Hunt for the Hidden River: 3rd and 4th class (ages 8 to 10)

A treasure hunt for a river you cannot see. The Poddle runs under Dublin city centre, so children hunt for the clues it left above ground. At each of six stops they solve a clue and collect a letter, and the letters spell a secret word at the end.

The six stops, all a short walk apart: St Patrick's Cathedral, Ship Street, the Palace Street gate of Dublin Castle, Dame Street, the Olympia Theatre and Wellington Quay.

The clues have more history in them, with letter boxes for each answer. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours with a break. There's an adult guide with safety notes, a bonus task at each stop, a page to sketch your route, and the answers at the back.

A printable A4 PDF, sent to your email as soon as you pay. All the writing and artwork is original. Notes for the adult are at the front and the answer key is at the back.
