[Chicken on a mission]

Hi Everyone.

 

Having been a member of this forum for a short while now, I have come to conclusion that we have some very talented poets

 

Ever since our daughter was old enough to talk we have always composed short rhymes for christmas and birthdays so that our monster has to follow the clues to find her present.

 

She loves it and all us adults love to join in and help too.

 

The problem is that I have run out of rhymes and she is only only 3 1/2

 

Can any one help out with some simple rhymes we can use to direct her round the house and garden to find her easter egg.

 

If anyone can I'd be grateful

[Guest]

Can you give an example of what you would like?

[Guest]

Do you mean things like:

 

Go round the chairs, then up the stairs...

[Chicken on a mission]

That's the sort of thing chookie

 

She does rhyming now so I tend to read out the clue and not say the last word which she has to guess to tell her where to look

[Chicken on a mission]

Bless, she's just come up to me with something stuffed down her princess dressing up dress saying she's got a baby in her tummy

[AnnieP]

Surely princesses don't do that kind of thing!!

[Chicken on a mission]

She must take after her father

[AnnieP]

OK: So you need household objects that rhyme, like telly and welly?

 

This could get interesting!!!

Smell some poo? It's past the loo....

[Guest]

Its green ... where the chookies are seen.

[Chicken on a mission]

It smell some poo it's all over the back garden so make sure you don't step in it

[Guest]

You are getting hot .... look in the plant pot.

[Guest]

No, not on the windowsills ....... maybe near the daffodils

The only plant in our garden is a eucalyptus tree. We were planning to cut in some flower beds but I don't think the girls would leave the flowers alone if I did

[Chicken on a mission]

This is how bad things are and why I need your help.

 

 

 

Follow the clues in good time

Remember these clues will all rhyme.

 

Getting clean and having a laugh

Your first clue can be found in the …

 

For the second clue you will need to sprint

Up to the place where the computer prints

First put your wellies over your socks

'Cos outside you go to check the nesting box

Our girls have not touched our daffs which really surprised me

[Mel (& Paul)]

go to the place where the woggles wee

you know, the eucalyptus ......

[AnnieP]

Do you think this poor child will enjoy our toilet humour?

Once again, wee and poo dominate another thread!

[Mel (& Paul)]

And so, our work here is complete

[Sheilaz]

I like Mel's, very good, you can do a treasure hunt for Paul.

COAM, I don't think I'd get the 2nd clue, so very hard for a 3 yr old. I like the general idea though, & will have a think....

......washing up, what do you think?

it's all piled up in the kitchen xxxx

 

sorry, your sink is prob. clean & empty, it would work in my house.

 

I've always done a treasure hunt, I love them, ....and the children are relieved when they find the treasure

But, I don't use rhymes.

Just very corny clues & puns.

Perhaps rhymes would be more enjoyable for my family
