Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up with the negatives in life. Take a moment with your child to find the positives with this Gratitude Scavenger Hunt! Find fifteen things in your life that makes you happy, that you’re thankful for, and more! This is a Social-Emotional and Language and Literacy activity, so your child can practice skills in both developmental domains!

Once you’ve found everything on the list, complete the second page of the scavenger hunt and fill in the prompts! This can be done through writing or drawing. Either way, your child will be practicing their fine-motor skills.

There are currently two versions of the scavenger hunt, with more designs coming soon!

Happy Searching!
