We're surprising with a scavenger hunt for a 5 year old... I'd love to hear your clues!
Some of these might be a bit too mature for a 5 year old, so you might have to tweak them, but they are a good starting point. I got some pieces from a website, so they aren't all original, but I altered the snot out of them. I laminated each clue and attached a letter to each for them to unscramble. The letters said: Go to the dining room
1. Shower: Its dry outside, but its raining in here. Dont wear your poncho, cause that would be queer.
2. Light in bedroom: God created this and saw that it was good. You dont like to put me out, even though you should.
3. Shoes: For use outside, but not really indoors. You wont fit in mine, so only wear yours.
4. Mirror: Look at me and I will look back at you. When I look at you, you look at me too.
5. Washer: When I got here I was dirty, but now Im all clean. My head is spinning from the place I have been.
6. Harry Potter Book: Youll find clue #7 hasnt gone far. He is visiting a boy that has a strange scar.
7. Potatoes in closet: Although I have eyes, still I cant see. If you are hungry, please dont eat me.
8. Carpet: Static Electricity produces shocks, when you walk on me whilst wearing your socks.
9. Computer: I am smarter than you, or so I have heard. But when I get sick, Im not worth a turd.
10.
This one is a bit strange but it was meant to gross out my teenagers, and it worked! Master bed: #11 is where the magic happens, but dont say EW. First two people fell in love, and then came you.
This is where they had to go outside and my hubby was changing out the countdown calendars with the earlier dates.
11. Clothesline: Help! Ive been hung out to dry. They didnt give a reason. They didnt tell me why!
12. Stairs in barn-
We only have stairs in our barn b/c we live in a ranch.: Higher and higher we climb to the top, but sooner or later, we both have to stop.
13. Lawnmower: Ill cut you down if you stand tall. It wont bother me none, no not at all.
14. Shovel: Over and over you slam me in the dirt, but dont worry for me, cause it doesnt hurt.
15. Swings: Ill take you high, Ill take you low. We can go fast, or we can go slow. Go too high and youll feel a bump. It will be fine, just please dont jump!
16. Fence lock: I keep you in and other things out, but only if you lock me, there is no doubt.
17. Bike: Round and round clue #13 goes, when hell stop, nobody knows. Dont leave him out when the rain comes down, cuz if you do, he will turn brown!
18. Unscramble your letters and meet me here. You wont have to go far, for I am very near. Youve found all your clues, so here is one more: Go to the place where youll find there are legs, but no feet on the floor. Something is different. Something is new. Who will figure it out? Will it be you?
So when the kids figured out the meeting place was the dining room, and we went there, I asked them: "So what is different in here?". My son responded ON VIDEO: "It's clean!" Little punk. Anyway, I have great video of them discovering the calendar changes and freaking out and crying!
