Family Night Treasure Hunt

By Denise Page

Instructions: Hide your family home evening treat, then draw a map showing the spot where it’s hidden. Mount the map on a piece of cardboard, cut it into fifteen puzzle pieces, and put them into an envelope or sack. At family night, take turns answering the questions from the Treasure Hunt Questionnaire below. Let the family members look up the scripture references to check or find the answers. For the correct answer(s) to each question, a puzzle piece can be selected. After all the questions have been answered correctly, have the family members put the puzzle together and then find the treat!
