Suggested Family Activity 🏴☠️🦜
– Arggh!! There could be treasure buried in your backyard! It is super easy to make a Pirate Treasure Hunt for your kids today. Just hide a few small prizes in your backyard or outdoor area for them to find. Or hide things they already have – the main fun in this activity is in the searching, after all, not just getting a reward. Draw a map (as simple or as complicated as you like) for the kids to follow to find the objects. You can make it more of a challenge by giving them clues to figure out along the way. Put in things that are unique to your family, such as “the place where we like to sit outside” or “where the azaleas bloom.” To make your treasure map look authentic, you can pick from several different things to make your map – a brown grocery bag cut apart, thin cardboard from a cereal box, kraft paper, brown paper packing material, or plain white copy paper dyed with tea. Make sure that a big X marks all the spots and stand back to see how fast your children can read your map.
