Creation Story Scavenger Hunt For Kids (Genesis 1-2)

You know the moment in Sunday school when the Creation story starts to feel familiar and the class stops listening. This printable scavenger hunt turns Genesis 1 and 2 into a game your kids move through, so the story they think they know becomes something they discover for themselves.

As they hunt, kids walk through the days of creation in order: light, sky, land, plants, stars, animals, and people, and then the rest God took on the seventh day. Every clue reinforces the same truth, that God is powerful and created everything in existence. The movement is the review, so the lesson sticks without another worksheet.

Prep is simple. Print the 10 clue cards, hide them around your classroom, and teach. Kids may begin at any card, and small groups, teams, or your whole class can play together. The teacher setup instructions and answer key do the heavy lifting, so you spend your time teaching instead of preparing.

How to play

• Print and hide the 10 clue cards around your classroom, church, or home.
• Kids may begin at any card. They read the passage, solve the code word prompt, and search the other cards to find the answer.
• After recording all 10 code words, they use the shaded boxes on their answer sheet to reveal the final mystery word.
