walk, make observations on the back of the page. Or you can even simply write in extra things that pertain to your specific neighborhood.
