I am thinking about having a treasure hunt for DD8's 9th birthday. I have already picked a spot where to bury the "treasure chest" but need ideas what to put in it.
DD8 will get to invite three friends. The girls will be about 8-9 years old. I plan to bury the can a couple of weeks before her birthday so the spot will not be so obvious (It's in our back yard). The can is round, 5"x6", and water and bug tight (I hope...).
I already have some ideas for my clues. One will be a riddle leading to a book (on DD8's bookshelf), followed by number like 7/12 (meaning page 7, 12th word). Is that to difficult for 9-year-olds to figure out? I'd also like to figure out some other activities the girls need to complete to find the next clue. Any ideas for that?
I also printed out their treasure map and clue cards.
