Treasure Hunt

So these are clues I made for a treasure hunt I had the last day of a summer school program I taught. I am posting this merely for entertainment purposes, but I suppose if you had the exact same things in your classroom that I did you could use these clues yourself :)

            

                                                

If you want to find treasures beyond your wildest dreams

            Then follow my clues no matter how hard they seem

            To find the first clue which will lead you to riches

            Look under the place where your mom can wash dishes!

                                          

            So my first hint was easy, you found the next clue

            But this one is so clever you will not know what to do.

            It is hidden beneath a chair big, soft, and blue

            Where your teacher has sat everyday, it is true!

            Well I see that you’ve found out my secrets again

            But you still have a long way to go till the end

            The next clue is hidden where music does play

            “Kids in Motion” it wails at the dawn of each day!

                                

            Beware of the next clue, it is guarded by creatures,

            In the second and third weeks of school they were featured.

            They are terrible lizards, can you hear their fierce roar?

            Look behind near the orange box filled with dinosaurs!

            You survived the attacks of my dinosaur friends?

            No bother, I will trick you before this hunt ends.

            The next clue is hidden in a place you might know

            At the end of the day you may see my warm glow

            When your teacher puts in your favorite video!

            You are still getting closer to the treasure of mine

            But more clues still await, so keep walking the line

The next clue is hidden in a place you can write

            On top of a board that is big, tall and white

            When I saw you had found the next clue my heart sank

            Just like you will do when you’re walking the plank

            But for now here’s a clue, is that fear on your face?

            The next clue is hidden behind a black poster of space.

Oh no! Now my treasures’ almost in your hands

            I should have buried my riches deep down in the sands

            Well this next line you see is mostly for filler

            You will find the next clue atop one of two pillars.

So the hunt for my gold will soon be at an end

            You have done a great job finding clues my dear friends

            I could have hidden it anywhere in this nation

            The last clue you will find is in a hidden location

            For the last clue is placed where you start out each day

            Where you place your book bags before you come out to play.

                            

            Well your doing better than I thought you would do

            And your getting me nervous, I confess, it is true

            But this next clue will stump you, it will be your downfall

            So look under the chairs for a large colored ball  

            Don’t you get any closer to that treasure my dears

            For your doing so well that you’ll find it I fear

            But you won’t get any closer. Enough! That is it!

            Please, don’t look in the box that is labeled, Cheez-It!!

Congrats to you pirates, you have found the last clue

            And soon you will know exactly what to do

            Where has it been hidden? My maties, don’t fear

            For you will find riches buried right in here

            In a brown box turned over, lie riches beyond measure

            Just pick up the box to reveal all my treasure!
