Treasure Hunts! Treasure Hunts!: Treasure and Scavenger Hunts to Play with Friends and Family

From School Library Journal Grade 2-6-Clear, friendly prose explains how to prepare and participate in 28 different group activities, including an ice hunt in the snow, an old-fashioned peanut hunt, and a photo safari. Directions note number and age of players, materials needed, and space required. A generous sprinkling of safety concerns, tips, and trivia are additional enhancements, and numerous line drawings, often humorous, illustrate the book. Lists of further reading on actual treasures and children's games and Internet sites are appended. Children will find inspiration here for party activities and chasing away the summer doldrums. Adults will recognize opportunities to practice compass, map reading, and observation skills and will use the book to plan birthday parties or game days-if they can wrench it from the hands of young treasure seekers.
