Scavenger hunts are a brilliant way to keep kids busy, and this one comes with a clever twist – it gets them practising their numbers while they play. Our free numbers scavenger hunt download is perfect for a rainy afternoon indoors or a burst of energy outside.
Simply print off the sheet, hand it to the kids, and let them loose to hunt, count and tick things off as they go. You can time them for extra excitement, or let them take it at their own pace – it works either way.

Try Our Fun Numbers Scavenger Hunt
This scavenger hunt suits all ages. Preschoolers will enjoy the simple counting practice, while you can make it more of a challenge for older children by setting a time limit or adding extra rules.
We’ve put together both an indoor list and an outdoor list, so the hunt works whatever the weather:
- On a wet day, keep everyone entertained with the indoor Numbers hunt.
- When the sun’s out, send them off around the garden or a local park with the outdoor list instead.
You can download our Numbers scavenger hunt here – just print one or both sheets and get hunting.
