How to Have an Elf Scavenger Hunt
Let’s get started on our Elf on the Shelf treasure hunt! There are a few ways you can play this fun Elf scavenger hunt:
Let your Elf on the Shelf take all the glory – Hide the images around your home and leave the cards next to your Elf on the Shelf. I even included a little card for the Elf to hold explaining how to play the game.
Turn it into a Treasure Hunt – Hide the images around the house and place little prizes near each one. Small items like candy. You could also make one image harder to find and put a bigger prize near it or once kids are done you give them a prize.
Hide the Images just for Fun – hide the images around your home and tell kids to have fun. Prizes and elves don’t need to be included.
