Autumn Scavenger Hunt

There's a free printable autumn scavenger hunt running across Coventry on Wednesday 28 October, Thursday 29 October and Friday 30 October. It's a simple, low-pressure way to get out and look at the city during the half-term break, and because it's a printable, you can take it at your own pace whenever you fancy.

The format is straightforward: you download the activity as a PDF, print it off, and then head out to find the things on the list. It's designed to get you noticing the small, seasonal changes that usually go overlooked — the kind of things you only spot when you're actually looking for them. Since it's a scavenger hunt, the whole point is to keep your eyes open as you walk, ticking things off as you go. It works just as well on a quick stroll around your own neighbourhood as it does on a longer wander through one of the city's parks.

Because it's a printable, it's a good one for families with kids who need to burn off some energy while the weather turns, but it works just as well if you're on your own and want a reason to get outside. You don't need to commit to a specific time or place, so you can fit it in whenever suits you over the three days. If you're out with children, it's a handy way to keep them focused on the walk rather than just the destination, and it gives them something to actively hunt for along the way.

It's a free printable PDF activity, so there's nothing to book and nothing to pay — you just download it and you're set. It runs on Wednesday 28 October, Thursday 29 October and Friday 30 October, giving you three days to get it done.
