How to Plan a Birthday Treasure Hunt for Kids

Make the birthday child the hero of a personalized adventure. Choose a favorite theme, invite the explorers and decide where the final surprise will be waiting. Prepare six to twelve clues and adapt the reading level to the children. Test the trail yourself, print the cards and use the private guide to hide each next card in order. Keep a few hints ready and include a certificate for the finish. For a group, let children solve clues together and make sure each hiding place is safe and accessible. A grown-up should supervise throughout.
