Ema strašno voli da traži skriveno blago i prati uputstva ili mape. Zimus smo pravile fosile dinosaurusa i skrivali ih po stanu sa pisanim uputstvima (pogledajte ovde) što je naišlo na ogromno oduševljenje. Tu igru često igramo opet.
Letos smo proveli nekih desetak dana na planini, između igranja fudbala sa drugarom, ljuljanja na ljuljaškama, puštanja zmaja, planinarenju po brdima i vulkanskim stenama, ostalo je vremena i za traženje blaga.
Nacrtala sam jednu uprošćenu mapu našeg dvorišta i grafitnom olovkom sa „X“ označila gde su sakriveni gorepomenuti fosili. Deca su se naoružala baterijskom lampom i dobrom voljom i krenula u potragu. Kada su ih sve pronašli, izbrisali smo oznake, pa krenuli iznova. Zatim su se dogovorili da će jedno od njih da sakriva fosile, a drugo da traži, pa da se menjaju. A možete im i organizovati takmičenje.
Sve u svemu, super igra da vežbate snalaženje u prostoru i praćenje uputstava, a i da se deca fizički aktiviraju. Ukoliko nemate dvorište, možete se igrati i u stanu ili parku ili gde god želite. Uživajte :)

My daughter really likes looking for hidden treasure by following instructions or maps. This winter we made dinosaur fossils and played a game where she had to find them following textual instructions (see here). She enjoyed that very much and we play that game often.
This summer we spent about ten days in the hills. After playing football with her friend, swinging on the swings, flying a kite, hiking in the hills and volcano rocks there was some time left for treasure hunting.
I made a pretty simple map of our back yard and marked the spots where those fossils were hidden with a pencil. The kids found a flashlignt, took the map and headed off to look for the treasure. When they found the fossils, we erased the „X“ marks on the map and started all over again. Then they made a deal that one of them will hide the treasure and that the other would look for it on their own, and they would later switch parts. And you can also organize a competition and give each of them a map with different hidden treasures.
All in all, this is a great way to practice spacial awareness and following instructions and it's also a cool way to get your kids to move around a bit more. If you do not have a back yard, you can play at home, or at the park or wherever you wish. Have fun :)
