HELP! Need Clever Clues For Christmas Treasure Hunt!

[Hockey Mom]

I have doodled with this for hours, and I am still hitting a brick wall.

 

My boys are getting a swing set for Christmas. I want to wrap empty boxes with rhyming clues in each box that will ultimately lead them outside to the back yard. The last box they open will be a blindfold, and the clue should indicate that they should grab a parent to lead them to their final clue.

 

Since I have two boys, ideally, I'd like to come up with 3 clues each.

 

Help?

In the place mom washes the clothes you wear,

You'll find clue number 2 hidden there.

 

Reach under the couch and you will see

something containing clue number 3.

 

Go to the kitchen, look under the sink,

and there you'll see clue 4, I think.

 

Look under your beds, if you'll be so kind,

Clue number 5 is what you'll find.

 

Put on the blindfold and out you go,

you'll find your present out in the snow. (If it's snowing where you are!)

Neat software for treasure/scavenger hunts. It's so easy to make them up now and the kids love it. :)

Here are some I have used for birthdays:

 

Veggie Tales and The General

And Wii games galore.

You’ll find your next clue

In this special drawer.

(In DVD drawer)

Rub a dub dub

And bubbles and fizz.

Figure out where these are.

That’s where your next clue is.

(In tub)

Lick it, stamp it.

Seal it with a kiss.

This clue is so easy,

There’s no way to miss.

 

(In mailbox)

Eat your carrots,

Moms like to say.

A few more clues,

And you’re on your way.

(In veggie drawer)

We study spelling and history,

And math with good cheer.

When [son's name's]learning these,

His behind is parked here.

(taped to the bottom of his chair in the school room)

Speaking of [son's]behind,

And what he keeps it in.

Find where that is,

And this hunt is almost at an end.

(In son's pants drawer)

I hope you’ve had fun.

And it’s been a pleasure.

Follow this final clue

And you’ll find your treasure.

Swim and gym,

Baseball and ballet.

This is where [son's]mom

Spends half of her day.

(this one was in my car)

Another one I have used (it was on my golden retriever's fence) is:

Some of you are blond;

Someone else here is, too.

Figure out who it is,

And you'll find your next clue.

 

Hope these give you some ideas.
