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

Make learning the Creation Story active, memorable, and fun with this printable Bible scavenger hunt for kids!

Based on Genesis 1–2, this Sunday school activity guides children through the days of creation as they read 10 short passages, search for code words, and solve a final mystery word.

Kids will explore how God created light, sky, land, plants, stars, animals, and people, and then rested on the seventh day. 

Each clue reinforces the central lesson that God is powerful and created everything in existence.
