How to Play the Cinco de Mayo Scavenger Hunt
Playing is easy — and you can adapt it for different ages or group sizes:
- Print the scavenger hunt sheets. Two are included, so you can play individually, in pairs, or in teams.
- Go over the items with players. For younger kids, talk through what each item is — or even teach the Spanish word for it!
- Choose your hunt area. You can play inside, outside, at school, or at home. Hide real items or pictures of the items listed.
- Set the rules. Will they check off each item as they find it? Snap a picture? Collect matching objects?
- Let the hunt begin! Celebrate once all items are found — prizes optional but always fun!
Tip: For older kids, make it a timed race. For younger ones, work as a group to find everything together.
