Simply download our St Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt here, print it out, and let the kids loose for some seasonal fun. A prize for the winner doesn’t need to be a sweet treat — it could be choosing the next family movie, a new book, staying up a little later than usual, or some one-on-one time with mum or dad.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this scavenger hunt suitable for?
It works well for a wide age range. Younger children can hunt for simple colours or familiar objects, while older kids can be challenged with a time limit or asked to find everything on the list unaided.
Can we play indoors as well as outdoors?
Yes. The hunt is designed to work whether you’re stuck indoors on a rainy March day or out and about in the garden or a local park.
Do I need to print it out?
The scavenger hunt is available as a downloadable PDF, so you’ll need to print it at home before you start. It’s ready to use straight away once printed.
What should the winner get as a prize?
It’s entirely up to you — a sweet treat works, but so does something like choosing the next family movie, a later bedtime, or some one-on-one time with a parent.
