Book Reviews of Every Kid Needs a Treasure Hunt
Book Review: Creativity and Imagination
Summary: 5 Stars
Every Kid Needs a Treasure Hunt contains everything you need for a treasure hunt, including a treasure chest, location cards and a small treasure coin. The treasure chest is large enough to contain more treasure and you can add things like jewelry or maybe even a favorite candy or small gift.
I'm sure you remember this game from childhood or even extravagant treasure hunt games at parties and summer camp. This game has never lost its magic and this book makes the game even more interesting with ideas about GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) receivers.
To make this game more fun, have a person who is not playing the game hide the cards. Some of the cards have actions on them to make the game more challenging. Participants may have to hop or crawl to the next clue. Treasure maps can also be drawn out and there are "map papers" at the end of the book.
An intriguing section on "Time Capsules" is included and who knew there were more than 8,500 satellites orbiting the earth.
Warning: This game is not for children under 3 years old. (I assume it is because of the coins.)
You might also want to look for: Every Kid Needs Mod Podge - a decoupage craft project that is even fun for adults! Both books will encourage family time or give children a fun way to enhance their creativity on their own. The books are easy to understand and the instructions are easy to follow. Perfect as gifts or could be used for a birthday party game.
