For parents who are looking to get their kids more active—instead of sitting in front of the TV or computer all day—Treasure Trax, from USAopoly, is the perfect way to do so. Designed for kids ages 3 to 5, this scavenger hunt appeals to their sense of exploration and adventure by getting them to move through different areas of the home searching for the next clue.
The game comes with a set of cards each featuring a letter, a color, an animal, or a location around the house and a small storage bag for when the game is not in use. All the images on the cards are illustrated and colorful, and the animals pictured are adorable with wide smiles and big eyes.
Treasure Trax is simple: an adult sets aside one location card where the child will begin his or her search, and at the next location, hides a search clue. Near an object that corresponds with the search clue, parents hide the animal card along with the next location card, and the child repeats the previous steps until all the animal cards have been found. This small game is versatile and can be played as a race between two players or kids can play individually. For an individual game, a player matches the animal cards or location cards with the color or the first letter of the animal’s name.
For parents who are worried about having a mess to clean up later on, the storage bag doubles as a collection bag for kids to put the cards in as they go through the scavenger hunt.
Although this game is slightly more expensive than an ordinary deck of cards, the price is worth the various activities that will get children physically and mentally active, as the individual games teaches them colors, letters, and image and word recognition. Treasure Trax is the ideal game for parents and their kids to interact with each other, guaranteeing a fun and educational experience.
