This fun and super easy to prepare game is great for all ages.
Children as young as three to four years old can enjoy it. Get ready to hear the giggles when they find a toothbrush in their briefcase or a lego in the vegetable bin!!
Start with handing the children any item and have them return it to the proper place where they will they find the next misplaced item. Children continue following the clues until they discover their “treasure”.
The treasure can be any present, prize, privilege…. You can even use this idea to present a Chanukah, birthday gift…..
