How to Set Up the Hunt

First, download your hidden elves treasure hunt set. Print the digital files.

Once printed, you have almost everything you need including your Elf doll.

Cut out the Elves. Hang the missing elves’ poster on the wall. The elves’ pictures are all within the wanted poster.

Lay out the Hidden Elves Scavenger Hunt letter with your visitor from the North Pole in a new spot. Your family elf is delivering the interactive activity.

We can’t give away the entire poem, but it starts like this…

In the midst of holiday cheer, there is a little rhyme,

It’s a festive riddle, just for Christmas time.

Twelve elves are hiding, causing giggles and fun,

Can you find them all? Let’s get this quest done!

Cut out the paper elves. Discreetly place the twelve elves in various spots around your home. Get creative – think bookshelves, under cushions, behind curtains, or peeking out from the Christmas tree.

Adaptions: For older kids, use the entire house. For younger kids, make the hidden elves in obvious locations.  You can announce a perimeter so your entire house is not torn apart.

Options: Enhance the festive atmosphere by adding some holiday decorations or props near the hidden elves. Perhaps some tiny presents, miniature candy canes, fun prizes, and treats, or a gift to make the hunt even more magical.

The Joy of Discovery

As the kids awaken to the rhyming note, their eyes will light up with excitement. The challenge is on! Encourage them to work together, following the rhyming note and searching high and low for the elusive elves. The joy of discovery is unmatched as each elf is found, bringing smiles and laughter to your home.

Having a Holiday Elf has become a beloved holiday tradition for many families. The concept is simple: a small elf doll is placed around the house each day in December, and children are encouraged to find it. The idea is that the elf is reporting back to Santa on the child’s behavior, so it’s a fun way to encourage good behavior in the lead-up to Christmas as well as promote the Christmas spirit!

But what if you want to take having a North Pole to the next level, that’s where the Treasure Hunt for Elf comes in. This is a fun twist on the traditional Elf game that adds an extra layer of excitement and challenge.

You can host a Christmas Scavenger Hunt where instead of simply finding the elf, children are given 22 Christmas-themed rhyming clues that lead them on a hunt around the house. The final clue leads them to the location of the elf, and they get a special prize for solving the puzzle. Alternatively, just like a pirate, you can offer your kids a fun treasure map where children find different things around the home. This seek-and-find elf hunt can be very challenging or quite easy – you determine based on the ability and age of the child.

The Treasure Hunt is a great way to make the holiday season more magical and memorable for children. It encourages imagination, creativity, and a sense of wonder that will last long after the elf has returned to the North Pole.
