For my last anniversary, I set up a treasure hunt game for my boyfriend. I left presents all over the town where we met, and each present had a clue to where the next one was. I was waiting at the end with his real present- a weekend trip to Gatlinburg. It was so much fun, and I know it meant a lot to him. You can play a variant of this same game at home, with your partner, or with your kids. Kids will love solving the clues and finding little toys and treats everywhere. Check out this post by Catherine Holecko at Family Fitness for tips:
-Pick a prize and find a place to hide it
-Write out your clues. Draw pictures for younger players, write out riddles and math problems to challenge older kids.
-Hide your clues- make it challenging, but not enough to end up in frustration.
-Hand over the first clue and set the wheels in motion!
