Description

Open House Scavenger Hunt helps turn your preschool open house into a simple, guided classroom tour for students and families.

Instead of having everyone waiting for directions or asking the same questions at once, families can use the scavenger hunt sheet to move around the classroom, find important areas, complete simple tasks, and become more comfortable in the space.

The matching color-coded signs can be placed around the room to mark key locations such as the teacher area, bathroom, library, cubbies, centers, and other classroom spaces. This gives families a clear way to explore independently while still feeling welcomed and guided.

The resource is editable in Canva Pro, so you can customize the scavenger hunt tasks and signs to match your classroom layout, routines, and open house needs.
