'Treasure' paper scissors paint
Step by step
* Ask the children to choose something to represent a 'treasure'. This could be a small teddy, a toy car or a box covered in gold paper.
* Explain that you are going to hide the treasure and they must try to find it.
* Make a footprint trail for the children to follow. Ask them to remove their shoes and draw around them on to a sheet of paper. Paint them in bright colours and cut them out when dry. The length of trail you require will determine how many footprints you need.
