🕎 Hanukkah treasure hunt

Before you start

• Print the clues, fold each one, and hide it in the spot the clue before it points to. Hand the first clue to the kids to start.
• Important: play only when the menorah candles are out, or before lighting them. Never hide clues near a flame.
• Treasure idea: a pouch of chocolate gelt and a new dreidel for every child.

The clues

1. I've eight branches and one for the helper light,Look close beside me, but not while I'm alight!
2. We keep jam for the doughnuts in here, cold and near,Check on my door, among magnets, right here!
3. We show off the miracle to all passing by,Look on the windowsill, it's easy to spy!
4. Hot jelly doughnuts are served on a plate on me,Look underneath, there's a clue you will see!
5. After latkes and doughnuts, it's time for bed,Lift up the pillow where you lay your head!
6. The Maccabees marched over hills on their feet,Look by the shoes, where the pairs stand so neat!
7. Our clothes got all greasy from latke oil,Check on the washer, it's worth all the toil!
8. One tiny jar of oil burned for eight days and nights,Look under the sofa for gelt and delights!

The treasure

Chocolate gelt, a new dreidel and a little Hanukkah money for every child.
