Indoor Scavenger Hunt

Kids love scavenger hunts but not all scavenger hunts can be done without leaving the home. This one’s great indoors. It’s fast-paced, fun and only a little bit challenging. Kids get to discover a lot about their homes and utilize some teamwork as they race to solve clues and discover fun prizes.

How to Set Up a Kids Scavenger Hunt for Indoors

Scavenger hunts do not have to be challenging. If you have a printer, you can have your own treasure hunt with just the click of a print button. To get started, you’ll need to download you files and print them out on your color printer. To make the cards more sturdy, consider using cardstock if you have it on hand.

The next step is to prep for the scavenger hunt by cutting the clue cards apart, and deciding which cards you’ll use. You can just use the ones that work best for your home, use less to make the hunt easier for younger kids, or use all 20 to extend the fun. The printable set includes blank cards so you can custom the scavenger hunt for your family or occasion too!

Set out the clues in the order you want the kids to find them and keep the first clue to hand to the players when you explain the game. You’ll have the scavenger hunt list answer key, in case anyone gets stuck on a house clue.

Once you have everything ready, it’s time to start the fun!

How do you start a scavenger hunt?

Before you begin a scavenger hunt with clue cards, you need to hide each clue card. Do yourself a favor and write the number on the back of the card. You can also use the answer key we provided and keep the same order we already have. Once the cards are in order, hide them in the correct spots.  If a clue card reads

“A clock can tell time, a pencil can write. What utensil do you use, to take a really big bite?.”

That means the next clue card should be hidden in the utensil drawer.

Practice the scavenger hunt so you can make sure you did not make mistakes when setting it up.

To start a scavenger hunt at home, keep your first clue card. You can read it aloud to your children or hand it over to your the players to read themselves. At this point, the players are on their own as they begin the challenge. You can be there for support if they are stumped on one of the fun riddles.

What are some good scavenger hunt clues?

Good scavenger hunt clues are just a tad bit challenging. That means to you they may seem like easy clues (or very obvious), but you want your child to scream out the answer as if they were so excited to quickly get the clue puzzles correct.

Example clues for an indoor scavenger hunt include…

You fill me up, then drain me when done. Adding lots of bubbles, always makes me more fun.

fun indoor scavenger hunt clues

I have a round knob and also a lock. Visitors and salesman may give me a knock.

At this point, you might be tempted to stop. Keep going and look in the place at night you will plop.

All of these riddles are found inside our indoor scavenger hunt set.

What are some good scavenger hunt prizes?

While prizes are required, it certainly is fun to have a reward of some sort at the end of the scavenger hunt.  It can be as simple as screen time tickets or a fun snack you make together.

Some kids scavenger hunt treasures include…

  • Candy
  • Snacks
  • Screen Time
  • Money
  • Treasure Chest with Chocolate Gold Coins
  • Small Toys
  • Incentive Coupons
  • Gift Cards

You can hide a prize with each card or keep the big prize for the end of the treasure hunt with the last clue card.

What are some scavenger hunt variations?

If you are looking for some scavenger hunt ideas, try variations on how to play. One way to play is to have the kids work together in teams. This can be a lot of fun, especially if you make a rule that the first team to find all the clues, or the team with the most points at the end, wins a prize.

If you have younger children playing, you might want to consider having an adult or older kid help each team. This way everyone can join in on the fun, and no one feels left out.

Another variation is to have a time limit. This adds a bit of extra pressure and really gets the kids excited as they try to beat the clock.

If you want to play again, or use the same scavenger hunt clues for a different occasion, you can always mix up the order of the clues. This way, even if the kids remember where some of the clues were hidden, they’ll still have to search high and low to find them all as they have no idea what clue will be next.

Which every scavenger hunt idea you choose, have fun and make your day a great one!

Drunk Jenga

drunk jenga drinking game

Jenga is a classic game that’s perfect for a night of drinking. For Jenga drinking game block ideas, write down different tasks on each block before you build your tower and start playing. If you pull out a block with a task, you have to complete the task. Not all Jenga blocks need tasks but they can have them. Example ideas include

  • Guys drink
  • Girls drink
  • No one drink for 3 minutes
  • Take a group photo
  • Skip your next turn
  • Beards drink
  • You can no longer take pieces from the center of the rows
  • Rock paper scissors with the person to your left – loser drinks
  • Compliment someone
  • Reverse direction

You will need a Hasbro Jenga Game to do this idea.

