Water Scavenger Hunt

Does your family like to take trips to the ocean? There’s so much to see and discover on the beach. Living creatures are everywhere! Look in the water and you’ll find minnows and maybe a jellyfish. Look up and you’ll spot seagulls. Head to a tide pool and who knows what you’ll find! The scenery may be so different from what you’re used to. A close examination of a handful of sand might reveal something you’ve never seen before—like a tiny crab or a unique shell.

If you live closer to a lake than the ocean, you’re going to have a completely different experience. There might be sand, but you’ll probably have more luck spotting a rocky fossil than you would turning over a sand dollar with your toes. The lake will probably have boaters or fishermen and you might spot a heron fishing for his lunch. But just like the ocean, the lake is a great place to visit, especially with kids!

Whether it’s the ocean or the lake, there’s so much for your kids to discover. For some extra fun on your outing, print out and bring along our Water Scavenger Hunt and see what you and the kids can find. There’s a scavenger hunt specifically for the ocean and another for the lake. If your kids are bigger, they could set off with their scavenger hunt sheets while you keep an eye on them from a beach blanket or picnic table. But if they’re little, you’ll probably want to join them. It’s always a good reminder to be careful around bodies of water, especially if your little ones are still learning how to swim.

Chances are your kids will find more than what’s on the scavenger hunt! And if you’re lucky, they’ll have stories to tell of their adventures with the Water Scavenger Hunt when they’re done!
