TPS Task 9 

 

An Indoor Treasure Hunt

 

Here is a list of clues about ordinary indoor objects. You can copy and/or print them to save time.  You may also use these clues as inspiration for your own list. You can hide the clues beforehand in each location and that way the children have to find the next clue at the correct location. That makes the game last longer, gives them more exercise, and adds to the fun.  You can upload your answers and/or take pictures for every clue or individually.

 

As this is a long task, we will give you the rest of the weekend to complete. Enjoy!

 

 

  1. I have four legs, but I don't have feet.  I come in handy when it’s time to eat
  2. My job is to put an end to sleep, Which I do with music, a buzz, or a beep.
  3. For fast heating or cooking, I am tops.  And, oh, that good smell when my popcorn pops!
  4. I’m packed really full of different things. I may hold a broom or a mop or a range of things.
  5. Flour and sugar and coffee and tea, I keep these handy but hard to see.
  6. I can take you to places you've never seen. But first type your password in on my screen.
  7. I’m loaded and unloaded, but I'm not a truck.  Having a helper like me is a great piece of luck.
  8. I rain on you when you need a scrub.  I'm very much like my friend the tub.
  9. I make it possible to have fresh food.  Everyone agrees I'm one cool dude.
  10. Watching your favourite is lots of fun.  But don't watch too much! Kids need to run.
  11. I never get angry but I do get hot.  I'm the perfect place for a pan or a pot.
  12. It's my job to give all your clothes a tumble.  Which I do while making a bit of a rumble.
  13. I have a round knob and also a lock.  Visitors and salesmen may give me a knock.
  14. I’m one part chair and one part bed.  Up with your feet and down with your head.
  15. I take your clothes for quite a spin. But first, they get wet. That's how I begin.
  16. I’m filled with feathers or other soft fluff. To sleep without me can be quite tough.
  17. Turn me on and I'll give you a light.  I'm used some in the daytime but mostly at night.
  18. A story, they say, can take you away, But a book still needs a place to stay
  19. I have drawers and also a nice flat top. For homework I'm helpful -- Keep working. Don't stop!
  20. I’m hungry! I'm hungry! Please feed me a slice.  I'll spit it back out all brown and nice.
  21. I’m not a selfie, but I do show faces.  Find me in bathrooms and a few other places.
  22. Adults like this when they first wake. And at other times when they need a break. 
  23. Most every day, you step on me.  All I require is a bend of your knee. 
  24. You switch me on and I get really hot.  Then you see steam, sometimes a lot.
  25. I’m paper, but I'm not used for writing a letter. The spot by your potty suits me much better! 
  26. I have hands but no arms and also a face.  And my hands always move at the same steady pace.
  27. I may have eyes but I really can't see.  People love to make fries out of me.
  28. The more I dry, the wetter I get.  A little one can be used for soaking up sweat.
  29. I hold all the words you need to know. Use me to make your vocabulary grow. 
  30. I’m never wicked, but I do have a wick.  I come in all sizes, from skinny to thick.
