Inside: Make Going to the Park more fun with this free printable of park bingo. Visit new parks, try new climbing structures and cross them off one of the four bingo sheets. Play against each other or play as a group!
I have a mom confession to make.
I really can’t stand taking my kids to the park.
No, really.
I get bored out of my mind.
I don’t like small talk with other moms.
I don’t like sitting on hard park benches, even with a good book.
And I don’t like standing around getting sand in my shoes cheering for my kids sliding down the slide.
But I force myself to take them because I know the value of taking my kids to the park:
Free play
Creative play
Fresh air
Gross motor skill play
Confidence in their body space
Balance skills
Climbing skills
Feeling adventurous
But I needed to make going to the park more fun for me.
So in an effort to get me to ‘yes’ to more park time, my family started playing Park Bingo.
Scavenger Hunt Bingo For Kids
Make Going to the Park More Fun with Park Bingo:
During the summer as part of our “Camp Mom” activities and for our Spring Break staycations, my kids and I explore as many different parks as we can, rather than going to the same park over and over.
But we do it with the twist of Park Bingo.
So at each park we visit, we try to block out five in a row on our game board. If we can’t get five in a row, we save the Bingo game until we visit our next park.
We also sneak in a little kindness when we visit each park by hiding these summer random acts of kindness cards.
Here’s how we use these Park BINGO Scavenger Hunt cards:
1.Print out the Bingo Cards and use one per kiddo (there are 4 different versions) or have one for the whole family to share. Download it below.
2. Visit your local park and cross off as many park apparatus features as you can.
3. On your next park trip, visit a different park and see what you can cross off.
4. If you have older kids, encourage them to research parks near you that have different play structure features.
5. Keep visiting new parks in your neighborhood, your town, or neighboring towns until you get 5 in a row, an X, or total blackout.
6. If each of your kids is playing with their own board like we do in our family, the winner gets to pick the park to go to the next time you’re heading out, what snacks to pack for a picnic, or what treat to get after the park.
Park Bingo has challenged us to:
- Discover new parks that are a little farther away than our closest neighborhood parks,
- Find parks that have unique things for my kids to explore and,
- Seek out more advanced climbing options for my kids to stretch their skills.
And it’s challenged me to say ‘yes’ to park time more often.
What’s your kids’ favorite thing to find at a park? Tell me below! For my kids, it’s a tire swing!!

Turn a normal library trip into a treasure hunt adventure your kids will love using this free printable library scavenger hunt BINGO game. It’s official. Summer is here. The last bell has rung, and we are FREE until August. I have big plans for the summer…hopefully not too big.

My boys have been digging this game during our last few trips to the library, and I’m happy to report that they have been much more actively involved in picking books because of it. Our favorite challenge card to date?
Find the BIGGEST book you can! Biggest pokemon game. This week we found these two behemoth books that are full of gorgeous illustrations and tons of facts about animals. At first, we were going to look at them both in the library and pick which one we liked best to bring home, but my four-year-old couldn’t decide.
So I got to be the wonderfully indulgent mom who said, “Should we just bring both home?”
“Can we?!” he asked hopefully with wide eyes.
How great is it that I got mom points for allowing him to bring MORE learning and literacy into our home? WIN!
And, since I can’t be stopped once I discover a good thing, I decided to add to our library challenge game…by turning it into BINGO!
We love BINGO games at our house. We have a summer bucket list BINGO as well as a Random Acts of Kindness BINGO that my boys have loved doing in the past. BINGO games have been a great motivation for my kids and an easy way to keep track of what we’re accomplishing. It seemed a perfect fit for this library scavenger hunt challenge!
How to play library scavenger hunt BINGO
You can use this printable library BINGO game in several ways:
- Use it in conjunction with the library scavenger hunt bookmark cards. As your kids draw cards and complete challenges, mark them off on the BINGO sheet (use stickers or color in the box to show the challenges you’ve done). You can keep this sheet in your library bag so you have it for every trip. Over the course of the summer, see if you can get BINGO (or even blackout!).
- Use it as a stand alone activity. Especially if you have older kids who need more of a challenge, see if they can get BINGO all in one trip to the library. Keep the board for your next library trip, though, and challenge them to get BINGO going in a different direction.
Note: There are 36 challenge cards in my previous post, but only 25 BINGO squares, so some of the challenges didn’t make it onto the BINGO version. You may want to pull out the not-included cards if you think your children will mutiny if they don’t get to put a sticker on a box (I have one child that certainly WOULD launch a coup).
That’s it! I’d love to see pictures of the books your find this summer. Use the hashtag #summerlibraryscavengerhunt and tag me @meg_themanylittlejoyson Instagram.
Let’s make it a great summer of reading!
