Book Scavenger Hunt

​It’s a cold, dreary day today, so we had a book scavenger hunt. Maybe you remember doing these types of scavenger hunts in your school library. There was a particularly hard set of questions that required us to use the card catalog indexing system. *shivers* We had fun memories back in the stone ages, right?
Here are some of the scavenger hunt prompts I used with my kids that I tailored to our own book collection. You can create your own scavenger book hunt with books you own.
  • Find a book with more than 50 pages.
  • Find a book with an animal main character.
  • Find a book written by Dr. Seuss.
  • Find a rhyming book. Show me some of the words that rhyme together.
  • Find Hop on Pop. What are the two big words his dad can read?
  • Find I Wish You Happiness. How many dogs are in the book? How many cats?
  • Find Ten Little Lady Bugs. What animal came along as the ladybugs were climbing up the tree?  
  • Find The Gruffalo. When the mouse meets the fox, what kind of food does the mouse claim is the Gruffalo’s favorite food?
  • Find Snuggle Puppy. In the picture where momma puppy is baking, what ingredients are on the table?
  • Find a book that starts with “Once upon a time.”
  • Find a book with a super hero in it.
Need some more ideas? I’ve also created a FREE PRINTABLE book scavenger hunt. Just click below to download the PDF. Have fun inspiring your young reader!

Thank you so much for this fun activity! The kids had a blast looking through books on the bookshelf that they had forgotten about. We even found some books that we haven't read yet! It's a chilly -4 here with the wind chill and this is exactly what we needed today.
