Treasure Hunt Game Night Fun For All Ages
Designing a family game night for all ages can be a real trick. The interests and abilities of a 4 year old, for instance, are way different from that of an 8 year old or a teen. Since this is a FAMILY game night, we want everyone to participate and have a good time.
Encourage players to let all team members participate–little ones can get left in the dust when highly competitive older siblings want to win bad enough.
Be sure to check out the rest of my game night theme ideas for fun!
- Two identical puzzles (24 pieces)*
- Questions or Tasks written out on slips of paper
- Plastic fillable eggs*
PUZZLES: Have a table ready where the puzzles will be put together. Keep the box close by so that players can see what the puzzle will look like. *You can find great, inexpensive puzzles and plastic eggs at Dollar Tree!
TEAMS: Set up teams. Teams should be a mixture of age groups.
QUESTIONS: Each egg will hold a trivia question to be answered, or a task to be done. Mark them for the age of the person to answer it. (Young Child – Child – Teen or -Adult) The host/hostess moderator has the answers to all of the questions.
RULES: Everyone hunts for eggs as a team. When they get an egg, bring it to the host/hostess who reads the question aloud. A team member answers the question. When a question is answered correctly, the team earns a puzzle piece for their puzzle. Once all of the clues have been found and the puzzle pieces awarded, the team puts their puzzle together. Whoever’s puzzle is completed first wins!
- Jump up and down three times and touch your nose. (for youngest child)
