Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt [Printable]

The Holiday season is upon us, and Christmas festivities are getting started! I don’t know about you, but I could definitely use some holiday cheer to end out this crazy year. For many families, the holiday season is going to look a little different than years past. One tradition that can still be safely enjoyed is looking at Christmas lights. Many neighborhoods in the Milwaukee area go all out when it comes to decorating for Christmas! Just taking an evening drive can be a fun family activity this time of year. If you want to take it up a notch, you can turn a trip to look at Christmas lights into a family Christmas light scavenger hunt.

How to Go on a Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt

The beauty of this scavenger hunt is that you can customize the activity to your family. It’s a great activity for all ages that can be done in many different locations. You can walk through your neighborhood, drive through a downtown area, or play at a formal Christmas lights display in your area. (We always enjoy a drive through Candy Cane Lane in West Allis, WI.) The layout of the printable below allows for different types of games. You can play to see who crosses off the most squares, race to see who can get them all first, or play like bingo. There are so many options, but the main thing is to just have fun!
