For those weekends when there's nothing to do, we at Kids Club Smilecatch help you put together fun activities to entertain your kids.

1. FUN ACTIVITIES TO DO
WITH CHILDREN

2. Organize a
treasure Hunt
Looking to give your kids an exciting adventure?
What’s more fun and thrilling than a Treasure Hunt? Turn your
home into an desert island and send your kids in an epic voyage!
Did you ever hear your kids saying how bored they
were?
Well, no more mate! Surprise them and show them you can
be creative and exciting.
Learn more about your kids.
Treasure Hunts are great to interact with your kids and get
to know them better.

• Treasure!! (at least some prizes)
• Some pen and paper (give it an old appearance by
burning the corners)

1. Establish a theme
Surprise and delight your kids by choosing a theme related to
their interests.
Archeology, Princesses, Pirates and Ancient Egypt are all great options.
You can also take this chance to teach something such as history,
science or math that can be related to the theme.
2. Write and plan your clues
How many and how difficult will be your clues?
Write as many as you want but not too many so they can stay
engaged in the treasure hunt.
Create interesting clues using word plays and puns. Think about the
age of your children and don’t write clues too difficult

3. Prepare your treasure
If you do not have a chest or a box that fits the theme of the Treasure
Hunt use a cardboard box and paint it at your taste.
Stuff the treasure with small toys, trinkets and candies to
celebrate the successful ending of the adventure!
4. Don’t let your kids see you hiding
the clues
This accident would ruin all the Treasure Hunt so be sure that
you’re not found out!
Plan it and, if necessary, hide the clues while your children are at school.
You can also ask someone to take them on a little walk to
give you time to do it.

6. ThE HUNTING
5. Start the treasure hunt
When everything’s ready you can gather the kids and send
them searching for the treasure.
This is an activity that works best you groups smaller than five
elements. Be certain to explain all the rules and
boundaries before the Treasure Hunts starts.
Encourage them to work together and do some
brainstorming so that everyone can participate.
6. Let them solve the clues
You can accompany them on the Treasure Hunt but do not
solve the clues for them.
Let them be creative and try different approaches. If they’re
stuck too long on a clue give them small hints that they can
decipher be able to move forward in the Treasure Hunt.

7. Watch them succeed
The moment they reach the end of the Treasure Hunt must be
witnessed by you, the mastermind behind it all.
When your children find the treasure be there to cheer, clap
and celebrate their successful endeavor.
Watch their faces as they open the treasure and find all sorts of
nice things just for them.

8. Now what?
Now you get to think about the next Treasure
Hunt!
What will it be? Maybe an trip to space, an adventure to the jungle full of
wild animals or maybe a journey to the center of the earth. Let your
imagination run wild!
Now that you put together your first Treasure Hunt you can save the best
clues to use in some way in future activities of this kind.
Hope you and your kids were able to enjoy
your Treasure Hunt and…
