Lucky Shamrock Treasure Hunt
Now that we are homeschooling and confined to our house, we are in desperate need of fun learning activities for the kids! That's why we created this LUCKY SHAMROCK TREASURE HUNT.
It's time to get creative!
Jason was inspired last night and decided to create a St. Patrick's Day Treasure hunt. He literally JUST created it.
It is a treasure hunt that does NOT require a Blimey Box Locking Game Kit and it keeps kids busy, having fun, and learning for about 40 minutes.

Here is the Introduction clue that you give to your child. They must figure out where the first clue is hidden based on this clue.
Clue #1 is hidden by a toothbrush. This gives a hint to where the next clue is hidden.
Clue #2 is on a tree. Inside the bag are letters to put in order to find out where the next clue is hidden.
Clue #3 is hidden in the kitchen. Kids must decode the puzzle to find the next clue.
Once it is solved, kids know that they must go and look for the next clue in the bedroom.
Clue #4 is hidden in the bedroom. Kids work on some math skills to find the next message.
Kids solve it to find out that leprechauns like to take baths!
Clue #5 can be found in the shower. Kids must put all the shamrock clues in the correct order to reveal where the final treasure is hidden.
Once they figure out the clue, kids will be on a mission looking under chairs!
Our final treasure was a show and a piece of candy. A lot of work for our son, but he had a lot of fun!
We are all about making learning fun for kids.
