“The Magic Treasure Hunt” 🏴☠️✨
“The Magic Treasure Hunt” 🏴☠️✨
Preparation
Play fun music and ask the children to choose their favorite song.
Instructions
Tell the children that they are opening a magical treasure box with a secret mission inside. Their mission is to find different “treasures” around the house.
Every 30–40 seconds, give them a new instruction such as:
“Find something that makes a sound!”
“Find something red!”
“Bring something as soft as a cloud!”
Remind the children that:
we do not run,
we must be careful,
and that “pirates” move slowly, so they should imitate them.
Once they find each object, they come back and share it with the group.
Tell them that at the end of the activity, the Secret Treasure will appear.
The Secret Treasure ✨
At the end, reveal the “Secret Treasure”:
a small joy activity, such as:
“Do a happy jump!”
“Smile as big as you can!”
“Do your funniest dance move!”

Activity Description
Get ready to play an icebreaker game inspired by the famous TV show “Rook Zook”!
Goal
The team must discover the 5 hidden words chosen by one child in each round.
This activity promotes:
teamwork,
communication,
quick thinking,
and active participation.
Instructions
Explain to the children that in each round:
one child becomes the “team leader,”
receives a category,
and secretly chooses 5 words related to that category.
With the tutor’s help in a breakout room, the child prepares the hidden words.
After returning to the main room:
the tutor reveals only the category,
and the rest of the children begin guessing words one by one in order to discover all 5 hidden words.
Preparation for Tutors 📝
Before the session, the tutor should prepare several categories, such as:
5 objects found in a living room
5 countries in Europe
5 animals found in a zoo
5 emotions people experience
The older the children are, the more challenging the categories can become.
Step-by-Step Process
Choose the child who will be the first team leader.
Create a breakout room with the child.
Share the category privately.
Help the child think of 5 hidden words if needed.
Return to the main session.
Share a countdown timer on the screen.
Set the order in which children will guess.
Children take turns saying words until time runs out.
Example:
Child A guesses first
Child B joins after 10 seconds
Child C after 20 seconds
etc.
Make sure the children clearly understand:
the order,
the timing,
and how the guessing works.
Tutor Notes ✨
While children are guessing:
keep track of how many hidden words are discovered,
encourage teamwork,
celebrate participation,
and reveal the missing words at the end.
You may also ask the team leader:
“How many words did your team manage to find?”
Tips for Larger Groups 👥
If there is not enough time for every child to lead a round:
Option A
Explain that children who do not get a turn today will become team leaders in the next session.
Option B
Place children in pairs inside breakout rooms and allow them to choose the hidden words together collaboratively.
