Quest plot
The plot of the quest “Summer Vacation” is based on the theme of children's summer holidays. Participants in the quest will have to solve tasks of medium difficulty with various puzzles on a summer theme. The main idea of the summer quest is that ten sunny bunnies approach the child (children), who congratulate them on the summer holidays and offer to play. If all the tasks are solved and the hiding places are found, then the participant(s) will definitely find the treasured gift (surprise) that the sunbeams prepared and hid for them. ◊ Beginning of the quest: We recommend starting the summer quest for children with the child (children) finding the envelope that the sunbeams sent to them. Having opened the envelope, you will find a letter with an appeal in poetic form, as well as the first task. ◊ Text of the letter: Hello, we are summer sunbeams, cheerful and playful storytellers of games. Whenever the children are on holiday, we always go to them to play. So now we came in to play. To lift the cheerful mood. If anyone is able to solve our tasks, he will be able to get that wonderful gift. Our gift lies in a secret hiding place, It is hidden, perhaps in a flower, an iron, a chest. Only the one who finds all the hiding places will take our gift with him. ◊ Completion of the quest: After the guys solve all the tasks and find all the caches, a gift will be waiting for them in the last secret cache and a final letter from the sunbeams with the text: All the caches have been found, the gift has been found! Holidays, holidays, wonderful time, Long live the holidays, hurray, hurray, hurray!
We are looking for treasure
The most popular theme for the quest is “Find the treasure”, I will write a separate article about this “Pirate Quest”.
But in general, you can come up with absolutely any topic.
Perhaps you will be really inspired by a cartoon or movie. Children can look for a magic wand that an absent-minded wizard has lost, for example.
To give children this task, you should read aloud to them (if the children are small) a letter from a wizard who asks for help.
Participants can be divided into teams or played together. Victory in each competition brings the team one point, and at the end of the evening, the points earned can be used to “buy” letters from the host.
From the collected letters, participants will form a word or phrase based on the theme of the entire evening. Either the phrase will indicate the place where treasures are buried or the wizard has lost his wand.
For example: “Look under the stone!”
The tasks might look something like this.
Quest tasks
All tasks in the quest have a colorful design with a summer holiday theme. At the end of each task, hidden places are indicated that lead the participant to a new task. The participant or participants need to move from one location to another and solve fun quest tasks in order to find the very cache in which the gift is hidden. The tasks in the quest are not connected by a common plot, and accordingly, all tasks can be selected and arranged in the necessary and convenient sequence for the quest organizer. Description of the tasks in the quest: ◊ Let's go to the beach - a fun task in which participants have to cross out the letters next to things that they will not need on the beach. By putting the remaining letters together and reading them, you can find out where the secret cache is hidden. ◊ Solar cipher
— all sunbeams have their own secret writing.
If you decipher it, you can find out where the secret cache is hidden. ◊ Summer games - an attentive task in which you need to indicate which game, which ball belongs to. If you do everything correctly, you will immediately know where the secret cache is hidden. ◊ Favorite ice cream - a logical task in which you need to choose the right wrapper for each ice cream in the hands of the children. If everything is done correctly, the guys will definitely discover a secret - the location of the next hiding place. ◊ Fruits and berries
- an attentive task in which you need to find the correct outline of the sunbeams’ favorite fruit on a miracle tree.
Having done everything right, the guys will definitely find out where the next secret cache is. ◊ Sweetness for joy
is a logical task in which participants will have to cross out all the ingredients that were not used when preparing the birthday cake.
From the first letters of the names of such components you need to create a word, which will be the hiding place. ◊ Travel map - an observation task in which you need to correctly follow the path on the map in order to find out the next cache. ◊ A hike awaits you - a logical task in which you need to find a pair for each presented object. Each such pair will show a key letter. By collecting all the key letters together, it will become known where the secret cache is located. ◊ Funny Index - a fun task in which children will need to distinguish individual words from a piece of text typed together, understand the meaning of the riddle and determine where the secret cache is located. ◊ Blooming Nature - an attentive task in which you need to help a bee collect nectar from white daisies.
If you pave the way correctly, then such a flight of a bee will definitely tell you where the next secret cache is hidden. You can read reviews about our quests here “Reviews”.
What is a quest
A quest is an intellectual form of active games on the streets of the city and beyond, as Wikipedia tells us.
In general, a quest is a game that includes sports missions and riddles.
It is not necessary to arrange such games on the street. In bad weather, you can organize a quest at home.
If your child doesn’t like to solve riddles, you can offer him a role-playing game.
And the quest can be designed based on a children’s favorite cartoon, for example, if you have the time and desire to tinker with costumes and other paraphernalia.
But children will have fun and interesting even if they are simply offered competitions and puzzles to solve as a team.
I want to give you examples of tasks so that you can choose the ones that are suitable for yourself and how to assemble an entire quest from the designer on any topic that you like.
4 Mission
You will need: empty cans or juice bags, and also balls or cones.
Preparation: arrange empty packages in the form of turrets, and let the kids frolic by shooting at the turrets from a long distance. Whoever knocks down the most cans wins.
You can tie pre-inflated balloons to the fence. If you inflate them very much and then shoot them with a slingshot, for example, the balls will burst noisily. The main thing is not to hit your neighbors.
8 Mission
Preparation: Find riddles in advance on the Internet that are age-appropriate for children. The answers can be clues for the search for treasure.
For example, a treasure can be hidden behind a well, if there is one on the site.
Where the water from year to year does not run or flow, does not sing or gurgle, but always stands like a pillar (Well)
You just have to accompany the children to the well so that they don’t think of diving inside.
You can stick a note with a clue indicating the location of the treasure to a compass and give the children such a riddle.
If you make friends with me – You won’t get lost on a hike (Compass)
Children will find a compass among the various objects offered, and read the clue on the back of it.
Or:
There is a back, four legs, Not a dog or a cat (Chair)
Or:
The first syllable is a pronoun, the second syllable is a frog singing, Well, the word itself is in nature, whether it grows in the garden or in the vegetable garden (Ty-kva)
You can hide a note in a pumpkin! But this riddle is for school-age children.
And so on, everything is limited by your imagination, budget and location of the games.
1 Mission
You will need: a couple of short pieces of ribbon or twine, a very long rope, a padlock and a key to it. This is a set for one team.
Preparation: wrap (loosely) a long rope around a gazebo or some bushes, tangling the upcoming path well. Using short ribbons, tie the key to one end of a long rope and the lock to the other end so that they can be dragged along the rope towards each other.
One of the participants moves the lock, the other moves the key, somewhere in the middle of the rope they meet and then the lock can be opened. The team that opens the lock first wins.
Instead of a lock, you can use letters cut out of paper if participants are already 6 years old. Only then you will have to come up with a difficult word, so that it is important to collect the letters in order. For example, the word “bayan” is suitable, because when rearranged, you get a completely different word – “bathhouse”.
Or other examples: can - boar, pump - pine, rope - roll, novel - norm, heat - channel. And the presenter will have to write down somewhere in advance which word was guessed, so that later there will be no disputes about this.
