Who is a Treasure Hunt for?
Teachers
A Treasure Hunt is a great enrichment activity that can be tailor made to fit with the current curriculum. Further, Treasure Hunts are a pure form of collaborative learning and can be delightfully cross-disciplinary. A hunt combines visual learning, auditory learning, kinetics, and tactile opportunities. Most of all, the students will have an opportunity to have fun while learning.
Fundraisers
Treasure Hunts provide the fundraiser with a chance to give back a little something to his/her donors. Combined with an entry fee and a donation match as a treasure, your fundraising goals can be met more quickly, while having a great deal of fun at the same time.
Parties and Events
Spice up your next party or event with a participatory exercise that engages even the most introverted guests. When your invitations include a reference to a Treasure Hunt you are guaranteed more interest and participation.
Communities
Get to know your community and neighbors with a Treasure Hunt! The clues can send the participants to interesting and important places around the community and give businesses an infusion of new customers.
What is the Treasure?
The Treasure can be anything of value, like tickets to an event, gift certificates, or anything that is of interest to the participants. Treasure Hunts can be competitive, with entry fees and the Treasure being the sum of the fees.