Never Have I Ever

never have I ever drinking game

This is always a fun game to play when alcohol is involved. Players take turns making statements about things they’ve never done. If anyone in the group has done what you said, they drink. For example never have I ever statements include

  • Never have I ever been arrested.
  • Never have I ever stolen anything
  • Never have I ever called an ex when drunk
  • Never have I ever skinny dipped
  • Never have I ever cheated on someone
  • Never have I ever been on TV
  • Never have I ever lied about my age
  • Never have I ever spied on my neighbors
  • Never have I ever had more than one date in a day
  • Never have I ever forged my parents signature

Truth or Drink

truth or drink drinking game

Similar to truth or dare, only with alcohol. This is a fun do or drink game that gets everyone involved. To play, each person writes down 10 dares on small pieces of paper. Fold them up and put them in a hat. Players take turns drawing a dare from the hat and either completing the dare or taking a drink. Examples drinking game questions include…

  • Who are you most jealous of?
  • How much money is in your bank account?
  • Are you where you want to be in life?
  • What’s the longest you’ve gone without a shower?
  • Who broke up your last relationship?
  • What was your most embarrassing moment?
  • What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever done?
  • If you had 24 hours to live, what would you do?
  • What’s the last thing you searched on your phone?
  • Have you pretended to be sick to get out of plans?

The more outrageous the dares, the better!

Some parties are just better when planned ahead. While these games are really fun, they sometimes are overplayed.  In addition to these easy drinking games for small gatherings, take a look at special 21st birthday party ideas as well as unique drinking games for adults of all ages.

What are some fun Drinking Games?

When you’re a college student, few things can compare to the excitement of a 21st birthday. And doing a few rounds of drinking games is always a blast. You’re finally turning the big 2-1, so it’s time to get the party started! These drinking games are perfect for your 21st birthday… or really any birthday beyond 21. They’re easy to play, don’t require too much setup and are sure to get everyone laughing.

fun drinking games for adults at a 21st birthday party

When putting these adult drinking ideas together we had a few ideas in mind… MAKE IT LOW-COST and MAKE IT UNIQUE! SO that is just want this is. Fun and unique party games that stray away from the tradition. Plus these drinking party games for adults won’t break the bank allowing you to spend money other places…like alcohol.

Best of all, you can easily adapt if you do not drink. The games are fun and silly and can easily be substituted with a non-alcoholic beverage… you promise the laughter will still ensue.

I’m Going to a Bar

To play this game, all you need is a group of people and some alcohol. Start by going around the circle and each person says, “I’m going to a bar and I’m going to buy…” then what drink they’re going to buy.

The next person does the same but adds their adult beverage to the list. Each person takes a turn as it goes around the circle. If you forget one of the drinks, you’re out.

The catch is, you can’t say the same drink twice. So, if someone says they’re going to buy a vodka and cranberry, the next person can’t say they’re buying a vodka and cranberry. The player is out. The last person left is the winner!

Cup Swap

To play this game, you need at least 4 people, cups, and some spoons. The players will hurry to scoop the cocktail into an empty cup using a spoon before the timer runs out. Whatever is left after the 1 minute timer goes off, they drink.

Prosecco Pong

This is a classic drinking game with a fun 21st birthday twist! You’ll need ping pong balls, enough cups to set up in the shape of a triangle for both teams, and prosecco. Teams take turns bouncing their ping pong ball into the other team’s pyramid of cups. Once the ball lands in a cup, the prosecco is drunk by the team who’s cup it landed in. The first team to eliminate all of the other team’s cups wins!

Adapt with beer or a non-drinking game option is to use empty cups and marshmallows as ping-pong balls.

Flip it or Sip it

Using a coin, players will take turns flipping the coin and calling out what side they think it will land on. If they’re right, the other player drinks. If they’re wrong, they drink. Simple as that!

Junk in the Trunk

In this fun minute to win it game, fill an empty tissue box with ping-pong balls. The fun doesn’t end there. Tie that box around a players waist and see if they can get all the balls out of the box in one minute. Might be fun to blast the tunes to Taylor Swift’s Shake it Off!

