Dollar Store Scavenger Hunt Printable

Looking for a fun rainy day activity? Need to get out of the house and let the kids stretch their legs and exercise their brains? Try our Dollar Store Scavenger Hunt! Print the list, pile the kids in the car, and solve the riddles to grab items from the shelves. There are plenty of jobs for everyone – reading the list, carrying the basket, and making sure mom doesn’t get sidetracked at the party supply aisle! Your kids will have to do some critical thinking and everyone will get a few steps in. We included the answers at the bottom of the sheet, so be sure to cut it along the line so only you know what item goes with each clue. Challenge yourself and don’t read the answers. You might find that you have to put your thinking cap on, too!

Don’t worry, you don’t have to buy what’s on the list. Part of the hunt can be remembering where everything goes so it can be put away when you’re finished. And be sure to lay down some ground rules before you start, like no running and to use manners if you cross paths with another shopper. If you feel like giving prizes, let the kids hit up the toy or book aisle when they’ve finished the hunt. Our Dollar Store Scavenger Hunt builds teamwork, family togetherness, and problem-solving, all for a dollar or less!

You might even discover that your local dollar store has some of your frequent buys. This could be a game that leads you to big savings and more money in your bank account. 

If you love scavenger hunts as much as we do, you know you don’t need a special occasion to set one up. But here are more hunts for holidays, back-to-school, and birthdays—plus a few just for any old day.
