My favorite part of Christmas isn’t the presents or even the food. It’s the fun times spent with family and friends. We make a special effort to get together and enjoy time together and it’s such a special way to bond with those we love. These Christmas Scavenger Hunt Printables are great to use at a holiday party or simply for your own family gathering.
There are two different versions here. One is a selfie scavenger hunt, searching for holiday themed items around town. The other is a Christmas light bingo game. Either of them get you and your friends and family out there enjoying the winter weather and the holiday decorations in your city.

CHRISTMAS THEMED SCAVENGER HUNT
For the Christmas scavenger hunt, the idea is to head out in pairs or teams and search for the items on the list. You can set a time limit (find as many as possible in 2 hours, for example) or you can end it when each team find X number of items on the list.

Either way, points are given for each item that is found and recorded with a selfie. One point per item with 3 extra points being given for the most creative and out of the box entry for each item. Most points wins!
You can also do this with your family simply as a fun way to get out and about. Set yourselves a goal – once you find 10 items, you’ll stop for hot cocoa and cookies, for example.
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS BINGO GAME
With the Christmas lights bingo game, it’s another scavenger hunt of sorts. This time, instead of just looking for any Christmas themed items, they need to be Christmas lights/light displays. Use red and green bingo dabbers to track their finds!

You can again decide on a time limit, choose the winner as the first team to fill both a row and a column, or as the first to find X number of items on the card. Again, this would be a fun family activity (how about on Christmas Eve?).

We go visit the lights in the village every year and a checklist like this would be so fun to do as we look at the lights, plus everyone loves selfies.
