⏱️ Duration: 15–20 Minutes

📦 What You Will Need

  • Treasure Hunt Map printouts (1 set for each team).
  • Cut the map into individual clue chits along the borders.
  • On each chit, note the number inside the square box.
  • Fold each chit twice so the content cannot be read from the outside, and clearly write that chit’s number on the outside.
  • Place one full set of numbered chits into a separate envelope for each team.
  • Prepare a small “Treasure” (stickers, treats, or Bible bookmarks) at the final destination.

🎮 How to Play

1

Form Teams

Divide the kids into small teams. Select one volunteer per team to hold the team’s envelope of chits.

2

Open Clue #1

On “Go!”, teams open chit 1, read the scenario together, and choose the right moral path.

3

Follow the Path

Their choice directs them to the next specific chit number. Beware: wrong choices lead to a dead end!

4

Find the Treasure

The final correct chit discloses the whereabouts of the treasure. The first team to arrive wins!

💡 Teacher’s Rule: Monitor the kids closely to ensure they read chits strictly in sequence, and that an opened chit is kept aside rather than thrown back into the lot.

💬 Group Discussion & Debrief

Gather the children together and ask these reflective questions:

1. Each clue offered two choices. Were your choices easy to make? Why?

Suggested response: Yes, because only one option was kind and smart, while the other was unkind or selfish.

2. What happened when your team made a wrong choice?

Suggested response: We reached a dead end and could not move forward until we went back.

3. How do you feel when you have a hard choice to make in real life?

Suggested response: Sometimes confused, frustrated, or worried about what friends might say.

📖 Teacher Script & Closing Lesson:

“God also wants us to make good choices every single day. If you choose to disobey your parents, shout, throw a tantrum, or be unkind to a friend, those are bad choices that hurt people and lead to dead ends. But when we pray and ask God, He helps us make right choices. God can help you listen, share your toys, speak the truth, and help your family. Right choices please God and help us move forward in life!”
