Photo Scavenger Hunt for Tweens! (free printable party game!)

by 25 Comments

Are you looking for fun party games for kids that would be perfect for a birthday party for tweens? Kids love a good photo scavenger hunt– but most of the scavenger hunt ideas I've found online take place at the mall- and I don't know that the mall employees are always so happy to have kids running around snapping silly pictures while not buying anything! So I created a fun photo scavenger hunt for kids that is perfect for tweens and can take place in your own backyard or at a nearby park!

Are you looking for a fun party game for tweens that would be perfect at kids birthday parties? Here’s a fun photo scavenger hunt for kids that is perfect for tweens and can take place in your own backyard or at a nearby park! My kids had such a blast doing this!

How to Run Your Photo Scavenger Hunt

Whether you are doing this at a party or just during a fun get together- you'll want to divide the kids into teams. A team of four would be perfect but you can have smaller or larger teams and the photo scavenger hunt will still work!

You'll want to establish a starting time and an ending time- I suggest to give the kids an hour to complete all of the tasks and edit their pictures. (The instructions tell them that they will need to be able to show their pictures in order of the tasks listed- just one image of each task).

Pro Tip: If you are doing this at a party- it would be really great to have the kids take the photos on your phone and other family members' phones (just make sure that you have a good protective case and screen protector in case it is dropped!). That way you'll have all of the photos after the party is over (see my “step further ideas” below!).

    I have already subscribed. Do I need to subscribe every time I want to download one of your printables?

      That’s because you haven’t confirmed your subscription to that download. Don’t worry- you’ll only be added to my mailing list one time- but you must confirm each subscription in order to receive the download.
