We have been working on words, spelling and writing recently. At Christmas we bought a kids dictionary. I'd been wanting to look at it with Matthew, and then came up with the idea of turning it into a treasure hunt.
I'm sure lots of us have different dictionaries so this wouldn't be something that could be printed out. It is however very easy to do.
All I did was flick through the book and work out questions that might interest Matthew.
What is the first word in the dictionary?
What picture is on page 166?
What word comes after dragon?
What colour is the flower?
What is the plural of sock?
How many suitcases are there?
Is there a girl or boy on the swing?
What is the tiger standing in?
How many continents are there?
The last question I did was
What word comes after Friday? Look here for the treasure.
The answer to this was Fridge. If he looked in the fridge he would find the treasure. I have a tube of Smarties tucked away for him to find.
I then decided to make a work sheet for him to fill in the answers. But you could just write a list of questions and ask them.
We love doing word games so when ever I find something on the internet I save the ideas in Pinterest. Look here for other ideas that we have saved to have a go at another day.
