Quests to find treasure. Search for pirate treasure. Outdoor birthday scenario
Let's get ready
It is necessary to carefully prepare for the game. "Find the treasure" - real adventure for the little traveler! First, let's decide: will this be a joint project with the child or a surprise for the child? In any case, we need a script. It can be simple, for example, find a treasure using a house map, or it can be more intricate for organizing a holiday in nature or at a camp. It would also be good to think about whether the scenario of the game “Find the Treasure” will be only for children, or will adults be able to take part in the impromptu journey? Based on this, you need to purchase prizes, prepare tasks and decide on the duration of the game. Remember, no matter how exciting the competition is, children 6-10 years old cannot be busy with one thing for a long time.
Making a map
What a journey without a map! It's not just a piece of paper with obstacles marked with crosses. For everything to be real, we need the right map. Try to maintain the scale, for example, in small objects 1 cm = 1 cm, in large objects - 10 cm = 1 cm. It is necessary to detail the map: draw a plan of the room or area as closely as possible if the game “Find the Treasure” is played in a camp. This is not only interesting, but also useful:
- The child learns to navigate the terrain.
- The little traveler develops spatial thinking.
- The child's analytical skills improve.
If the child is well versed in maps, then try to take a real map of the area and mark on it the places where “dangers” await the treasure hunter. Will the child understand where the river is on the map, where the hill is, and where the flat area is?
Secret notes
The journey for the treasure is an adventure full of secrets and dangers! Let's prepare old notes for the game "Find the Treasure". For preschoolers, it is enough to simply crumple the paper and make torn edges, but for older children you will have to get creative. We need to age the paper: using tea leaves, coffee or milk. Everything is done quite quickly, and the result will exceed all expectations.
Select tasks according to the age of the children; more than one child will take part in the game. You need commands. Focus on the skills of brave travelers. Perhaps some notes will be for preschool children, others for elementary school students. For example, tasks for the game “Find the Treasure” could be like this:
- walk two steps forward, turn right and see what's hidden in the corner;
- count five steps to the left, and then turn around sharply. What do you see?
- cross the ravine by crawling;
- run through the forest like a hare does
- find the old squirrel's hollow and look for a clue in it;
- walk along the log without hitting a tree branch.
If the game “Find the Treasure” involves the participation of children and adults, the tasks can be complicated. Invite participants to light a fire, determine the cardinal directions without a compass, and find out the time using the sun as a guide. And don’t forget about creative tasks: come up with a poem about a brave traveler, solve riddles, draw a picture on the wall of the “cave”.
There are also very interesting clues that the treasure hunter will encounter on his way to cherished goal: draw arrows (regular or ) or place some noticeable things along the route. Such “helpers” can either be correct or confuse their tracks.
Where is the treasure?
By completing tasks and following the clues, the child (or the whole team) will soon reach the main place, marked on the map with the coveted cross. If you want the game “Find the Treasure” to be remembered by your child for a long time, try to equip the treasure storage area in the style of pirates. For example, take a small chest, pour coins into it and bury it in in the right place. Or you can simply sew a bag and fill it with jewelry. Even at home, such a surprise will be relevant: the treasure can be placed on a shelf in the closet or hidden in the pantry. And of course, don’t forget about sweets: after a dangerous journey, it doesn’t hurt to refresh yourself!
Did you like the idea of the game “Find the Treasure”? Great! We think that our option will only be a hint for you, and you will organize the real adventure for your child yourself.

Pirate: Next Island "Green Pharmacy"
This point is organized on the lawn or in a bed with medicinal plants. Here Doctor Aibolit meets the children. He is holding pictures of plantain, celandine, dandelion, chamomile, mint (or the plants themselves).
Dr. Aibolit: Greetings, fellow tourists! It often happens that something unpleasant happens on a hike - a scratch, bruise or some insect bite, and there is no doctor nearby. What to do? Nature has its own pharmacy, it grows under your feet. Plants will help you if you know how to use them correctly. You need plantain if you cut yourself - apply a clean leaf to the wound and hold it - the bleeding will stop. Another plant - dandelion – medicinal, all its parts are used in medicine - from root to flower. It is edible - it is included in salads, even dandelion jam is prepared from it. Dandelion will help with an insect bite - a wasp, a bee or a gadfly. Just rip it off yellow flower and lubricate the bite site with its milky juice. Celandine– The plant is poisonous - you cannot eat it. But if you rub a callus on the road, pick off a leaf and lubricate the callus with the yellow juice that comes out of it. But you can only use plants that grow in the forest, far from roads

Birthday script for fresh air
Which plot is most suitable for celebrating a birthday in the forest, by the river or in the country, in a word, in the fresh air, and not in an apartment? Of course, an interesting journey with adventures, unusual encounters and a cheerful ending. However, thorough preparation is important here, because it is necessary to think through the route and tasks of the trip so that it is interesting enough for the children to be captivated by the game throughout the holiday.
