First of all, you should choose a theme (dinosaurs, Disney princesses, ancient Greece, etc.) and a variety of prizes for both teams. After that, find a playground or a park where you can hide all the treasures and plan clues.
Indeed, the preparation process might take a while. That’s why Treasure Hunt is a great idea for a special occasion, like your kid’s birthday.
Marbles
Marbles is a classic game. To play this game, your kids need some chalk and a bunch of marbles. At first, you should set up a game by drawing one circle on the pavement and choosing a shooter marble.
After that, put around ten marbles inside the circle and decide if you want to play for keeps or not. The best thing is that there are a lot of different ways of how you can play Marbles. Encourage your kids to try a couple of them so that they can choose their favourite one.
