Abstract

An educational treasure hunt game provides for teaching young children or others the basics of writing and reading, by conducting a physical search for cards placed or concealed throughout a predetermined area in accordance with clues provided. A series of cards include pictorial representations of various articles or objects on the front face thereof, with the cards having one or more written clues on the reverse face thereof. Each clue corresponds to a pictorial representation shown on the front face of the next successive card in the series, with all of the cards being arranged in alphabetical order according to the first letter of the name of the object or article pictured. The back faces of the cards may include more than one clue, with a corresponding number of cards being provided in order to provide sufficient pictorial symbols. The game is played by placing or concealing the cards adjacent to articles or objects corresponding to their pictorial representations. The game supervisor then reads the first clue, and players engage in a physical search for the object or article corresponding to that clue. When the object and its associated card are found, the supervisor reads a clue from the discovered card, and the process continues. Players are provided with a board and marker to record the first letter or the name of the object depicted on each card found. One or more prizes may be provided at the end of the search, if desired.
