Turn Hanukkah gift-giving into an exciting adventure with a Hanukkah Scavenger Hunt! My Hanukkah printable scavenger hunt turns each night into a fun-filled adventure that your family will love.
One of my favorite things about Hanukkah is finding small ways to make each night extra special. This year I’m doing just that with a fun Hanukkah game – a Hanukkah scavenger hunt!
Perfect for families of all sizes, this scavenger hunt adds an extra layer of fun to your Hanukkah traditions, and I’ve made it easy for you with these free printable scavenger hunt cards.
Whether you’re looking for creative Hanukkah printables or festive Hanukkah games, this activity has you covered.
What Is Hanukkah Scavenger Hunt?
A Hanukkah gift scavenger hunt is a creative way to make gift-giving more interactive. Instead of simply handing over presents, you’ll use fun, riddle-like clues to guide your family to hidden gifts around the house. It draws out the excitement, adds extra time to spend together as a family, and best of all, it’s fun!
This Hanukkah printable comes with two different versions of scavenger hunt cards, so you can mix things up and keep the excitement going each night. Plus, I’ve also included blank cards, so you can add your own personal touch.

It can be as simple or as creative as you’d like. It’s a great way to bring everyone together.

How to Use the Hanukkah Scavenger Hunt Printable
Making the most of this printable game for Hanukkah is simple. Here’s how to get started:
1. Download
First, download the PDF printable from the link below. You will get both versions, an answer key for each, and extra blank cards to make your own.
3. Print and Prepare Cards
Print the Hanukkah game and cut out the cards along the lines. Don’t forget to keep the blank cards handy if you want to create your own clues.
TIP: If you’re using a color printer, double-check your settings to ensure it prints in color. Also make sure it’s set to print in portrait mode!
4. Hide the Gifts
Using the included Answer Key, match each clue to a hiding spot in your home. Place each gift in its designated location along with the next clue. I typically hide one gift per night to prevent any early findings.
5. Start the Fun
Each night, after lighting the candles, hand your child the card for that evening. Watch as they follow the clues to find their Hanukkah gift.
How to Make Your Scavenger Hunt Even More Fun
- Add Small Treats: Add a piece of gelt, a dreidel, some Hanukkah Bark Candy, or another small treat with each clue for an extra surprise.
- Choose Creative Hiding Spots: Think about other places around your home that can tie into the clues. For example, one clue might lead to a cozy blanket, another to a favorite bookshelf, and another to the menorah.
- Add a Personal Touch: Use the blank cards to customize the hunt with your own riddles, jokes, or meaningful messages.
- Switch Up the Spots: Use different hiding spots every year to keep it fresh and exciting!
