How to Write Good Scavenger Hunt Clues for Kids
Though low-budget and easy to execute, treasure hunts take a little planning. Below, we’ve outlined a few tips on how to put together the perfect set of clues for kids.
Stick to Safe Items
Stick to things that are easy to access and appropriate for kids. Remember, this activity is meant to make your life easier—not more complicated. Set yourself up for success by outlining things that are kid-friendly and parent-approved.
Be Clever With Their Descriptions
Using those creative writing skills will make the game that much more engaging for kids. Again, the clues are a big part of the game. The more ambiguous, the longer it will take them to figure it out. A few clever quips can also attract laughs, which will only reel kids in even further.
Use Rhyming Words
Short, simple, repetitive, and rhyming clues are easy for kids to understand. These types of sounds are especially beneficial for young kids, who are still developing their literacy and communication skills.
Sprinkle in Some Pizazz
Try to think of a few ways to help your scavenger hunt to stand out from the rest. Whether that means bedazzling the physical clues, or decorating each item on the list, it’s up to you to decide.
Types of Scavenger Hunts
Indoor Hunt: A scavenger hunt consisting of only household items. To keep things more contained, you can limit the game to a specific area of the house. Backyard Hunt: A scavenger hunt that takes place in a contained area outside. All clues should refer to items that are regularly kept outside or natural objects. Photo Treasure Hunt: A spin on the traditional scavenger hunt where all participants must submit their answers in picture form. These games have become increasingly popular as smart technology becomes more popular among (and accessible to) children. Themed Hunt: A scavenger hunt designed to honor a specific person, place, or concept. Holidays are a particularly popular theme since there are so many items already associated with these celebrations.
