Seekaboo is a kids scavenger hunt printable pack with 14 themed picture hunts and a complete treasure hunt kit. Every item has a simple drawing and a word, so a three-year-old can play on their own and a nine-year-old still gets a challenge. Print a page, grab a pencil and send the explorers off: around the house, the backyard, the park, the grocery store or out of the car window.
You get 37 pages in one PDF, in both US Letter and A4. Most hunt packs stop at a few checklists. Seekaboo also gives you 30 rhyming clue cards, 12 picture clue cards for pre-readers, a planner for hiding the clues, write-your-own clue cards, two certificates and six award badges.
What this scavenger hunt printable does
Each hunt fills one page with 16 things to find. Kids tick the box when they spot one, count their finds and color a star for each. Two Big Kid Bonus challenges at the bottom keep older kids busy. When the hunt is done, you hand out a certificate or a badge.
The treasure hunt kit turns any afternoon into a party game. Each clue card points to a place in the house or yard, the next card is hidden there, and the last card leads to the treasure. The answer is printed upside down on every rhyme card, so you never forget where a clue goes.

- Print the hunts you need at 100% scale. Use cardstock for clue cards, certificates and badges.

- Hand out the pages and let the hunt begin. Count the stars and celebrate at the end.
File format and software
Both files are PDFs with embedded fonts, clickable contents, a “Back to Contents” link on every page and bookmarks. They include 584 fillable fields: seeker names, dates, tick boxes, the treasure planner, the editable clue cards, scores, passport stars, certificate names and badge names. The fields were tested with PDFium (the PDF engine in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge) and with Poppler. Any PDF reader can open and print the pages. To type on screen, use a PDF reader that supports fillable forms. The user guide is a Word (DOCX) file.
Customizing your hunts
Type the seeker’s name and date before you print, write your own clues on the editable cards, or add a theme of your own with the Make Your Own Hunt page. The pages use white backgrounds and light fills to save ink. For reuse, slip a page into a sheet protector and use a dry-erase marker.
Real ways families use it
