Father’s Day is a time to celebrate your dad or the dad figure in your life. It’s about family, love, but most of all, fun. So while you could (and should) give the important dad in your life a card to commemorate the day, you might also want to put together a fun activity (like a scavenger hunt) for Dad to fill his day with laughs and memories. If you’re looking to put some fun into Father’s Day, then these Father’s Day scavenger hunt clues will do just that.

The cool thing about the Father’s Day-themed scavenger hunt is that you can really customize it for your cool dad. You can make it as short (or as long) as you want, with clue upon clue leading your dad to a different place each time. Ultimately, the scavenger hunt could end with a card and a present, or breakfast in bed surrounded by his babies. Or it could just be fun to watch Dad (and the kids) run around the house trying to find out where the next clue might lead.

And that’s really the point of a Father’s Day scavenger hunt. It’s yet another bonding moment for the family, sure to evoke a lot of laughter and silliness as Dad chases after these clues. Most of all, the effort involved in the hunt will show Dad just how darling and dear he is to his family.
