Tips for using printables
These printable camping scavenger hunts are easy to print and use, but these tips will help you make the most of your printables.
I’m seriously protective of my colored ink. I recommend printing the colorful preschool camping scavenger hunt on presentation paper or cardstock and laminating it for repeat use.
Presentation paperis a heavyweight paper with a special coating for crisp, vibrant images.
When you laminate the scavenger hunt, your little one can use it over and over again. Your child can use a marker or (if you don’t trust them with a marker) a crayon to mark each picture off. Erase the marks and they’re ready to hunt again!
You may also want laminate the campground scavenger hunt for older children. The camping images to color can still be colored with markers or crayons.

Next there’s the text-based camping scavenger hunt. This version is best for independent readers and older children. The items are more involved and may require a little hiking around and searching. Most of the items are natural, not manmade so this scavenger hunt is great for a nature walk.
Using this outdoor scavenger hunt is a great opportunity to talk to your children about leave no trace camping. Encourage them to observe the items they find and snap a photo instead of taking the item.
The printable also features three camping images to color and spots to record the date and location. If you take photos of the items found and complete a different scavenger hunt each time you go camping, you can look back over your finds to compare and contrast them at the end of the camping season.
You could also print out the photos to make a collage or as part of a nature project.

Timing Tips:
Camping Bingo Free Printable Template
How long a bingo game lasts depends on what pace you read the clues at and how many players you have. If you read faster, such as for older or more experienced students, or if you have more players, the game tends to end more quickly. In general, I suggest allocating between twenty and thirty minutes to a bingo game. Since they can potentially end as early as the fourth word called, though that is quite rare, I encourage you to keep playing in the event of the game being over earlier than you expected it to be. Almost 90% of bingo games with a 25 word list and 25 players will see their first bingo within 7 to 11 words being called.
