hi there,
Just looking for some advice for my son's upcoming 5th birthday party. Having a party at home for him and I was wondering about doing a treasure hunt in the garden and what the best way to do it would be. Basically, I'm wondering whether it's a recipe for disaster if I let six 4/5-year-olds scramble around looking for gold coins or whatever and one person finds very little or nothing. It might all end in tears. I have some cardboard pirate coasters from a previous party. I was thinking I could hide those, they find them as a team and put them in a box or something, then they all get a prize. They are probably too young for a map (although my son loves looking knowledgeably at maps!) or for following written clues that were read out to them, what do you think? I also saw a paper treasure hunt set with pictures and clues which might be easy for them to follow. I'd love to hear opinions on what other people have done for this age group.
thanks a mill!
