Scavenger Hunt 101: The Basics
Here are the basics of how a scavenger hunt works.
Each clue will lead the child to a hiding place that holds the next clue.
The last clue will lead to an announcement that reveals the prize.
The best way to keep things straight is just jot down the clues in the order you want to deliver them.
If you use my scavenger hunt and clues, you might do them in this order.
(Tip: it’s fun to spread out the clues so they have to run back and forth all over the house.)
| 1 | Nemo | Sink |
| 2 | Mary Poppins | Sugar |
| 3 | Sleeping Beauty | Bed |
| 4 | Cinderella | Slipper/Shoe |
| 5 | Aladdin/Jasmine | Carpet/Rug |
| 6 | Belle | Book |
| 7 | Little Mermaid | Tub |
| 8 | Snow White | Apple |
| 9 | Rapunzel | Brush |
| 10 | Frozen | Freezer |
| 11 | Lightning McQueen | The Car |
Give them Clue #1 (Nemo) and that will send them to the sink, where they will find Clue #2 (Mary Poppins).
It goes on like this until the final clue, #11 Lightning McQueen, leads them to the car, where you will have the big reveal waiting for them.
The Big Reveal
At the end of the scavenger hunt, you’ll use one of our included printable announcements.
If you want to add something tangible at the end of the scavenger hunt, here are a few ideas:
Same Day Surprise?
Want to pack the car and surprise the kids the same day?
I intentionally make the last clue of my Disney vacation scavenger hunt end in your car.
This gives you the option of surprising your kids way in advance of your trip OR creating a same-day surprise.
How to Create a Same Day Surprise
Load your ready-to-go bags in your car when kids aren't watching.
When it's time to head out, start this Disney vacation scavenger hunt.
The kids will find the big surprise announcement in the car and you can say "Ready to go? Let's go RIGHT NOW!"
