Treasure Hunt for Any Age

I have done this with kids of all ages and they all love it. The older kids like to help the younger kids. I write clues on small pieces of paper. I also line the kids up by age and they each take a turn figuring out and finding the clue, but they all go together to find each one. The clues can be simple for little kids, i.e. look in the place where mommy gives you a bath. Depending on the number of kids I will write 10-20 clues. I also like to make them move around the house. For example each clue is in a different area or on a different floor of the house. The treasure is usually small squares of rice crispy treats or a small snack. It is great fun and a great way to wear out a busy group or small bored group of kids.