As a rule, for older preschoolers and younger schoolchildren, something like a trip to find a treasure is arranged. In a playful way, they are invited to find fragments of an “old map” with the location indicated on it where treasures are hidden - a birthday cake and various prizes. Of course, they don’t know what exactly the children will be looking for. The game begins by reading a pirate letter, “accidentally” discovered in an empty lemonade bottle.
“This is a letter from Captain Silver, and whoever found it was very lucky! You can find untold treasures if you complete all my tasks. Step by step you will move towards the treasure. Go ahead and search! Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
You will find the first clue under the garden bench.”
So the game has begun! Everyone rushes together to the bench, to which the bag with the first clue is tied with a ribbon. To get it, you need to untangle the toys, tennis racket and tricycle tied to the tape. There's a riddle inside:
Not a bush, but with leaves,
Not a shirt, but sewn,
Not a person, but a storyteller. (Book)
Naturally, the riddle is quickly solved, and the guys begin to look for the book.
Under the book (and it should be a large and thick book, that is, quite noticeable) there is a hint: in the room with toys you need to find 5 pieces of utensils blindfolded (they are mixed with toys).
There's a new clue in the glass: skittles in the yard.
Everyone goes out into the yard and sees that there is no foreign objects 8 pins are randomly placed on the site (plastic bottles can be used).
The presenter explains that the guys must choose a pilot who will blindly lead the ship, maneuvering between the buoys. In fact, you need to walk blindfolded through the area with pins, and everyone else at this time is given the right to tell you where to go. The task is to pass between the pins without knocking over any.
On the other side of the site there is a wooden block dug into the ground (shallowly). You need to swing it from side to side, and at the bottom you will find another note: "Look in the big tree" .
On a large spreading tree that you can easily climb, there is a note: "Marine Signalmen Competition" .
The guys are divided into two groups.
Task: without the help of voice, only with facial expressions and gestures, convey the encryption (each encryption is given only to one group, and should not be heard by another group).
The first code: “I was doused with soup in the dining room.”
Second encryption: “I was attacked by a flock of mosquitoes.”
Teams take turns trying to portray what is “encrypted,” after which everyone receives prizes “for artistry.”
Now each group is given a rope, everyone stands behind each other. It is advisable for adults to join the children. The first participant runs with a rope in his hands to the goal and back, then he joins him, holding the rope, the second one runs back, the third one grabs the rope, and so on until the whole team has run.
The presenter invites the children to the next stage, which can be called "Accurate shooter" .
The task is to hit the empty ball with the ball plastic bottle, standing at some distance from the line drawn on the ground. From this trait, children take turns throwing the ball, trying to knock down the bottle.
When this succeeds, a note is found under the bottle: "Look for the chest on the veranda" .
There really is a chest on the veranda (it could be an ordinary box, bedside table, closet, but then this should be indicated in the note), but it is locked with a combination lock. The presenter explains that they hang on the veranda Balloons(quantity - according to the number of guests), in each of which the task is:
jump on one leg to a tree and back, somersault over your head, name 5 edible things starting with the letter “K”, draw a man with eyes closed, depict an animal without words, etc.
Everyone must choose a balloon, “pop” it, take out the task, complete it and receive a fragment of a postcard from the presenter. Having finally folded the postcard, the guys can read the code on its back and open the lock.
Hooray!!!
An amazing cake with candles and a bunch of chocolate medals have been found!

It's never too early or too late to dream of finding a real treasure! There are many options for organizing such events. Here you will find some ideas, examples and tips. The hunt for the treasure can be done on foot, by bike, by car or online. In nature, in the city, at home, on the beach, in the park - everywhere! This game is great for children's parties! Read our proposals and choose suitable ideas for implementation.
