A school supplies treasure hunt is a fun and engaging activity that turns back-to-school prep into an exciting adventure. Instead of handing kids their pencils, notebooks, and erasers, parents or teachers can hide the items and create simple clues or a map to guide them on a hunt around the house or classroom.

This playful approach not only builds excitement for the new school year but also supports important skills like reading, problem-solving, and teamwork. Kids stay active and focused as they search for each item, turning a routine task into a memory-making moment.

By the end of the hunt, children feel proud of the supplies they’ve “discovered” and are more eager to use them. It’s a simple activity that brings joy, learning, and a touch of adventure to the start of the academic journey.
