Scavenger Hunt Clues By: Sheena Perron of http://littleldsideas.blogspot.com Now we re going to talk about the Scavenger Hunt Clues. I have included the clues that will be used in this activity. All you need to do is Print them out (a set for each team) and then put each clue inside of something. You can use envelopes; that is probably the easiest. If you can find different colored envelopes to match your team colors that would work really well. Or use white envelopes, and label each envelope: i.e.- Blue Team Clue #1, Blue Team Clue #2, Red Team Clue #1 etc. When we did this activity, I got a piece of cardstock (the color of each team), placed the clue in the middle of the cardstock, and then folded the bottom flap up and the top flap down. Then I taped/put a sticker, to keep the clues closed. Here s an example. fold fold Clue Then on the outside write: Clue #1, Clue #2, etc. I have included a chart below, to make the task of putting the Clues together, a little easier. So, the children will be completing 13 missions (puzzles, games, etc.) The chart below shows you what each Team s Mission is by telling you what AoF they will be working on and in what room it is located. In my first document, (the Scavenger Hunt Instructions), I included a Chart. I had you write down the room number where each Article of Faith puzzle/game would be located. Using that chart, fill in the room numbers in the chart below (You don t really need the room number for the construction of the Scavenger Hunt Clues, but it will come in handy in just a little bit, just keep reading, you ll see what I m talking about.) - So, whatever room you have listed for Article of Faith #12 on your Chart, write that same room number in each team s Number Column, etc. etc. Chart #1 Clue/Mission # Blue Team Red Team Green Team Orange Team 1 AoF #1 Primary AoF #1 Primary AoF #1 Primary AoF #1 Primary 2 AoF #12 AoF #4 3 AoF #3 AoF #10 AoF #5 AoF #9 AoF #6 Bishop s Door AoF #4 4 AoF #6 AoF #2 AoF #7 AoF #11 Chapel 5 AoF #4 AoF #8 AoF #6 AoF #5 6 AoF #7 AoF #3 AoF #2 AoF #8 7 AoF #10 AoF #9 AoF #11 Chapel AoF #3 8 AoF #2 AoF #5 Bishop s AoF #8 AoF #9 9 AoF #11 Chapel AoF #12 AoF #10 AoF #7 10 AoF #9 AoF #6 AoF #4 AoF #12 11 AoF #8 AoF #11 Chapel AoF #12 AoF #2 12 AoF #5 Bishop s AoF #7 AoF #3 AoF #10 13 AoF #13 AoF #13 AoF #13 AoF #13 Bishop s Door http://littleldsideas.blogspot.com
Alright, so you have your chart filled out. Now you can go ahead and print and cut out your clues. I would start with one team, print and cut each clue. Then put all of their clues in order (using the above chart); then place each clue in an envelope, and then label each envelope with it s Clue #. Let s use the Blue Team as an example. Print and cut out all of the Blue team s clues. Start with their first clue (AoF #1), place it into the envelope and write: Clue #1 on the outside. Then get the 2 nd clue (AoF #12), place it in the envelope and write: Clue #2 on the outside, etc. etc. Along with the clues, I have also included a Clue Key, this has each clue sorted by the Article of Faith Number. Just in case you cut out all of your clues, and then realize, you don t know which is which. Set-Up of Scavenger Hunt Clues: Alright, so you have all of your Clues put together and are in envelopes. It s the day of the activity and it s time to place the clues in the rooms. This is where I messed up. I didn t have any type of chart telling me where each clue went or anything. I was completely lost! I know we ve used a lot of charts, but I promise they will help in the long run! The day of the activity, the only charts you will need will be your Chart and your Clue Placement Chart. So, let s talk about setting up the clues. Like in all scavenger hunts the clues are always one step ahead. For example: Clue #1 is given to each team in the gym (or wherever you begin your activity), although Clue #1 goes with Article of Faith #1 (which is located in the Primary ). You don t want to put Clue #1 in the Primary, because if it s in there, no one will know where to go first right? Hope that makes sense. So, for this chart we are going to be writing down the rooms that the clues will go in. This is the same chart as above, but without the Article of Faith column. You are going to write down all of your room numbers from above. Don t pay attention to the Mission number, just write down your room numbers in the same order as above. Then on the day of the activity you will be able to use this chart to help you place all of your clues in the correct rooms. Example: Blue Team Clue #2 will go in the Primary, Clue #3 will go in the room number that you have written down, etc., etc. (Chart is Below) If you want to make it really easy you could always type up all of your rooms, and then underneath each room, write what clues will go in that room. Here s an example: Chapel Blue Team Clue # 6 Blue Team Clue #10 Red Team Clue # 3 Red Team Clue #12 Green Team Clue #11 Green Team Clue #8 Orange Team Clue # 4 Orange Team Clue #5
Clue Placement Chart Clue/Mission # #1 Given in Given in Given in Given in Gym Gym Gym Gym 2 Primary Primary Primary Primary 3 4 Bishop s Door 5 Chapel 6 7 8 Chapel 9 Bishop s 10 Chapel 11 12 Chapel 13 Bishop s Bishop s Door Gym Gym Gym Gym Where to leave each clue: If you have a person in each room, you could give them the clues to hand out to each team once they finish the mission OR in each room tape/attach the clues to a wall (or you could set them on a small table) where the children can see them. Once they have finished their mission, they go and find their team s clue, take it off the wall and read it.
Below are the clues that you will use for this activity. Instead of typing up each team s clues, I have typed up each team s first clue (because I had to change a word for each team) and then I typed up the other 12 clues. Print each of the team s first clues and put them inside of an envelope and label it Blue Team Clue # 1, Red Team Clue # 1, etc. Then print each of the 12 clues 4 times (one for each team). Use the chart from before (Chart #1) to help you know the order of clues for each team. For example: The Blue team s 2 nd mission is the clue for AoF #12 and the 3 rd mission for the blue team is the clue for AoF #3, the 4 th mission is the clue for AoF #6. When cutting out your clues, be sure not to include what Article of Faith number it is. I labeled each one just as a help to you. I have also included a Clue Key. After cutting each clue, you may not know which clue goes to which Article of Faith, use the Key to help with that. Blue Team Mission 1 Go to the primary room. There you will find some Blue balloons.
