TREASURE HUNT CLUES

These clues are good for outside/nature hunts when the weather permits. The front of the card
contains the clue and the back of the card contains an exercise to get your children moving
while playing. These are just examples. You can modify them to fit whatever items are available
in your yard or neighborhood park. The answer is where you place your next clue.

You can also modify the exercises based on the ages of the children who are participating in the
