Spooky Scavenger Hunt 2024

8 spooky scavenger hunt items. A bat, a skeleton, a black cat, a ghost, a poison apple, a melting wax candle, three pumpkins together, and a dog in costume.

Every year, my library hosts a trick-or-treating event organized by the town’s parks and recreation department. I usually have a spooky scavenger hunt in October to go with this event. This year, I crafted each clue out of construction paper, using Sharpies and puffy paint for some fun accents. I also laminated them so I can reuse them in future years. So far, the scavenger hunt has been a hit, and the kids love the tricky hiding spots I come up with each week!