Defy Gravity

This balloon game see how long you can keep 3, 4, 5 balloons in there air. The participant that keeps the balloons up the longest is the winner. Keep adding balloons as you go.

Roll-On Buddy

This is a fun and silly game. It causes your guests to get on the floor. So if you are the host, make sure to give it a good cleaning before your guests and birthday guy or gal arrive. Players will roll an egg across the floor without using their hands. Noses only!

Medusa

In this traditional drinking game, Jell-O shots are a must! All the players get in a circle and look down. When they look up, you must make eye contact with a player. If you make eye contact with the same player who made eye contact with you, you yell “Medusa” and take a shot. Play until the shots are all gone.

Donut on a String

This fun kids game is even more fun when played with adults… and maybe a little alcohol. Tie donuts to a string and see if you can get your donut eaten the fastest. No hands!

Straight Face

Definitely add this game closer to the end of the night. It will be even harder to keep a straight face. In this verbal drinking game, everyone writes down a phrase on a piece of paper. It can be ridiculous, inappropriate or just outright silly. The player will draw a phrase from the pile and attempt to say the phrase without smiling, giggling or laughing.

Pass the Orange

This fun ice breaker game causes you to get up close and personal. Split players into two teams. Line up all players within the team. Starting with the first player, players must pass an orange on down the line. The trick is, the orange must be under your neck and no hands can be used. I hope you don’t prefer your personal space!

Donuts & Cocktail Sticks

If you thought the donut game on ta string was fun, try this fun activity. Pass donuts on down a line using cocktail sticks. Similar to pass the orange only adding a few other game supplies. See if your team can beat the opposing team in time.

Titanic

What did the Titanic do, sink! In this fun beer game, place an empty shot glass on top of beer sot hat it floats. Slowly add liquor into the shot glass. When the shot glass sinks, the player drinks it. This creates a DIY Irish Car Bomb and might be best played with Irish whiskey, Baileys Irish cream and Guinness.

Worm Search

This messy game brings you to childhood but is really fun! Hide a gummy worm (or more) in a whipped cream pie. On the start of go, players search their whipped cream pie and pull out gummy worms one by one. The player that gets the most in time, wins. Laughter guaranteed.

Bite the Bag

How low can you go? View this game as a twist on the limbo. Don’t worry, there’s no pole dancing in this fun activity. Start with a brown paper bag. The first round is easy. Players must bend over and pick it up with their mouth. Slowly cut the bag back and do the same thing – bend over and pick up the bag with your mouth. Continue the bag game and cut the bag back each round. See who can go the lowest when the brown bag is extra short.

Two Truths & A Lie

In this classic game, you share a little bit about yourself. It’s a great ice breaker drinking game. Each player will take a turn and tell three facts about themselves. Two facts are true, one is a lie. The rest of the players must try to guess your bluff or the lie.

Mrs. or Mr. Freeze

Declare a Mr, or Mrs. Freeze at the beginning of the night. When the mister or misses freezes, everyone in the room must freeze too. The last person to freeze, takes a sip of their drink or a shot. You can play this game all night long. I bet it gets harder as the night goes on!

Heads Up!

This game will only get worse as the night continues… Download the Heads Up App from Ellen DeGeneres to your cellphone. Hold the phone device to your forehead and try to discover the word you are holding up. Your teammates can give you hints like its’ an animal, it has 4 legs, it hibernates. You can also ask questions as you try to figure out the word before times up. Categories might be famous people, movies, TV shows, animals, and more.

Enjoy these adult birthday party games perfect for a 21st birthday party celebration or any ‘ole occasion!

Cheers to a great night!

Disclaimer: Extreme drinking can have terrible outcomes. Enjoy in moderation. Please drink responsibly. No drinking and driving. These games can be adapted to be used with no drinks or non-alcoholic beverages.

“DECORATING OFF”

Grab some already baked cookies and see who can decorate them the best. Set a timer for 5 minutes and at the end, the coolest cookie wins!

Supplies: Baked cookies, cookie decorating supplies.

TRUTH OR DARE BALLOON BURST

Think of this as a combination of truth or dare and musical chairs. Fill balloons with truth or dare questions and then fill them up with air. As the music is playing, pass the balloon around to each person. Once the music stops, the person holding the balloon has to pop the balloon and complete the dare inside or answer the question of truth.

