Make Children’s Day fun with this Treasure Hunt game for kids

See the little explorers crack clues and win prizes

Do you have Sherlock Holmes Jr. or a little Dora - the Explorer at home? Then it’s time to make Children’s Day fun for them with this Treasure Hunt game. Here’s how you can curate one for the little one at home and their friends:

1. Choose a selection of items to hide, such as small gifts or objects. You can include a grand final prize as the ultimate treasure.

2. Write a factoid about each item or a clue on small chits. If you are good with rhyming words, then use little rhymes to make it fun.

3. Place the clue for the next item with each hidden object, leading the children from one clue to the next until they find the grand prize.

4. Select a nearby park to hide the items out of sight but within reach. Alternatively, you can set up the game at home.

5. Start the game by handing out the first clue and set them off. To make it even more exciting, provide hints by telling them if they are ‘near’ or ‘far’ from the next clue or treasure.
