Question

Can this be used for little kids?

Community Answer

Yes, it can. As long as an adult assists them, things should be fine. I've done this before for my 5-year-old neighbor and her 2-year-old sister while babysitting.

Question

How can I make more creative clues? Because I seem to write the same clues over and over again and so the indoor treasure hunt experience gets a little boring. So are there any ideas?

Community Answer

You could make clues that only a certain person would be able to answer, just make sure that you have a clue for that object hidden somewhere else so that people can find that one too. You could also use a clue such as: Eleanor's favorite food if you are playing with a group of close friends. Use lots of sensory details, such as color, smell, and touch.

Question

Can we do it as secret?

Community Answer

Sure. This makes it fun especially for kids. It can also make suspense, which is great for treasure hunts. It is a great idea.

Question

Do you have ideas for doing it on science themes?

Community Answer

For different grades, use different items. For example, if your teaching a bunch of nine year olds, try referring to the unit of "acidic and alkaline," try asking them to find items such as acidic type (lemons, coffee, etc.) base (salt , water, etc.) and alkaline (soap , shampoo, etc.). For lower grades like preschool, ask them to find parts of a plant. But, it mostly depends on what grade the children are at.

Question

Do you have to dress up like a pirate for a treasure hunt or not?

Community Answer

It depends on what theme you choose. If you decide on a pirate theme, then sure. But otherwise it isn’t mandatory.
