Take the hunt outside. This set of 20 free fall scavenger hunt printables turns an ordinary autumn walk into a proper little adventure — for the garden, the park, the school playground or a woodland path.

Each checklist is a different mix of fall things to spot, from acorns and pumpkins to owls, cardinals and hedgehogs. Every item has its own tick box, so children can mark each find as they go and see their progress across the page.

The collection is free to download and print, with no email sign-up. Every checklist fits on one PDF page, in black and white, and the pack comes in both A4 and US Letter sizes.

What’s Included

How to play the fall scavenger hunt

Print a checklist for each child — or one per team if you are playing together — and hand out a pencil. Then head outside and look for the items on the list. Tick each one off as you find it, and see who can finish a full row, or a whole sheet, first.

Keep it relaxed: there is no need to pick anything up. Looking, listening and pointing all count, and some things — a squirrel, an owl, a cardinal — may only be spotted from a distance. If an item is nowhere to be found, just leave its box empty and try again on the next walk.

For a group, split into small teams and give each team a different checklist, so nobody is hunting for exactly the same things.

Fall scavenger hunts for preschoolers

The picture-led checklists in this set work well for preschoolers, because children can hunt by picture even before they can read the words. Read each item aloud first, then let them point to the picture and tick the box themselves.

Keep the walk short and the list small for younger children — one checklist is plenty. Talk about colours, shapes and sounds as you go: a crunchy leaf, a round pumpkin, a stripy pinecone. It is a gentle way to practise observation and new autumn words.

How to print (A4 and US Letter)

Download the free PDF in A4 or US Letter — both files hold all 20 checklists, one per page. Print at 100% on plain paper, in black and white, and each sheet will come out ready to use. For a sturdier sheet that survives a muddy walk, print on light card.

Download the A4 PDF (20 pages) or the US Letter PDF (20 pages) — free, no email needed.

After the hunt, settle down with a quiet activity: our free cute animal coloring pages for kids, Thanksgiving coloring pages for kids or turkey coloring pages for kids.
