Answer: "Look in the mailbox"
(The prize was hidden there.)
This one is sooooooo easy, that you can use it for things that you'd be giving them anyway.
For example, the "treasure" could simply be a note that says:
"We're going to McDonalds!"
(or DisneyWorld) :-)
(Note: At Easter, I cut up my phrase and placed the puzzle pieces inside plastic eggs. First they had to find the eggs, then work together to solve the puzzle.)
This is an easy way to make something ordinary a little more fun...try it and let me know what you think!
