A Dr. Seuss books scavenger hunt makes reading and learning to read more of a game. If you’d made me choose my favorite, Dr. Seuss books or a scavenger hunt, I’m not sure which I would chose. This entertaining Dr. Seuss activity combines two of my favorite childhood activities – Dr. Seuss and a game.

I vividly remember the excitement when I was 4 years old of having new Dr. Seuss books arrive at our home every month or so as part of a book club my mom signed us up for. I adored each and every one of those books. I know that they contributed to my lifelong love of reading.

I also vividly remember reading both Dr. Seuss board books and hard cover books to my children. I fondly remember my youngest daughter reading The Lorax to my son each night for weeks. I also know that our family’s love of Dr. Seuss books figured significantly in developing the love of reading that has continued into adulthood in all three of my children.

What age are Dr. Seuss books for?

Dr. Seuss books are for children ages 1 – 12, depending on your purpose for reading and which books you select.

Young children enjoy the wacky rhyming of Dr. Seuss books and love the child-friendly characters. Reading the simpler Dr. Seuss books to young children help them learn to recognize rhyming patterns and even sight words. Both are critical pre and early reading skills.

Children, aged 6 – 9, who are reading independently will enjoy the security of reading Dr. Seuss books with the familiar rhythm and silly rhymes.

Older children will enjoy the zany characters and rhymes of the longer Dr. Seuss books.

Expert Tips for Printables

How do I access the free scavenger hunt?

Fill in the form above. When you submit the form, you will immediately be sent an email from Organized 31 with a link to the VIP Resources Library, including detailed instructions on how to access your printable. 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 link in the VIP Resources Library. 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.
