I am trying to organize a treasure hunt as a fun social event for this group I belong to.  I am not very creative when it comes to making up poems etc. so was loking for a book, website etc that will lay it out for me.

The first thing you need to do is figure out your hiding spots, and decide on your start point. Then you want to write clues for the participants to follow. When they find the first item, you will have to include clues as to how to find the next item and so on. It's really very simple. I do treasure hunts for my kids birthdays. It's alot of fun.

Check out the Book of Questions-by Gregory Stock. It is just FULL of ideas for you!  I have it. \n\nFound it on Amazon- it's CHEAP!  I tried posting the link straight to the book but I guess it's too long.

Go to www.langenberg.com&#92;    They have tons of thesaurus sites you can visit. Then you can put in words like set and collection to find words with similar meanings. Just go down the list on the left and sellect dictionaries. That will give you what you need plus poetry dictionaries, which gives you rhymes for words.

Had a book called 'breaking the rules', haven't got it now. Look for it on line, a poem or two might be published on line.

I think a limerick would be helpful in illustrating how rhymes work in a specific poetic form. I would have listed some sites, but it looks like there are too many to choose from. You might also use lyrics ( a few lines) from some of Weird Al Yankovic's song parodies to show how funny rhymes are used in music.

Just query it on yahoo, google, or msn.com\n\nYou can find some decent examples that can give you some creative sparks!  Good luck!

Despite about 25 minutes of searching I haven't been able to find this poem.  Could you call or e-mail someone you know who has to do the same assignment and possibly get the poem that way?  \n\nThese sites may be of some help to you.  My only other advice would be to get to a bookstore in your area if there is one and you might find it there.  Best of luck with it.

the best bacholerett party that I went to was a scavenger hunt, it involved two teams, two limos, a camera, and a list of photos to get it was a blast.  The maid of honor hired a company who put the whole thing together so it did not take a long time to plan and the evening only cost each guest fifty dollars.  Have fun!
