Materials you’ll need
- A Coffee Can with a Lid
- Crayons (separated by colour)
- Clothing Outfit (separated by top and bottom)
- Any Additional “Pair” Items You May Have Around the Home
- Paper and Pen
Instructions
- Hide items around the house in halves (i.e. pants in one location; top in another).
- Write out two clue guides of where the kids can find the items on separate sheets of paper and give one to each team. For younger children who are unable to read, draw pictures instead of using words to guide them.
- Watch how the kids interact as they search for the items and provide hints as needed if they struggle. Be sure to monitor how they’re working together and point out ways they could improve if they’re not communicating in a positive manner.
- When the items have been found and brought to you, reward the group in any way you choose for a job well done.
