The Christmas Elf’s Magical Scavenger Hunt


Kickoff: Your Christmas Elf is missing! You search high and low around the house, but there’s no sign of your magical friend. Just when you think all hope is lost, you spot a note on the table!

Elf’s Note: “Dear Little Helpers,
I need your help! The magic of winter is in danger, and without it, our holiday season won’t be as bright! I’ve hidden some special treasures that will help us gather the magic and bring it back to life. Follow the clues to find them and restore the wonder of winter! Love, Your Christmas Elf”


Clue 1: The Search for the magic potion

Clue: “To start our snow globe, you’ll need a special potion; it helps the sparkles fall like snowflakes in slow motion! Look where we keep the things that are sweet; your first clue hides where you find your favorite treat!”

Action: Kids search the kitchen for the small bottle of glycerin, which could be hidden near the candy or cookie jar.


Clue 2: Glittery Discoveries

Clue: “Great job! Now that you have the magical potion, it’s time to add some sparkle! For the first bag of glitter, follow the path to where your favorite story sleeps. Look between the pages, and see what you’ll keep!”

Action: Kids head to their bookshelf or reading nook to find the first bag of glitter hidden between their favorite books.


Clue 3: More Sparkle Awaits

Clue: “You’re doing fantastic! But wait, we need even more shimmer! For the next bag of glitter, check where the colors shine bright. Look for the place that holds the crayons—your next surprise is within sight!”

Action: Kids search their art supplies or crayon box to find the second bag of glitter.


Clue 4: The Final Sparkle!

Clue: “Almost there! Just one more bag of glitter to find! For your last treasure, it’s time to check the spot where we wash our hands and play—there’s a glimmer waiting where the soaps stay!”

Action: Kids head to the bathroom or kitchen sink area to discover the final bag of glitter.


Clue 5: The Grand Finale - Snow Globe Kit

Clue: “Congratulations, young adventurers! You’ve found all the sparkle! Now it’s time to create your very own snow globe! Head to where the family gathers to enjoy some cheer. Your final surprise is waiting for you here!”

Action: Kids make their way to the family gathering area (living room or dining room), where the snow globe is set up with their Christmas Elf, holding a sign that says:

“Welcome to the Snow Globe Craft Station! You’ve gathered everything you need to create your magical snow globes! With this sparkling potion and your special glitters, we’ll capture the magic of winter together. Every year, as you shake your snow globe, you’ll remember the adventure we had in search of our winter magic!”
