I was inspired after stumbling on some orienteering resources, so I created this indoor treasure hunt for G1…
After a very brief lesson on how to use a compass…
I handed him a sheet of instructions and sent him on his way to find his treasure…
He had to locate the all the hidden pieces of the secret code, and decode the final secret message to find out how to win his treasure.
I’ll have to plan something more challenging for his next hunt…
My treasure hunt was created based on the spaces available in our home and using our furniture for landmarks. If you want a ready made activity you can use (large outdoor space required), you can download these compass activities created by Boston Geology:
