Rainy day treasure hunt

Rain drumming on the window and no way to go out? Time for a cozy indoor treasure hunt. The clues lead past coats, blankets and board games, and end under a warm bed.

🎂 Ages 4-9🧩 8 rhyming clues🎁 Treasure at the end

Before you start

  • Print the clues, fold each one, and hide it in the spot the clue before it points to. Hand the first clue to the kids to start.
  • Get hot cocoa ready ahead of time (a grown-up makes it!) to celebrate finding the treasure.
  • On rainy days the floor by the front door can be wet, so wipe it before you start.

Frequently asked questions

How can I make a rainy day hunt last longer?

Add a small task at each clue, like doing ten jumping jacks or drawing a rain cloud, before the kids may read the next one.

Does this work in a small apartment?

Yes. Every spot is something most homes have, and the whole hunt fits in two or three rooms.
