GEOGRAPHY
Treasure Map Adventure: Explore Your Neighborhood 🗺️🏴‍☠️

Ahoy, mateys! Let's embark on a treasure hunt through our own neighbourhoods!

You'll Need:

• A piece of paper

• Drawing supplies (pens, pencils, crayons, etc.)

• A few small "treasures" (sweets, small toys, etc.)

Instructions:

• Choose a starting point in your house or garden.

• Create a treasure map, drawing a path from the starting point to various landmarks in your neighbourhood (e.g., a tree, a postbox, a playground).

• Use symbols and clues to mark the location of each hidden treasure. For example:

  • X marks the spot

  • Three paces north of the big oak tree

  • Look under the swing set

• Hide the treasures in the designated spots.

• Give the map to a family member or friend and let them set sail on their treasure hunt!

Bonus Challenges:

• Create riddles or puzzles as clues instead of simple directions.

• Make the map look old and worn by crumpling it or staining it with tea bags.

• Bury the final treasure in a secret spot and mark it with a special symbol on the map.

This activity encourages creativity, problem-solving skills, and an appreciation for your local environment. It's a fun way to get some exercise and explore your neighbourhood with a new perspective!
