Christmas Lights Secret Code Scavenger Hunt (Free Printable)

One of my fondest memories of Christmas as a child is driving around on Christmas Eve to look at all the lights. If you know me or you've been reading here for a while, you know that I am almost totally blind. With the little vision I do have, I can see light and color which makes Christmas light displays perfect for me. I used to love pressing my face against the car windows to look out. There was even a house near where I lived that had a huge walk-through lights display. Cars would be parked along the roadside, and families would walk through paths of lights all over the yard. It was my absolute favorite thing at Christmas time! Many of those same lights are now featured at part of the decorations at our local park, and I can take my own kids to see them. It's a tradition I intend to continue as long as possible. This year, we couldn't wait until Christmas Eve so we did our annual Christmas light drive last weekend. To make things even more fun, we used this scavenger hunt from Layers of Learning. Boo enjoyed searching for everything on the list. We found all but one, and luckily, some face book friends gave us a hint on where to go to finish the hunt. It was great fun! For next year, though, I wanted to do something just a little different. I decided to add a little reward at the end of the search. So I created a secret code scavenger hunt. When you find everything on the list, the code says, "Look under the tree." I'll have to make sure to be a little sneaky and put a small gift under the tree before we leave. I think this will add one more element of fun and excitement, and besides, I love presents.