Supplies: Balloons, paper, pencil, music. (See our 100 Truth or Dare Questions for Kids)

MURDER IN THE DARK CARDS

All you need is a deck of cards. Leave only the numbered cards in the pile, plus 1 ace and 1 face card. That’s it. Have everyone draw a card. The one who gets the ace card is the detective and the one who gets the face card is the murderer. The detective reveals themselves but no one else does.

As no one is looking, the murderer has to wink at their latest victim in which that person quietly goes “out” and puts down their card. It’s up to the detective only to figure out who is needing to be charged with the crime.

Supplies: A deck of cards.

SPIN THE BOTTLE OF NAIL POLISH

This is all about crazy nail colors! Put a nail polish bottle in the middle of the circle and spin. Whoever it lands on has to paint their nails that color. Keep going until crazy nails are everywhere.

Supplies: Random colors of fingernail polish.

CHARADES

This is the typical game of charades. You can even play in the dark to add a super fun twist to it.

Supplies: Charades cards templates or pieces of paper.

MUSICAL SLEEPING BAGS

Make certain that you have one less sleeping bag than people playing. Start the music and have everyone walking around the sleeping bags. Once the music stops, they get to hop in the bags and pretend to sleep. Anyone without a bag is out.

Supplies: Sleeping bags, music.

BOBBING 4 DONUTS

Grab some string and hang up those donuts. The first person that can finish the donut off the string without using their hands, wins!

Supplies: String, donuts.

SARDINES

It’s like a reverse game of hide and seek. This game starts with one person hiding and then everyone else looking for them. As they are found, the finder joins in each time until there is a huge group of people hiding and one final person trying to find them all.

KEEP TALKING

Just how much can you talk? Put a whole bunch of random topics on pieces of paper and put them in the bowl. The kids will draw out one piece and talk about that topic for 2 minutes non-stop. What all will they say?!

Supplies: Big bowl, pieces of paper, pencil.

BLIND VAN GOGH

Split up into two teams and pick someone to put on the blindfold. Once they can’t see what it is, choose an object that the other person has to explain (without saying the actual name of the object) and have them draw out what they think is being described.

Supplies: Blindfold, pencil, paper.

BLIND MAKEOVER

Get ready to show off your makeup skills. Pick someone to be the makeup person, and one person to get their face decorated. Add the blindfold to the makeup artist and set a timer for 2 minutes. See how good their makeup looks once done!

Supplies: Makeup supplies.

kids games to play in the car printable

On the road again….

Spring break, summer break, holiday breaks. Whatever the reason, travel is around the corner and soon families will be hitting the road for vacation. Family road trips can be a great way to spend time together, but they can also be long and tedious if you are not prepared.

How do you make a car ride fun?

We asked some moms, how do you make a car ride fun? There were plenty of fun answers to make a long road trip more comfortable.

  • Charge electronics before a trip so they kids can have screen time
  • Pack a lot of snacks
  • Purchase new toys and games for a car treasure chest
  • Watch a movie on a car screen
  • Download audio books
  • Plan pit stops at fun places

While we agree with many of these ideas, some of them could become quite costly. Instead of adding everything to a very expensive online shopping cart…. Instead of everyone putting on head phones and looking at their tablets…. Put the electronics down and try some low-cost verbal games with your family.

We put together some fun car games for families you can print today! What makes this set of 12 road trip games unique is that they require very few supplies. They are also perfect car boredom busters creating family fun for everyone – young and old.

Road Trip Games to Play in the Car

When it’s time to plan your next road trip, don’t get caught without a plan to keep everyone busy. Found in our printable pages of fun car games, these games are perfect for passing the time and keeping everyone entertained. To make the most of your time in the car, we’ve put together a list of our favorite road trip games to play in the car to print out and entertain the whole group.

kids road trip games to play in the car

Some popular road trip games include I Spy, 20 Questions, The Alphabet Game, The License Plate Game, The Counting Game, and Road Trip Bingo.

Here’s a quick overview of how to play car games listed in our printable set.

I Spy: This classic game is perfect for young children and can be played by anyone. One person starts by saying, “I spy with my little eye something that is (color, shape, texture, etc.).” The other players then have to guess what object the first person is thinking of.

