The Money Tree Treasure Hunt

This treasure hunt was a popular one!  When my kids were younger, I typically gave them a gift on the first and last day of school.  However by the time they were in middle school, I was running out of ideas - plus they were all about the money (money).

Since I have two kids, I simply picked out two different trees in the backyard.  After deciding how much money to give them, I just clipped it to the low hanging branches of the trees (using little binder clips from any office supply store).

When they got home from school, I brought them to the backyard and handed them each an envelope with this message inside (either handwrite it or retype it into a word processing program and print it out):


Trees grow fruit and trees grow leaves,
But money is neither one of these.

Don’t give up and you could find,
A tree full of money that’s one of a kind!


Once they figured out the clue, they ran from tree to tree until they noticed one with money in it.  They had a grand time collecting their cash!

Note: Remember how much money you put in there, because it does kind of blend in!

Fun for all ages!  This would be great for a birthday, too (even for your spouse)!
