St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunt

I hope you all enjoyed being Irish this past weekend. I did a little something special for my cousin to celebrate - a Shamrock Scavenger Hunt. With simple craft store items, and a little creativity you can do this same scavenger hunt next year. Here's the collage she made, and how you can make your own hunt:

Materials:

(5) Glittered foam shamrocks

(1) Ceramic flower pot

     Gold ribbon

     Card stock

     Double sided tape

     Chalkboard paint

     Gold wrapped candy

     Green tissue paper

Tools:

     Hole Punch

     Printer

Step 1

Print out the clues on card stock, you create your own or use my clues below.

Fold a piece of card stock into an envelope.

Step 2

Cut out the clues in strips, and hole punch the ones that will be paired with a "Shamrock". 

Then, with double sided tape, stick the "Envelope" riddle to the front of your envelope.

Step 3

Tie the clues to the shamrocks with your gold ribbon. Then, place "Shamrock 1" into your envelope.

Step 4 (optional)

If you choose to make a pot of gold, it's a fun and functional to paint a ceramic pot with chalkboard paint. Once it's dry, line to pot with green tissue paper and fill with golden goodies.

Step 5
Now, with double sided tape, stick shamrock clues 2-4 in their hiding places while the hunter sleeps. I've noted recommended hiding place next to each clue below. Then, tie the final shamrock clue to your pot of gold.

Enjoy!

Clues

Envelope (Door Way)

In the night while you did sleep, leprechauns crept not a peep, and hid a hunt made just for you. 

With glittering shamrocks to show thine clue to blarney treasure - just for you.

Shamrock 1

Leprechauns are little sprites, sneaky blighters with a bite.

You'll find your next clue on something white.

Shamrock 2 (Refrigerator)

Do not mistake them with elfish elves, who hide on cookied pantry shelves,

But take a look inside your shoe and it will tell you your next clue.

Shamrock 3 (Boot)

Leprechauns are captured only by sight, they're sly and swift - in this they take delight.

Hiding behind a picture of you will find a shamrock clue.

Shamrock 4  (Behind a Hanging Picture)

This shamrock race is nearly nigh. You'll glimpse the treasure with your eye.

Just take a peek inside a vase whose flowers are now out of place.

Shamrock 5

The leprechauns like to see you play, they are delighted you found your way.

Through this gaming way they say have a Happy St.Patrick's Day!
