    PIONEER DAY TREASURE HUNT 

    This Pioneer treasure hunt has 8 clues which you will hide around the house. 

    You'll put them on places like the fridge or microwave. 

    And then you give your kids the first clue and let them follow the rest until they find the treasure at the last place: the pantry! 

    Have a Pioneer-themed treat waiting for them for the treasure like: 

    • Corn bread muffins
    • Salt Water Taffy
    • Covered Wagon cookies 
    • "Cow Pie" Cookies 

    If you want to add to the fun, you could also include an old-fashioned Pioneer Game like: 

    • Jacks
    • Checkers
    • Potato Sack Races

    This treasure hunt will be such a fun interactive way to help kids learn a bit more about Pioneer life.

      Great help with our Pioneer Activity Day - in Vienna, Austria! We are and international English- speaking ward here with members from Nigeria, Ghana, the Philipines, the US, Russia, Iraq, Chile, and more. Many if the children have very little experience with pioneers and their experience, so I want them to have this educational and inspiring activity. Also, I grew up in Utah and my bday is July 24th!

        Hello in Vienna! I spent time in Vienna years ago-- it was such a lovely city and I'm sure I went to the same church building you are in. I hope you have a great time celebrating Pioneer Day!
