22. Treasure hunt<br />

Reason for activity<br />

To teach children to follow clues and<br />

instructions to overcome a challenge.<br />

Time needed<br />

20+ mins<br />

What you will need<br />

• Shoe box<br />

• Digital camera<br />

• Old magazines<br />

• Scissors<br />

• Glue<br />

What to do<br />

1. Turn a shoe box into a treasure box by covering it with stickers and cut outs from<br />

old magazines. Fill up the treasure box with different tiny treasures like polished rocks,<br />

beads, chocolate gold coin, balloons, old watches, pictures, special pen and any other<br />

small treasure you can think of.<br />

2. Take a picture of the items in the box, making sure each item is visible. Then hide the<br />

items in different places in your house.<br />

3. Get everyone involved in the hunt together and show them the picture you took<br />

earlier. Send everyone to search for the items and return them to the treasure box. You<br />

can give clues with the aid of a simple treasure map to mark specific areas to search.<br />

Tips<br />

Vary the location of your treasure hunt. Use outdoors if the<br />

weather permits.<br />

Put away breakable or sharp objects out of reach. Don’t make<br />

each item too hard to fi nd. Give your child prompts such as,<br />

“I think it might be over there!”<br />

Time the treasure hunt to make it more fun and provide pace.<br />
