Hide & Seek Multi-Activity Worksheet

Looking for a fun, no-prep worksheet that mixes puzzles, drawing, and imagination? This Hide & Seek Multi-Activity Worksheet is perfect for kids aged about 5-8. It combines a maze, word search, drawing prompts, and more to keep young learners engaged and excited.

What’s Inside

Here’s what your child (or students) will do with this worksheet:

• Maze challenge: Navigate through the maze—helps with focus, logic, and fine motor control.

• Word search: Find words like HIDE, SEEK, FOUND, GAME, SEARCH, WIN, LOST — great for vocabulary, spelling, and scanning skills.

• Draw your hiding spot: Encourages creativity, imagination, and drawing skills.

• Flashlight prompt: “What can your flashlight find?” — a prompt for observational thinking and creative writing or drawing.

Why It’s Useful

• Engagement: Variety keeps kids interested; switching between puzzle, drawing, and thinking tasks prevents boredom.

• Literacy & vocabulary: Word search fosters recognition of “hide & seek”-related words; helps with spelling and reading.

• Problem solving & critical thinking: The maze and flashlight prompt encourage planning and imagining different possibilities.

• Fine motor practice: Tracing maze paths, writing/searching letters, drawing.

• Low prep: Teachers or parents can print and use immediately; minimal materials needed (paper, pencil, crayons).

How To Use It

1. Print one copy per child (or one for small group).

2. Introduce the theme: Talk about games like hide & seek, hiding spots, what you might find with a flashlight — to build excitement.

3. Start with the maze, then do the word search while sitting down, calmer work.

4. Follow with creative drawing: Draw a hiding spot, then use flashlight prompt: “What would you see if you shone your flashlight there?”

5. Share & reflect: If with a class or at home, have kids show their hiding spot and talk about why they chose it. What would their flashlight show? What words in the word search were tricky?

6. Optional extension: Turn the flashlight prompt into a short writing activity: write a few sentences (or a story) about sneaking through places at night with a flashlight.

Thanks for using this worksheet — have fun hiding, seeking, drawing, and exploring with your little adventurers!