20 Questions: This game is similar to I Spy, but instead of describing an object, the player thinks of a person, place, or thing. The other players then get to ask 20 questions to try to figure out what the player is thinking of.

The Alphabet Game: The goal of this game is to spot objects in alphabetical order staring with letter a, then letter b and so on. For example, you might see an Acura, balloon, and cat. The next person would then have to find something that starts with the letter D.

The License Plate Game: This game is played by looking for license plates from different states. The first person to spot a license plate from every state wins the game. It’s hard to get 50 state tags when you involve Hawaii and Alaska!

Animal Name Game: Perfect their spelling you start listing this series of animals. Let the fun continue when each player list the name of an animal that starts when the ending letter of the alphabet from the pervious animal listed. See if you can stump the next player!

Car Cricket: Pay attention to the color of cars and try to score the most points when you are up to bat. This game has no skill but see who will get lucky racking up their points to 100 winning the game first.

Connections: Connect words in this fun ongoing game. It will be quite insightful to see how the whole family sees different words and how different things string together in their mind making each invidudal unique.

Conversation Starters: Get to know your family with these conversation starters. Perfect for the dinner table, they also can be used in the car for road trip fun!

Sing a Long String a Long: Warm up your vocal chords and try to catch a tune. String the line of a song with a new song when you connect words from lyrics

I’m Going on a Picnic: In this game, the first player lists something they are bringing on a picnic. The second person repeats their items and adds one of their own items. The game continues with a string of items added to the picnic basket. (Don’t worry – it doesn’t have to fit inside, get creative with ideas!)

Impersonation: See if you can identify the actor or character your carmate is impersonating!

Alphabet Categories: MORE

What makes these the best car games is they can easily be adapted to younger kids, older kids and even adults. In fact, I was reminiscing playing with my youth group leader as a teen driving cross country. That means, both a 15 year old and 35 year old found this engaging and fun!

These frugal friendly games are mostly spoken word games. So the driver can use his/her mind and engage on the fun too. When a checklist is needed, a passenger can keep track of their score.

Ready for meaningful mealtime conversation? These dinner conversation starters are what you need! Download and print 65+ engaging topics and questions that are a perfect fit for connection at the dinner table. Set includes blank cards to add your own relevant questions.

Best Dinner Conversation Starters for Families

Dinnertime is a valuable time of the day to connect as a family. It’s a time to share how your day went, to catch up on news, and to enjoy each other’s company. Dinnertime conversation starters are a great resource to keep the conversation flowing and to prevent awkward silences.

Coming up with topics of conversation can be tough, especially for kids. Often small talk occurs but we don’t get to the root of who our child is. We miss this occasion and before we know it days have turned to years and we are waving good-bye in the review mirror as they drive off to college.

That’s why we’ve compiled a list of family dinner conversation starters that will help get the conversation flowing around the table. Turn regular family dinners into a favorite family activity.

Why are Family Dinner Conversation Starters Important?

printable family dinner conversation starters for the dinner table

Family dinner conversation starters are important because they help families connect with each other. They provide a way to share news, catch up on what’s going on in each other’s lives, and enjoy each other’s company.

In addition, family dinner conversation starters can help prevent awkward silences and to encourage friendly talks about important topics and lighthearted conversations that make a big impact on family bonds.

How to Use Family Dinner Conversation Starters

There are many ways to use family dinner conversation starters. They can be used as icebreakers to get the conversation started, or they can be used to keep the conversation going if it starts to lull. The important thing is to find a way to use them that works for your family.

Some families like to go around the table and have each person share one thing about their day. Others like to pick one conversation starter and discuss it as a family. And still others like to use conversation starters as a way to get to know new family members or friends.

Simply print and cut the cards. Add them to a bowl and use as you’d like for a routine dinnertime. You could also make a conversation starter jar. Fold the cards, insert in the mason jar and keep it lidded on the dinning table.

Easter basket plastic easter eggs family conversation starter cards idea

Alternatively, get creative with how you use these cards. Is it a holiday or special time of year? Incorporate the holiday into how you use the conversations. For example, during Easter put a different conversation card in plastic Easter eggs. Put all the eggs in an Easter basket in the center of the table. During the lent season, a family member can draw and an Easter Egg and you can go over different dinner questions during the spring season.

