Need to organise a treasure hunt for Dd's 10th birthday party How do I do it?

[sorrel]

I have a garden- not that big, a little wooden box with chocolate coins in it-ie THE TREASURE! Haven't a clue about what to do though- clues /teams/etc.
Can any one help!

I would do it all together but try & dish out the clues evenly. Let them run off to find the clue but then they should hand it to you & you can either read out the next clue or give them out in turn so they can take it in turns reading them out. That way one person doesn't take over the hunt !

have fun !
(I would love to be a kids party organiser !)

hi all. our treasure hunt went really well on saturday. We had a blue team and a red team and i gave them each 5 different clues- one leading on to another. both teams got the same last clue leading to the treasure. Thanks for all the wonderous clues written by team Mumsnet. great success.

Glad all went well.
I'm just trawling the internet to find pirate party supplies for our party

oh whizz i found some lovely pirate stuff for my neice in May will find a link;
pirate stuff
and even more pirate stuff
I like the treasure chest pinata!

ooh and here

Yes I trawled through all of those before settling on Partydelights.co.uk & ordering from there BUT then this morning DH went to Tesco & they have loads of cheaper stuff !!!Grrrrr

Plastic cutlasses 65p !!

oh might go and have a look then! tesco eh? well I never! how old is your birthday person?

Its not a brithday party - just a summer party in the garden (hopefully). If it rains on Sat, we will postpone until next week.

But yes, Tesco is much cheaper than online
ours had pirate cutlasses, bunting, cups, plates, table covers, napkins, eye patches, map game & balloons !

worth a look then! any one know where i can buy chocolate coins???????????????????????????

hi dq i bought minehere
But neede about 6 bags of them as only about 10 coins in each.
Silly isn't it- you can get them evrywhere coming up to Xmas.

I struck lucky in Woolies today - they were selling off coins - I assume ex valentines ones for 39p a bag. However they were red & silver & some had hearts on.

everyone knows that just what pirate dubloons look like
