Using this kit you can organize a quest:

for two or three teams: each type of task is completed in several versions, with different keywords - so that the teams have equal chances, and victory depends on the speed of reaction and intelligence of the players;
for one player or for one team of players: in this case, the game organizer will have a choice of the most convenient places in the forest to create a search chain; in each type of task, you need to select the option with the most suitable keyword.

Quest plot

The plot of this quest is based on the idea of hidden gifts by Santa Claus. Having decided not to act in the traditional way - putting gifts under the tree, Grandfather decided to play a prank on the children and instead of gifts under the tree he put his letter or, at the request of the organizer, sent it to the address of the school (house, apartment). The letter also included envelopes (for 2 or 3 teams) with the initial tasks of the quest. In his mysterious letter, Grandfather Frost explains in poetic form to the children what exactly needs to be done for them to find gifts. After the organizer reads Grandfather's letter out loud, the children will open the envelopes and begin solving the tasks. The team that solves all the tasks and finds the main cache will be the winner. But since friendship always wins, the gifts found will be divided among all participants in the quest.

Memo for parents

Prevention of substance use in children

The health of a child is the greatest happiness for parents. But, unfortunately, more and more teenagers are starting to use tobacco, alcohol and drugs.

Reasons for using psychoactive substances:

curiosity (thanks to the famous saying of not very smart people: “You have to try everything!”);
the desire to be like a “tough guy”, an older authoritative comrade, often the personal example of parents, etc.;
the desire to be “bad” in response to constant pressure from parents: “Do this, be good.” This can also be a way to attract attention;
idleness, lack of any activities or responsibilities, resulting in experiments out of boredom.