What are Some Good Family Dinner Conversation Starters?

How many times do you use the question “How was your day today?” in a year? For me, I use it daily and often forget to use my pocket full of reliable conversation starters for kids. While it’s great to know about their day, go deeper than asking such a generic question.

Some good family dinner conversation starters include:

  • Did anything interesting happen at school/work?
  • What are you looking forward to this weekend?
  • What was your favorite part of the day?
  • What are you looking forward to tomorrow?
  • What was the best thing that happened to you today?
  • Tell me about your friends.
  • Who do you admire most and why?
  • What was the best thing about your day?
  • What do you like the most about the person sitting to your left?
  • What is the funniest thing that happened to you this year?
  • If you could turn someone nice – who would it be?
  • How would your pet describe you?
  • What is your favorite family tradition and why?
  • If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do?

These including funny conversation starters but also deeper conversation starters where you really dig into your child and spouse’s heart. What are are their fears, hopes, desires, dreams?

Dinner Conversation Starters Printable

Erase the awkward silence and create a memory your kids will pass on to their kids. To help get the chatter going, we’ve designed a easy to use printable that you can print out, cut apart, and leave on the table for family dinners.

There are 69 conversation starters and once you use them all, you can go back through the cards- the answers will change over time and depending on who is answering the question. For example, “What was your last thought before going to sleep last night?”

Family Conversation Starters Printable Cards

These helpful cards help your family get deep with these discussion starters that are great for both kids and adults. In this Family Conversation Starter Cards Printable PDF Set, there are 69 convo starters and a blank page of 24 so you can add your own questions. Print the blank page as many times as you’d like to create personalized starters for your family or the time of year.

Make time for people who make time and learn more about friends and family at dinner time! Pull out some of the cards and use when hosting a dinner party, for Thanksgiving dinner or even Christmas dinner party. A good friend and party guests might enjoy reliving their earliest memory, dream job, favorite holiday, biggest regret, most desired superpower or favorite movie. They also make great conversation ice breakers for adults and kids alike. It’s the perfect time to use the blank cards to add topics and questions that are a fit for those individuals you are hosting. It’s sure to bring the laughter.

These printable lemonade stand signs are a super fast and easy way for the kids to create their very own summer business idea easily and with minimal effort.

These printable lemonade signs are brightly colored and sure to catch the eye of anyone who happens to be driving or walking by. All that is left is for the kids to make homemade lemonade, grab a few supplies, and set a price point for what they’re going to be selling it for.

The lemonade stand banner is perfect for hanging in front of the table, and they can even keep track of every glass sold with the printable tracker page, too! Talk about a way to get their minds working during the summer months!

This lemonade printable packet is perfect for teaching them lifelong skills revolving around customer service and learning how to earn money. And if you need stellar lemonade recipes, check out my Copycat Chick-fil-A Lemonade Recipe and Pink Lemonade Recipe.

How much does a lemonade stand cost?

Lemonade stands are not cheap plus they take up lots of storage. If you purchase a lemonade stand, you likely will be paying more than the revenue you end up making in your sales. Lemonade stands start at around $50 and can go all the way up to $400 if you get a custom lemonade stand on Etsy.

Alternatively, you can make your own DIY Lemonade Stand using an upcycled wooden pallet. You can also purchase a cute lemonade stand table cover you can quickly toss in the wash at the end of your event.

Where is a good place to set up a lemonade stand?

It’s all about visibility! Anywhere where there is good foot traffic or cars that are driving by is a great place to set up the stand. Just be sure that you’re in an area where it’s safe for the kids and that they’re away from the side of the road and traffic.

Another great idea for a lemonade stand is to have it at the end of your driveway or in your front yard. That way, it’s off the road but still visible to everyone who is passing by.

Tips for Printing These Printable Lemonade Stand Signs

Since there will be many opportunities throughout the summer months and year to use these lemon stand printables, why not laminate them so that they last?

The kids can help with the laminating process and also use their cutting skills to cut them out, too. It can be a fun family team effort to put together everything needed.

Don’t forget that they can always add their own works of art to the signs as well! Handmade signs are always popular in drawing in more customers, too!
