Below are clues created for an ANGEL SCAVENGER HUNT. These clues will have to be modified when used in any other setting, because they were made to fit a particular house and a particular group of kids. But most of them will work...
We used a special perfume that all the kids got to smell and put on at the end of the scavenger hunt as a "prize."
I think its best to present the activity as a cooperative effort instead of a competition. The kids work together to find the clues and share the prize at the end.
Questions and answers were adopted from the information presented in the book: "The World of the Noble Angels" by Omar Ashqar
