A rhyming unicorn treasure hunt for ages 3–7. Read the story, hide the clues around the house and let the rainbow riders follow the trail to the rainbow gem. Here are free clues to start with, and a printable version with your child’s name and your own hiding spots.
Read this out loud before the first clue. It turns “go find some cards” into a mission.
A Rainbow Message
Hello, Rainbow Riders!
It’s me, Stardust the Unicorn! This morning I was sliding down the rainbow when I sneezed a great big sparkly sneeze. Whoosh! All of the rainbow’s colors popped off as shiny gems and bounced away in every direction.
Now the rainbow is gray, and the whole sky looks sad. I followed the sparkles and left eight Rainbow Gem cards along the way. Each one has a rhyming riddle that tells you where to look next.
Rainbow Riders are kind, gentle, and great at taking turns. Work together, give a happy neigh every time you find a card, and follow the trail to the very end, where a magical surprise is waiting!
Your first Rainbow Gem card is attached. Giddy-up, riders!
Sparkles and neighs,
Stardust the Unicorn
Write each riddle on a card and hide it at the answer to the clue before it. The first clue goes in the kids’ hands after the story.
Oh no, Rainbow Riders, our rainbow’s gone gray!
Find every gem and we’ll color the day!
A gem! Hear it jingle! The rainbow can glow,
Now gallop along, there are more gems to go!
One gem is left, and it’s glowing so bright,
Find it, and the rainbow will shine with delight!
