    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.

    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.
