At my youngest daughter's recent birthday party,
I devised a scavenger hunt with clues from children's literature.
It was a fun way to combine their beloved books with a favorite party activity.
Each child was given their own goody bag for the scavenger hunt.
The first clue was read to all the children.
The children then guessed the answer and went to that location.
At each location, one of these bags awaited them.
Inside each bag was a small party favor prize for each child to take and another clue.
Along the way, each child gathered their trinkets and answered clues.
From the last clue, the children had to 'follow the rainbow' to the last stop.
The birthday party had a rainbow theme,
and this helped tie the rainbow theme into the scavenger hunt.

and this helped tie the rainbow theme into the scavenger hunt.
Using a long piece of rainbow crepe paper,
I made a rainbow trail from the bottom of our steps to the final prize location.
This basket of rainbow striped candy party favors was placed at the end of the rainbow
in the birthday girl's room.
Each child ended the scavenger hunt with a filled bag of party favors to take home with them.
