1. Print All Pages in the Printable Elf Scavenger Hunt Pack
Start by printing out every page included in the printable pack. This ensures you have all the clue cards, letters, and extras needed for a smooth scavenger hunt experience. High-quality paper is recommended for a sturdy feel and better durability, especially if little hands are involved.
2. Prepare a Special Elf Surprise
Decide on a “special elf” surprise that will be the final treasure of the scavenger hunt. This could be a small gift, a special treat, or a new Elf on the Shelf accessory. Whether you choose to purchase a surprise or make one yourself, ensure it’s something that will excite and delight your children.

3. Place the First Clue with Your Elf
Cut out the “Scavenger Hunt from the Elf” letter and Clue Card 1. Place these items with your Elf on the Shelf in a spot where your kids will find them first thing in the morning. This sets the stage for the adventure and grabs their attention right from the start.
4. Set Up the Remaining Clues
Next, cut out the remaining clue cards. The printable pack includes 12 premade clues, but there are also blank cards for you to customize your own clues if you wish. Strategically place each clue card around your home in the appropriate locations as indicated by the clues. This part can be a lot of fun as you think about where to hide each card to keep the hunt challenging and exciting.

5. Conclude with the Final Surprise
Finally, cut out the “Scavenger Hunt, Congratulations you’ve cracked the code…..” letter. Place this concluding letter at the final location along with the special elf surprise you prepared earlier. This letter will let the kids know they’ve successfully completed the hunt and will reward them with a special prize.

6. Enjoy the Fun!
Sit back and watch as your children eagerly follow the clues, solve the riddles, and immerse themselves in the magic of the Elf on the Shelf scavenger hunt. Their excitement and joy will make all the preparation worth it!
