How to Play the Candy Cane Hunt Game:

There are two fun ways to play! Choose a traditional candy cane hunt or turn it into a scavenger hunt using the included clue cards.

Traditional Candy Cane Hunt: Kids search for as many hidden candy canes as they can find.
Scavenger Hunt: Use the included clue cards or write your own clues on the blank cards. Have someone read each clue aloud while the kids figure out where to look for the next candy cane.

Tip: For younger kids, skip the competition and let everyone enjoy finding candy canes at their own pace!

How to Play:

Hide the Candy Canes: Hide candy canes around your home, backyard, or party area. Choose easy hiding spots for younger kids and more challenging ones for older players.
Choose Your Game Style: Traditional or Scavenger Hunt
Let the Fun Begin: Gather the kids, explain which version you’re playing, and give the signal to start hunting!
Count the Candy Canes: Kids can mark off their finds on the included candy cane tracker sheet as they play or count their candy canes when the hunt is over. For a little friendly competition, the player who finds the most candy canes wins!
