Christmas Scavenger Hunt
Hosting a scavenger hunt is just one more way your family can have fun with What God Wants for Christmas!
The Checklist
Print and prepare the clue cards (PDF). You may choose to print the clue cards on cardstock. If you're hosting a hunt for a large group, save yourself the time of cutting apart multiple sets. And remember to keep a log sheet of where you've hidden the characters. This helps keep you from losing the important parts of your nativity set!

Begin the hunt
When ready for play, distribute one card to each participant. Explain that the rhyme on the card provides clues to 1) the character they seek and 2) its hiding location. If there are extra cards, explain that those who return with their found character will receive another clue card. The winner is the one who finds the most characters, or finds his character(s) the fastest, depending on how you choose to play the game.
