To start the game, just read off the very first card.

From there, the kids can find each clue that follows by reading the directions.

Of course, if your kids are very young, you might want to give them a hand.

If you feel the hunt is a little too long for your little ones, just shorten it by removing some of the cards in the middle and saving them for another day.

Once they find the YAY! card, they’re done! Then they can get a fun prize. Goodie bag prizes are great for this, by the way.

How to Have an Indoor Family Scavenger Hunt

You’ve got the cards all printed, but how do you actually have the scavenger hunt with the kids?

Simple Family Night Indoor Scavenger Hunt for Kids

A good time to set it up is at night when the kids are asleep.

If they see you sticking these cards around, they’ll be tempted to get a head start before you’re ready.

Playing a Family Night Scavenger Hunt Game

Trust me. It’s exactly what my kids did.

You can use masking tape to stick the cards in the right place, if you like. Or you can simply lean them up against a wall or an object in the same area.

DIY Family Night Scavenger Hunt Game

If you want the kids to try this on their own, read each clue with them and then see what area of the house they try to search in.

Easy Family Night Indoor Scavenger Hunt Game

Be sure to keep it accessible for each child’s age.

If your children are small, you might want to avoid areas with sharp objects, like the silverware drawer.

How to Have A Family Night Scavenger Hunt

My kids are a bit older, so they’re fine to open the drawer on their own.

If they were younger, though, I think I would take out a wooden or plastic utensil and just place the card near that instead.

How you set this up is really up to you.

As long as you and your kids are able to play the game together and keep it fun and safe, it’s a win!

Fun Family Games for Under 20 Bucks

August 26, 2016 by Selena Robinson 7 Comments

When I was a kid, my parents loved board games. We had a lot of them. Sometimes when I was bored, I’d get one out and play against myself. (Please say I’m not the only one who did that…)

Naturally, I have a ton of board games for my kids also. But – if you haven’t noticed – board games have gotten pretty expensive! If you’re trying to find a new board game for family game night, you might have a hard time finding one that won’t break the bank.

So, I thought I’d share a list of fun family games that all cost less than 20 bucks a pop! Many of these are favorites of our kids (and some are even ones I loved as a child), so you’re sure to find a new family game night classic!

Family Games for Less Than 20 Bucks

Why not turn your family game night into a tournament? You can play one game, then the winners play a different game, and so on until you crown the ultimate family game night champion!

Make your next family night even more fun with these awesome ice cream recipes for kids and these delicious cookie bar recipes you can make together!
