Emergency Kit Scavenger Hunt
A scavenger hunt that builds the emergency kit while the family plays: torch, water, ORS, power bank, whistle and copies of important documents, with a box to tick as each one is found and packed. Includes a regional add-on box that switches by the hazards in your area — cold, heatwave, flood, earthquake or wildfire.

How to use this with your child
Hide the items around the house first — children remember what they have hunted for.
- Let each child be responsible for one item and its exact place in the bag.
- Test the torch and charge the power bank on the first Sunday of the month.
- Write the next check date on the bag, so nobody has to hold it in their head.
Regional add-on box (switches by your local hazards)
- Cold / winter storm: warm blanket, hats, gloves.
- Heatwave: extra water, oral rehydration salts, sun hat.
- Flood / monsoon / cyclone: waterproof bag for papers, rain gear.
- Earthquake: sturdy shoes, gloves.
- Wildfire / bushfire: face masks, cotton clothes.
Goes well with: the Family Media Agreement for your child's age (5–7, 8–10, 11–13) — promises the child makes, and promises the grown-ups make back.
Print tips
- Print at 100% scale — not “fit to page”, so the sizes stay true.
- Cards print best on thicker paper; laminate them for a school bag or wallet.
- The ink-saver version is outlines only, so children can colour it in themselves.
- Keep one copy on the fridge and one where the family already looks every day.
