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 another new version of the game, with sixteen additional saints including some of the newly canonized saints at the time. (We actually matched the saints to our All Saints Guessing Jars, which you can find here, so that the children could learn a little more about each of the saints featured.)
In 2022, we decided to skip the huge parish party and go back to hosting a more intimate and cozy party at home and bring back this game. My husband and I created a new edition and I thought it would be fun to share it here on the blog for anyone looking for party inspiration! We’re already working on another one for this year’s party, so stay tuned!
ALL SAINTS SCAVENGER HUNT: FOURTH EDITION
To play the game, pictures of the 17 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.
Now that nearly all the children at our annual parties are older I actually just tape them up on the wall in various places. 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.

*Looks like I missed including St. Francis. You can download that card here.
Note: The printable saint card pictures are different than what we used for the party since we were scrambling at the last minute. We actually printed out product pages from these beautiful holy cards for the party since we ran out of time. I would love to order actual prints or Holy Cards to use in the picture!
