Description

What should you do when the electricity fails you? Search for answers and learn what to do with this safety-themed hunt.

Resources

Scissors
Treasure (for example, chocolate coins or pretend money)
Objects (or photos to represent items)

Instructions

Before you begin
Cut up the ‘Questions and answers’ sheet so each question and answer is separate.
Hold onto question one – you’ll need it to start the activity.
Put each answer on or in the matching item (or the photo, if you don’t have the item).
Put the next question with the item too. For example, put the second question (about what’s useful to keep handy to see in the dark) with the answer to the first question (use box).
Hide the items around your meeting place.
Place the treasure with the final answer.

Hunt the treasure
Everyone should gather at the entrance to their meeting place.
The person leading the game should ask the first question – ‘what should you check when the electricity goes off?’
If you have lots of players, split into small groups and leave a little time between each group’s start time. Alternatively, you could run this activity as one of a few in a session.
The players should work together to figure out the answer to question.
Once the players have worked out the correct answer, they should search for the relevant item or photo. When they find it, they should read the next question, figure out the answer, and hunt for it.
Everyone should continue until they’ve found the last item and discovered the treasure.
