How should I set up a treasure hunt for a small group of young children in a classroom?

Question

our classroom is not that big and limited places for the clues/treasure to hide.. only under the table/chair... im teaching directions:north south, etc. so this will be a follow up activity of that lesson.

Answer 1

maybe you should do the treasure hunt like hot and cold.Only with differant words.

Answer 2

Does it have to be in the classroom? Can u not take it outside in the playground or on the field?  Then they could run and move around -gives you more places to hide things!

In classroom-try inside cupboards doors, on ceiling, under pen pots etc...if they are hidden in hard to find places you could always make up clues to help them!

Answer 3

this is how i began my class every day - I would hide the number of the week in the room half in site and half hidden - wall - ceiling - .  The first one to notice it for the day was my line leader for first recess.  I laminated everyone name on  a card and I threw them on the floor for circle time in the beginning of class - as they arrived they had to find there name and place it on my attendance book - When I would ask i any one was not here the name was still on the floor.  This are some the thing I did for my 14 to 16 preschoolers
