Easy Printable Fourth of July Scavenger Hunt

Odds are good you might not be having the Fourth of July celebrations that you normally would this year. We always have a cookout and shoot fireworks in the backyard, and we will probably still do that, but without all the guests we would normally have.

If you want to give the kids something fun to do to make it a little more fun and celebratory, check out this printable Fourth of July scavenger hunt from Sunny Day Family.

It includes 10 clues you can print and use as they are, plus blank cards for your own clues specific to your home or backyard.

All you have to do is find the things for them to find, scatter them around and pick a prize for the end.

Fun Fourth of July Activities for Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
