A Treasure Hunt

This is a wonderful activity that encompasses many learning areas. Obviously children at different levels and ages will require differing amounts of help and guidance.

• Create a map of the area you are having the treasure hunt within. This in itself can be an exercise in measurement and scale or using simple symbols to represent things.
• Hide objects in the treasure area - mark these on the map.

OR

• Write some clues like "Go to the front door." On the front door you have the next clue written - perhaps, "Look in the place where cow juice is found." In the fridge they will find your next clue Eventually your clues will lead them to the treasure.

NEXT

• Ask some friends to "do" your treasure hunt - you might like to write them an invitation.
• Take some photos of your friends doing the treasure hunt.

FINALLY

• Write about your treasure hunt. You could write a recount or a PMI. Add some photos to the writing. You could add some funny speech or thought bubbles.
• Share your writing with someone - you could email it to anna.ashby@stalbans.school and we could share it on this blog.

To add a maths component  you could add measurement ideas to your clues like take 3 paces to the left or walk for about 5 metres etc.

Good luck and have some fun!
