Pirate Treasure Hunt
 |
Your pirate treasure hunt will include:
Also some instructions, footprint markers and some fishing net for holding treasure.
|
What do you do?
It's really simple...set out the 6 treasure marker scenes around the house or garden using the treasure map as a guide and hide the next clue behind each scene.
If you are using the hunt for the children to fill their own party bags (see party bag gifts for ideas), hide treasure in a bowl behind each of the scenes (some can go in the fishing net provided). If you are just having treasure at the END of the hunt then put it in the treasure chest only.
Read the first clue aloud to the children and set them off to find the parrot treasure marker and the next clue. Carry on reading the clues until they get to the treasure chest at the end!
Depending on how hard you hide the markers, the size of the venue and the ages of the children it can take 10-20 mins.
What age is it suitable for?
The ideal age for this treasure hunt is 3-8, but the clues and treats can be adapted to suit children of all ages and parents can read the clues out loud for younger children. Tiny tots can be engaged by pointing to the picture on each clue card, so they can enjoy looking out for the parrot and other treasure markers.
You can write you own clues too if you want to make things more difficult, we've left space on the reverse of the clue cards for you to do this, just cross out those provided with a black marker. You can give children additional clues by shouting ‘warmer/colder’, until they find the treasure.
Suggestions for Clue Markers & Treasure
 |
Clue 1 - Secure the parrot with the peg provided to a tree, washing line or at the top of a curtain. Make up balloon swords and hang them on the branches of a non prickly tree, washing line or curtain pole/track. Tie with string provided in an easy to release bow. |
| Clue 2 - Place the pirate ship on a lawn and stake to the ground with the peg (when used on hard floors open flap on the base to 90 degrees and stabilise with peg). Hide the treats in a shatterproof bowl behind the ship. | |
 |
Clue 3 - Place the Captain on the ground, as in Clue 2. Don’t forget to use the footprint cards to lead children to the Captain. Hide the treats in a shatterproof bowl behind the Captain. |
| Clue 4 - Place the desert island on the ground, as in Clue 2. Hide the treats in a shatterproof bowl behind the island. | |
 |
Clue 5 - Place plastic sea creatures in the net provided and then peg the pirate faces, 20 to 30cm apart, to the branch of a tree, washing line or a drawer handle. Hook the edges of the net over the pegs to hang securely (not too high for unaccompanied children). |
 |
Clue 6 - Erect the treasure chest and fill with the nets of gold coins. When the lid is lifted it reads ‘Hunt Ends Here!’. |
Now enjoy your Pirate Treasure Hunt!!
