Puzzled about what to do for fun with a group of friends? How will you entertain everyone? Well, I'm glad you asked.
PREPARATION:
Before everyone arrives, put together a simple puzzle. Carefully turn the puzzle over and write a clue on the back of it. For Example: I am healthy to eat and blue. This clue would lead your friends to the fresh blueberries in your kitchen. Disassemble the puzzle so it is ready for your friends to put together. Next, place a second clue by the first clue answered location, in this example you would place the next clue by the blueberries. The second clue might be something like "I am made of rope and you jump over me for fun. When you find me, each person must jump over me 10 times." This would lead them to a jump rope. Keep going with clues. It is great if you can have a clue include each person doing something active, like jumping rope. Then, the final clue should lead them to some sort of a prize. A big bowl of yummy fruit salad would be a perfect final treat! You can also have an adult do the clues so that you can do this activity along with your friends and not know what was set up.
LET THE FUN BEGIN:
Everyone works together to put together the puzzle. Then tell them to flip it over for the first clue. SURPRISE! Follow each clue to the next location until you find the healthy, yummy treat at the end.
