For example, you could buy a pack of cheap eye patches and plastic swords and call it a hunt for pirate's booty. Themes are good excuses to get everyone in costume, which can make it much more 'realistic' for many children.Of course, there is also nothing wrong with a classic treasure hunt with clues and maps, either! The most amazing hunts usually have some common thread throughout them - whether it is a theme, like The Hobbit, or a format, like a cooking hunt where each clue leads to an ingredient or recipe. There’s a lot more to a treasure hunt than sending a bunch of kids off willy-nilly. Decide on a format or theme for your treasure hunt.
