Scavenger Hunt

Discover Wildlife in your School or At Home

Choose your Hunt from our options below. Teachers can use the Scavenger Hunt designed for Schools, including schools that have limited green space. These are available in English and Irish below. 

Taking part at home? You might prefer our other Hunts. Choose to explore watery places or stay on solid ground. Try our Wildlife Activity Sheet or our Sensory Activity Sheet. Print at home and have fun exploring!

All sheets include fun indoor activities too! 

Teacher Resources

The Scavenger Hunt sheets have been designed to fit into a 40 minute time slot, but can be shortened or lengthened to suit the class. 

Both sheets have been made with children of primary school age in mind. The difficulty of the questions can be altered to suit the class. There is a choice of two different sheets. ‘In Our School Yard’ can be used for schools that have limited green space, while ‘In Our School Garden’ has more items that could be found in your school’s green areas.

Further Biodiversity Resources for teachers can be found at Biodiversity for Schools, Birdwatch Ireland, and Heritage in Schools.

Scavenger Hunt at School

Not a teacher? You can still take part! The Scavenger Hunt sheets are perfect for families or for self driven exploration.
