Turn your next fall outing into a fun adventure with this free Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt printable! Easy to use, screen-free, and packed with autumn charm.
There’s just something magical about a crisp fall day spent at the pumpkin patch, right? The hayrides, warm apple cider, rows and rows of pumpkins—it’s a memory-making moment waiting to happen.
But if you’re like me, you know kids sometimes need a little extra something to stay entertained. That’s where our Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt Printable comes in as the perfect fall activity while visiting the pumpkin farm!
Why We Love This Fall Activity
This scavenger hunt is one of my favorite ways to turn an ordinary pumpkin patch visit into an interactive adventure. It’s not just “walk around and pick a pumpkin”—it becomes a mission, a game, and a total blast for kids of all ages (and let’s be honest, grown-ups too).
Plus, it keeps everyone engaged and moving, without relying on screens.
What’s on the Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt List?
Our free printable includes a fun mix of fall-themed items to find. Some are easy, some are a bit of a challenge—and that’s what makes it so fun!
Here are a few things your kids will be hunting for:
- A tractor
- A pile of apples
- A pumpkin with a hook stem
- A pumpkin that fits in your hand
- Animals (you never know what you’ll see!)
- A pumpkin treat
- A pumpkin vine
- A white pumpkin
- A pumpkin as big as your head!
Each item turns into a fun moment of exploration and discovery.
How to Use This Printable at the Pumpkin Patch
Using this scavenger hunt is super simple and fun. Here’s how we make the most of it as a family:
- Print It Before You Go– Print one copy per child or let the kids work in teams. Toss in a clipboard and a pencil or crayon, and you’re ready.
- Add a Photo Twist– Let kids snap a picture of each item as they find it. Bonus: You’ll get the cutest fall photo collection ever.
- Add a Reward– We like to offer a little reward at the end—like choosing a treat from the farm stand or getting the biggest pumpkin they can carry.
Don’t Stress!
You don’t have to find everything. The goal is to have fun and notice the little things that make fall so magical.