1. Let's start from the end: choose the place where the treasure will be hidden.
2. Define the search scenario and the legend of the treasure.
3. Let's draw a map with the route to the treasure.
4. We will organize a route.
5. We will install signs along the route.
6. We will prepare tests at key points.
Scenario
The script is very important for children! A beautiful story captivates them! As a storyteller, transform into a seasoned sailor, a wise old man or a pirate: find a suitable outfit, change your voice - children love it! Use a phrase like: “This map, left over from my sailor grandfather, has been hanging on my wall for a long time, for a reason!” or “Many years ago, my grandfather brought back this ancient treasure map from a voyage, but no one has yet been able to solve it!”
Birthday Gift
“Your uncle sent you this old map as a gift...”
In a bottle
Roll the card itself or the first pointer into a tube, tie the end to a string or elastic band and throw it into the bottle. Throw it floating in the bathtub, sink, basin, pool... and wait until someone finds it.
Letter
You have a letter from... (an old friend, great-grandmother, wizard), who really needs your help. Are you ready to help him?
Postman error
In front of your guests, bewildered, place a large mailing envelope in a visible place that attracts attention, for example, with bright stamps or seals. And wait until one of the guests asks what it is. Answer that you don’t know, apparently the postman mixed up the address. And then, nevertheless, give in to persuasion and print out what is supposedly someone else’s letter, shrouded in secrecy.
Kite
Attach the card to the kite and attach it to a tree or bush. When all the guests have gathered, casually mention that you allegedly saw a kite on the street. Curiosity will then do its job, and the adventure will begin!
Route
The simplest option. You will need a map with a cross indicating the location of the treasure and key points on the route. The road to the cross must be long, the location of the treasure must be initially unclear, because this is what captivates children! For very little ones, it is better to bury the treasure in the ground - there will be no bounds to delight! Also remember that kids have difficulty finding their way around a map, even the simplest one!
Examples of key points:
In the garden: tree, pool, gazebo, ...
In the park: a play area, a statue, a fountain, a tree that attracts attention, ...
In the city: house, bus stop, church, monument, train station, …
Following signs
Ideal for children 4-6 years old, but can be adapted to any age. You issue the first pointer, which leads to the second, and so on. The directions must be clear and lead clearly to the next sign. They can be rhymed or in prose. The difficulty is to hide them so that no one discovers them ahead of time.
Another variant.
Draw arrows with chalk on the floor and walls in the direction of the treasure. Place challenge cards at each key point. For kids who cannot read, you can, for example, draw on the floor a narrow river with crocodiles crossing their path, which you need to jump over to move on, or a swamp that you need to cross by jumping from hummock to hummock, or a narrow cable car over an abyss...
Balloons with notes inside or cards on ribbons tied to tree branches can also serve as signs...
If the search lasts until late in the evening, you can also use fluorescent sticks.
Location orientation
For older children, you can offer a map that they can navigate using a compass. Naturally, the cardinal directions must be indicated on the map. Directions of movement can be either simple (north, south) or more complex.
Photo
As pointers, you can give out photographs of those places where the next pointers lie, and so on until the treasure itself. Choose the difficulty level according to the age of the participants.
Key points
Key points marked on the map can also be accompanied by verbal comments, such as “If you find the tallest tree in the forest, move away from it towards the highest tree.” high mountain. Along the way you will see a lake and a bench. And the lowest branch of the pine tree closest to it will indicate where the treasure is buried.”
Another example for the city.
“Find the tallest building, move from it to the church, then, when you reach a store (restaurant, bar...) turn right. There you will see a statue whose hand will indicate where the treasure is.” Naturally, in this case there is no point in marking points on the map, because finding the treasure is then easier than ever!
The idea: the closer the participants are to the goal, the more difficult the tests and the search for the next key point should be!
By navigator
Why not use new technologies? Distribute little noticeable or not noticeable objects on the map and on the ground. So that only with the help of the navigator and the data on the coordinate indicators of the next point you can understand that you have arrived at the desired point.
Rebus
Place cards with riddles at each key point. Having guessed which, players receive new words, parts of the rebus. After collecting all the pieces, they guess the rebus, a word meaning the place where the treasure is hidden.
Treasure map
How to make a card:
1. Soak the tea bag in boiling water.
2. Squeeze lightly and make prints on white paper on both sides until the desired yellowish tint is obtained.
3. Leave to dry thoroughly.
4. If you plan to print text on this paper, and it is quite deformed, then iron it with an iron through a cloth.
Do not forget that there may be missing pieces on the map: the location of the treasure itself or some sections of the route, which, of course, can later be determined logically.
To make it more believable, the edges of the card can be slightly scorched.
