Your REVEALING POTION is ready, just follow these easy steps to organize this great activity:
1. Print the magical ingredients labels and glue them on jars and bottles.
2. Fill these jars and bottles following instructions you will receive.
3. Print the potion recipe – the children will follow it to make a magical potion and discover if they have magical abilities (of course they have them! 😉 )
All potion ingredients are edible – you will find them in your kitchen cupboard or at your local grocery store.
Halloween is the ideal occasion to put the witch’s hat on. Therefore, this Treasure Hunt is based on the most popular book about Witches and Wizards, the Harry Potter saga. The clues and riddles of this Treasure hunt were inspired by events, objects, or places described in the Harry Potter books and movies. It will be easy to play for those who have watched the movies or read the books!
The children will have to use their knowledge of the Magical World to solve the clues and find the treasure.
Each clue leads to the next location; the goal is to find the treasure!
How to set it up?
★ Print the clues and the pictures included.
★ Follow the instructions and move from one spot to another to hide the clues.
Most hiding places are fixed to places or objects any house or apartment has (like a Mailbox, mirror, or a shoe). Therefore, you don’t have to think much about where to hide them. It makes the task easy!
