All Saints Scavenger Hunt – Fifth Edition

by | Nov 7, 2024 | All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day, Party Games, Printables | 0 comments

Back in 2012, my husband and I created an All Saints Scavenger Hunt {Printable Party Game!} for our annual All Saints Party. The following year we created a second version featuring sixteen additional saints with new clues. In 2015, we came up with a third version of the game, with sixteen additional saints including some of the newly canonized saints at the time. In 2022, we decided to skip the huge parish party and go back to hosting a small party at home and came up with a fourth edition .

For this year’s party I decided to order the beautiful Saint Polaroids from January Jane and put together a new All Saints Scavenger Hunt to go along with them. I ended up ordering the first 3 Editions of the Heirloom Saint Polaroids plus a Custom Polaroid Saint Pack with 9 more that I hand picked. I’ll probably eventually go back and order more, but this is plenty for at least a couple years!

This year we used the 1st Edition plus St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, Bl. Miguel Pro, and two Holy Couples: Franz and Fanny Jägerstätter and Louis and Zelie.

All Saints Scavenger Hunt: Fifth Edition

“Holiness consists simply in doing God’s will, and being just what God wants us to be.” – Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

Original Game Instuctions:

To play the game, pictures of the 16 featured saints are handed out to some of the adults, along with the details if they aren’t familiar with the saint. You can see some pictures of the first version of the game being played here.

The children each receive the list of clues. Sometimes we pair the younger children with the older children to form teams of two. The children need to match each clue to the correct saint. Once the child thinks he knows who it is, he will ask the person representing (holding the picture of) the saint. If he is correct the “saint” signs the line next to the correct clue on his child’s clue sheet. 

How We Played It This Year:

Now that nearly all the children at our annual parties are older I just hang the saint pictures on the wall. If they are struggling I will sometimes give a clue to the whole group. Afterwards we see who (or which team) got the most correct. This year I hung my daughter’s fairy lights (similar to these) from her college dorm room and clipped the saint images to them. It looked so pretty!

I also typed up a name tag/label for each saint with their full names to go along with the first names on the polaroids for our game. You can download that here if you’d like to use it too.

This year I ordered Saint Polaroids from January Jane for our fifth All Saints Scavenger Hunt! So excited. I also ended up ordering the beautiful new Humans of Heaven book and a mug for my mom! If you’d like to place an order you can save 10% with coupon code: LXZ-NTU27UL or by clicking this link.

Note: I ended up using January Jane’s 1ST EDITION Saint Polaroids and adding four more from a Custom Pack I put together. (For this game I added: St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, Bl. Miguel Agustin Pro Juarez. As well as two of the Married Couples Louis and Zelie Martin and Franz and Fanny Jägerstätter.) I also ordered the 2ND and 3RD EDITIONS and a few more in that Custom Pack to use in the future. (Those 5 more I ordered in the Custom Pack were the rest of the Holy Couples – Karl and Zita of Austria, Gianna and Pietro Molla, Chiara and Enrico – as well as a couple duplicates I wanted to use for gifts. I’ll need to order six more if I want to come up with two more games using the Saint Polaroids that include 16 saints each. We’ll see!)

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
