Congratulate him and move on. If the kids are on the younger end, give out participation awards.

What if each group has an age range from 2-12?

Make sure every team has a mix of older kids and younger kids, and make sure the older kids know that they have to let the younger kids have a turn at leading, solving clues, etc.

Question

Do I have to give the first clue when the game starts?

Community Answer

You can, or you can hide it instead. If you are hiding it, stay close by and tell them to search for it.

Question

How many clues should I keep in each place if all the kids are participating separately?

Community Answer

No matter how many people there are, you should have one clue for each person at each clue spot. Otherwise, the kids will feel left out.

How can you do the hunt inside with a dog around?

Question

What if a child gets left out when he or she is in the team?

Community Answer

If you know that children can get left out of a game, then make a rule for making the game more sporty, like adding some minutes to their total time or making the team statues for few minutes, so that the team building and team importance can be pass through them. If in the case that a child left, you can add him to distract other teams or to help the team without talking just by using gestures.

Question

I put an 11-year-old in charge of an 8-year-old's party, can I trust her?

Community Answer

If you think she is responsible enough, sure. Maybe just ask her some questions about what she's planning on doing, and if it sounds like she's got a good handle on it, let her do it.

Question

How can I make a treasure hunt for a toddler or a preschooler?

Community Answer

Try picture clues. Also, check first to see if they understand the concept of the hunt. Help them along the way, and give them an award when done.
