The challenge

Step 1

Choose a ‘prize’, and hide it somewhere in your home.

Step 2

Create a scavenger hunt using your own clues that are all about being in the right position. In your clues, use words like:

• clockwise or anti-clockwise
• full-turn, half-turn or quarter-turn
• left or right
• up or down
• between
• next to
• beside
• behind or in front of
• inside our outside
• on top or below, under or beneath.

For example, "Take three steps forward, then turn anti-clockwise", "Look beneath the couch" or "Walk in the opposite direction until you get to a piece of furniture".

The conversation

Get your child’s friends involved or if you have a large family, work in teams to see who can get to the mystery prize first!
