Treasure Hunting is Fun

Hi Parents and Grandparents,

With school out and the whole of the out-of-doors begging to be explored what better way to entertain the kids than by having them hide and find treasure!

Remember hiding the loot and then writing a trail of clues for friends and cousins to follow? I remember digging up a black kettle filled with bubble gum--better than gold! Mom used to throw some great birthday parties. On long summer days we entertained ourselves and treasure hunt was a favorite activity.

For summer parties, when children are anxious to be outside running and playing, the old time treasure hunt is a great choice. We had some wonderful hunts in our childhood days. Little ones enjoy a treasure hunt and you would probably be surprised to find teenagers relish the game too!

Find ideas aplenty for prizes and instructions for preparing and conducting a treasure hunt. Have fun and if you are good maybe the kids will let you play.
