Ribbon & Riddles – Christmas Treasure Hunt
Turn a Christmas gift into a little adventure with Ribbon & Riddles. Follow a trail of illustrated, rhyming clue cards around the home and discover one lovely surprise at the end.
Choose the ready-made six-stop trail for a shorter hunt, the twelve-stop trail for a longer adventure, or build a route that fits your home using the full set of 24 clues. Clear host tables show exactly which card to hide at every location.
Inside the 18-page A4 PDF:
- Illustrated cover and host setup guide
- Ready-made six-stop and twelve-stop routes
- Separate answer key for all 24 clues
- Custom-route planning sheet
- 24 rhyming clue cards, four per page
- Four blank cards for handwritten clues
- Start and finish notes
- Eight coordinating gift tags
- Treasure-hunter certificate
- Cosy Christmas spot-it activity
- Christmas memory page
Suggested for ages 6-10 with a reader on hand, and a team of 1-6 children. Take turns reading, solving and leading the group. The clues use familiar indoor locations, with alternative destinations and a tree-free gift-bag finish included.
Print the pages you need, cut out the cards and follow the host route table. Use A4 paper, single-sided at actual size. An adult should cut and hide the clues. Add your own wrapped present, little treat or handwritten promise as the treasure - or use the included certificate.
The short route takes around 10-15 minutes and the longer route around 15-30 minutes as a planning guide; reading pace, hiding choices and help from the host will vary the time. These are fixed printable pages, with blank clue cards to complete by hand.
Designed in cranberry red, forest green and warm gold, with festive ribbons, botanical borders and little robins. A lovely activity for Christmas morning, a family gathering or a December afternoon.
