Birthday Scavenger Hunt

Sharing is caring!

A birthday scavenger hunt is a fun addition to any birthday party. It works just as well with a small family birthday gathering as it does with a large birthday party.

A birthday scavenger hunt can be fun for child’s party or for those who are a child at heart.

It can also be a great activity for children attending a grown up birthday party. It can keep them entertained and out of trouble.

Expert Tips for Printables

How do I access the free printable birthday scavenger hunt?

Fill in the form above. When you submit the form, you will promptly be sent an email from Organized 31 containing the printable pdf. If you can’t find the welcome email after 3-4 minutes, check your spam folder. If you have any difficulty, you can email me and I’ll help you resolved any problems.

How do I print the pdf file?

The pdf usually opens right up when you click on the pdf in the email. When that happens, simply right click on the pdf and either print or save the document to your device.

If the pdf does not pop up for you, you’ll most likely find it in your computer’s Downloads folder. You can also select “Downloads” in your browser menu to see a list of your downloads, then select “Show in folder” below the file name to see where it is located on your computer.

I’m worried about wasting printer ink – what can I do?

Most printers offer you the option to print in greyscale which is in black and white.

You can also look for the option to print in draft or economy mode. This usually means that the sheet is printed out with less ink. It still looks great and is a good way to print in color but use less ink.

How can I use the printable (what restrictions are there on use)?

You can print these pdf files as many times as you’d like for your personal or classroom use. Please do not share the file with family, friends or coworkers. Please do share the link to this post so they can access their own copy of the printable. All printables are copyrighted.

• Print immediately.
• Or save the pdf to your computer and print later at your convenience.
• Print the birthday scavenger hunt on your home printer.

• Or you can choose to print the template at your local office store or printer.
• You can print the game boards on regular computer paper or, as I prefer, print them on heavier card stock paper. Using heavier paper allows the game boards to hold up better to enthusiastic and energetic scavenger hunt games.
• You may choose to laminate the completed scavenger hunt game boards once you create them. This allows you to use the same game boards over again and again.
