Fall Scavenger Hunt



The last official days of summer are upon us, and we are starting to see some leaves changing colours! For today, we’re going on a fall outdoor scavenger hunt to find fallen leaves of deciduous trees! If the leaves haven’t started to fall in your neighbourhood yet, don’t worry! You can just look for the green leaves still on the trees and learn more about the trees near you!
Here’s what you need:
- A notebook or paper to take notes
- Something to write with, like a pencil, pen, or marker
- Your favourite outdoor space
- Friends or family to join you
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1:

Make your way to your favourite outdoor space. It could be your local park, a walking trail, a beach, or even your backyard!
Step 2:
Look over the Scavenger Hunt Checklist.
You can save or screenshot this to your phone, or write the words down on a piece of paper.
Step 3:

Start exploring and looking around! Gather fallen leaves, take note of what you see, and be sure to check your scavenger sheet. Do it by yourself, work as a team, or challenge a friend to see who can get all the leaves first!
Tip:
Make sure to respect nature while you’re searching around. Don’t take anything you find home with you. If you move something, make sure you put it back.
