A Treasure Hunt is a series of written clues that lead to a treasure. This treasure can be any object, which will be hidden somewhere in your house or wherever you are going to play. 

It’s a great opportunity to engage our children in reading and writing, and to develop confidence in creating and playing with languages.

In this video, we talk about: 
  • How to play Treasure Hunt
  • How to support the writing process by using a template
  • How this activity can benefit our children’s spelling and writing skills
  • How this activity builds confidence 
  • Different ways to play with
          Young children
          Beginning or emergent writers
          More confident writers
          Teenagers
  • Going beyond the template and being creative

Have you played Treasure Hunt with your children? 
Will you try a different way to play?
