Why use a Christmas scavenger hunt wheel

Thirty Christmas things to find are on the wheel, and each one turns up in a house, a classroom or a yard. Spin, everyone races to bring back or point to something that fits, and the first one back spins next. Below are sets for indoors, outdoors and class.

Hunt around the house while dinner cooks
Spin a thing to find, and the first one back with it spins next. Keep the tally on the fridge.
Run a hunt in the classroom before the break
Put the wheel on the board and let table groups race to show something that fits. The classroom set keeps everyone in the room.
Send teams racing at the Christmas party
Split guests into teams, spin one thing at a time, and give a point to the first team to bring it back.
Turn a winter walk into a hunt
Pick the outdoor set before you leave and spin whenever the kids slow down. Stay together and spot plants rather than pick them.

This wheel wears the Jingle Wheels theme: christmas only: candy canes, fairy lights and snow. Your own copy keeps it, or pick another wheel theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find more Christmas scavenger hunt ideas?

We keep lists for home, outdoors, class, parties, toddlers and teens, riddle clues with their answers, and how to set up a hunt.

How do you play a Christmas scavenger hunt with the wheel?

Spin and read out what to find. Everyone has a minute to bring back or point to something that fits, and the first one back scores and spins next.

Is it fine for young children?

Yes. Agree on the rooms or the yard first, keep a grown-up nearby outdoors, and leave anything that belongs to someone else where it is: pointing to it counts.

Can I add my own things to find?

Yes. Click “Create your own scavenger hunt picker” and type your own, such as things only your family would know.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Every entry has a slice of the same size, and where the wheel stops is picked with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so nobody can predict or rig the result.

Can I change the entries on this wheel?

Yes. Click “Create your own scavenger hunt picker” to save your own copy. You can then add, remove or rename entries, change the theme and spin settings, and share or embed your wheel.
