Once you have your sheets printed out, you’re ready to play Christmas Scavenger hunt. The goal? Find each item on the list and tick it off.
What’s even more exciting is that we’ve included two different sheets. Yes, that means your kids can pair up and race to see who completes their sheet first!
You can print one sheet per child, or work in teams with a small group working on each sheet.

Christmas Scavenger Hunt Items
Our free printables include a tonne of festive Christmas items to find that will have everyone from toddlers to grandparents singing along to their favorite Christmas song as they search.
For a fun Christmas activity that doesn’t rely on the weather, our indoor Christmas scavenger hunt is the answer, turning your home into a playground of holiday delights.
To find the items: These are common christmas items, so when searching your house or environment around Christmas time it’s likely you will be able to find all of these if you search really carefully including on Christmas decorations, on the pictures on Christmas cards around your house etc. If you are worried the kids won’t be able to find them all in the environment then as an alternative way to play – print off an extra copy of each sheet, cut out the items and stick the pictures around the house.
