CLUE CONFIDENTIAL ENVELOPE CLIPART HOW TO
It's fun to watch the kids try to figure out how to solve it. The first clue is one word stretched so tall that it's difficult to read. (More about them under each clue.) Here's a sample clue order for one group. Before the hunt, give each group a bag of clue decoders. The last two clues should be the same for everyone so that they all end up in the same place. Just prepare a set of clues for each group and put them in different orders. You can divide the girls into more than one group if you wish. Warning: if you do set up your maze against a gym door (or any other door to an open area), be sure to put a taped X across the door on the other side to keep people from opening the door and ruining your lasers. If you can find two doors across from each other, that will really help. That gave us the door and door frame to use for more secure taping. We set up our maze in the hall outside a door to the gym. If you are setting up the maze in an LDS church building, the carpeted lower half of the walls can present a bit of a problem, but the tape will stick to it. When the activity was over, the girls did it over and over!) (This is seriously the kids' favorite part. While they're on their hunt, they'll have to navigate the lasers in order to find one of their clues. When you design your hunt, strategically place a laser maze (created with red yarn and painters tape) across an area the kids will need to travel in order to find a clue. The main activity is a treasure hunt (in spy fashion) to find the envelope containing the secret service mission instructions. We did, however, find a way to incorporate this laser maze into our secret service mission. Unfortunately, it's winter around here, so we had to skip the obstacle course. If it's summer and you have plenty of time for your activity, you could copy this idea from my daughter's spy birthday party and do a quick spy training obstacle course.
CLUE CONFIDENTIAL ENVELOPE CLIPART CODE
Once the kids have their code names, write them on their ID badges, and it's time to start the activity! Secret Service Spy Training You could even start with the list of animals and have the kids brainstorm the qualities to include. The quality is the first half of their code name, and the animal is the second. To choose their code name, the kids pick one name from each bag. Put the words from each list into two separate bags or hats. Unless you want the kids to create their own code names, try this fun and easy activity: Make two lists - one of animals or spy-type creatures, and the other of positive qualities of a person. I am including these in the printables at the end of the post, but they are a lot easier to create digitally. If you have time to text the parents to get photos of the kids, Secret Service ID badges are a must! (Even if you don't have time, the kids could draw pictures of themselves for the photo.) I printed them for the kids without code names so that we could choose code names at the activity. If you don't have time to mail or pass out the invitations, just fill out one invitation, take a picture of it, and text it to the parents. I'm including this spy training invitation in the printable at the end of the post. The activity will still be fun without them. If you are like me and sometimes fly by the seat of your pants when it comes to planning ahead, there are a couple of activities from this plan that you might need to skip: Invitations and Secret Agent ID badges. If you are good at planning in advance, of course you'll want to draft your girls into the Secret Service by sending them a cool invitation to your activity. We have a huge group of girls, so a church building was perfect for us. If you want to do this activity, it will work well in someone's home or at a larger location like a church building. For that reason, it was cool to change up our usual routine and do something that allowed the girls to run around a little bit. Just like boys that age, they have a lot of energy and they love to be active and figure things out.
Working with 8-11-year-old girls is really fun. RELATED: Spy Birthday Party Ideas: Spy Mission and Clues, Spy Training Course, Spy Birthday Party Invitations I've got you covered with all the plans and printables, complete with clues, invitations, and training ideas. This activity would also be perfect for girl scouts or any other youth group for kids about age 8-11. The kids loved turning into mini-spies, and they had so much fun! If you want to create a secret service mission of your own, be prepared for lots of giggling and general silliness. I just had the most fun night with my Activity Day girls! To get the girls thinking about serving others, we drafted them for the secret service, gave them some spy training, and sent them on a hunt (complete with spy clues) to find the instructions for their secret service mission.
