Dora The Explorer Game

The Game

Devise a treasure hunt with one clue leading to another until they eventually find the prize. Some examples of clues are.

“Look high to where it’s green; a bird might be there which you haven’t yet seen” This would lead your treasure hunters to a tree where you could place a toy bird holding the next clue.

“A little man holds the next clue; you will have to look carefully because he might be hiding from you” This clue refers to garden gnome.


The Musical Animals Game

A little like musical chairs and a perfect outdoor child birthday party game. To prepare for this game you will need to get some pictures of jungle animals. For this example we will say there are eight children at your party. You would need: 8 Giraffes 7 Hippo’s 6 Monkeys 5 Elephants 4 Snakes 3 Parrots 2 Crocodiles 1 Lion

Cut out the pictures (you can photocopy the same pictures for each animal) and stick them on to circles of card about the size of a paper plate.

Put all of the pictures around the garden in different places. Next you play the music and the kids march around in a circle in the middle of the garden like hunters on the prowl. When the music stops you shout out the name of an animal and they have to run and try to find a picture of that animal. The child who doesn’t come back with an animal or brings the wrong one is out. You have to start by shouting the name of the animal you have the most pictures of and make your way down the list.

The last child that gets the Lion is the winner.
