Matching PictureTreasure Hunt
by Charlotte
(UK)
When each child arrives, give them half of a photo/picture which has been cut diagonally (Old birthday/Christmas cards are great for this). The pair to their picture is hidden somewhere around the room or house and they have to find it. This is a great ice breaker as the older kids will often find their pairs first and want to help out the others.
You can also do far more pictures than there are children and put them into two teams to find as many pairs as they can.
You can also cut each picture into three or four pieces, give a piece to one person, another piece to another, and hide the two left pieces around the house. Then when the game starts, each person has to find the other person with the same piece of picture, and then together they can go out and look for the two other pieces to create a whole.
