Valentine's Day is quickly approaching...I know, I know. It is still a month away, but I promise you, that month is going to fly by. So, here's an idea that will get your creative juices flowing.
Create a treasure hunt activity for either your significant other or your kids. If you don't have either, then create on for your friends (it is boring to think about Valentine's as just a day for couples).
Here's the general gist: create clues that lead to other clues and eventually direct the person (or people) to the ultimate destination. Whether it's a coffee shop, a fun restaurant or even your home.
The hunt could begin with you sending a text to your loved one saying something like "Ready to play? Check your mail box..." Now, you can either have an email waiting for them with the next clue, or literally place something in their mailbox. This is easier when you live with the person...but you get the idea.
The next clue could lead them to a library where you've hidden a clue inside a book. For example, the clue could read "What is the first day of spring? Find out more in 'Spring Gardening' at your nearest library." The clue could be stuffed on page 21 (the official first day of Spring) leading them to your next place.
Send them to the grocery store where you've placed a clue next to an food item. For instance, you could say "When you think of Italy, what main dish comes to mind? See if you know at Smith's Food King. Be aware, you'll have to dig around" You could then hide the clue under a couple of bags of pasta.
And so on. While your person is out and about on the treasure hunt, you could be on your way over to the final destination or even preparing and decorating for a great meal at home.
To make this idea even better, please share your clue ideas if you were to play this game (or should I say, when you put together your treasure hunt?). I would love to hear your thoughts. For now...Happy Valentine's Day planning!
