HALLOWEEN TREASURE HUNT GAME

A Treasure Hunt game that we created last year for a Halloween party became an instant hit and has been requested again this year. Adapt the clues for any age group.

STEP 1: Make 9 rhyming clues and 1 treasure map on paper and place them around the yard. / Escribe 9 pistas con rima y dibuja un mapoa del tesoro; colocalos por todo el jardín o la casa.

STEP 2: Hand the kids Clue #1 and it should lead them to Clue #2 and then Clue #3 and so on. Clue #9 led them to the treasure map. / Comienza dando la pista 1 y esta les conducirá a la segunda y así hasta la última que les guiará hasta el mapa del tesoro.

STEP 3 : They had to find the treasure based on the map drawing and "X" marks the spot! Hide the treasure chest somewhere inside or outside where they can find it, but don’t make it to easy. The treasure can be a cardboard treasure chest filled to the rim with Oriental Trading novelty toys (you can make whatever you want) for Halloween and some candy. / El mapa debe contener una X que será el lugar donde está escondido el tesoro. El cofre del tesoro no debe ser muy fácil de encontrar. Podemos utilizar, caramelos, dulces, para rellenar el tesoro, o lo que queramos!

Here are my clues, but make your own clues to work with your "hunting" area. (My explanatory notes are in parentheses.) / Aquí tenéis unas rimas con pistas de ejemplo, pero debéis crear las vuestras propias para adaptarlas a vuestro entorno.
