Printable Beach Scavenger Hunt

It’s summer and this Printable Beach Scavenger Hunt will open the eyes of children to all the things they see at the beach but don’t realize. The beach is more than sand and sun, so print up enough for everybody and when it’s time to explore, you’ll be ready. Print up extras and maybe put them in a plastic sleeve to keep them dry.

Trivia:

All beach pollution is harmful to wildlife. Birds may choke on small bits of plastic. Marine mammals such as sea lions may become tangled in ropes, twine, or other material. Floating plastic may prevent algae or sea plants from developing. This prevents animals that live in tide pools, such as sea anemones or sea stars, from finding nutrients.

Supplies

White Paper
Printer
Markers
Plastic Sleeves (Optional)

Instructions

Print out enough copies of the Beach Scavenger Hunt sheet, making a couple extra in case they get wet.
You can make them water proof by laminating or enclosing them in a plastic sleeve. If you do this and use washable markers you can use them more than once.

Head out to the beach and after everybody has had a chance to run in the water and dig in the sand pull out the scavenger hunt and see them light up again. Oh and don’t forget the sunscreen!
