Activities for Older Children

Every kid loves to search for treasure with a treasure map! You can do this both inside and outside no matter what the weather!Put some small coins, jewellery, candy or toys into a small container. Decide where the treasure will be hidden. You don’t have to bury it just make sure it is well hidden yet visible. Make sure the map looks old by crumpling up paper and painting it with an old tea bag. After it dries draw on the map and its landmarks. don’t tell the kids about the treasure hunt, instead leave the map where they can find it. Then watch the fun as they realise they are going on a treasure hunt!

Assign each student/child a country. Get them to research how children live in that country and compare it to their own lives. Share findings with classmates.
