This. Maybe put the entire circle-alphabet in different colors, then have a coded message the next time in colors rather than symbols? It's more difficult but still not too hard for an 8-yr old; they're used to trying to find patterns and can recognize different color/shade patterns as well as anyone. Treasure hunts, riddles, all this stuff is cool as all get-out, but it's so hard to toe the line between too challenging and not challenging enough. Any combination of the above would work well, like riddles that lead to certain places, each having a symbol left behind, such that when the letters are jumbled correctly they spell the location where something awesome is hidden. I dunno, it really all depends on your son's abilities and proclivities; my brother at 8 would have loved word jumbles but they would have made 8-yr-old me confused and frustrated. e: pandafan posted:bury dat cat! dromar fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Apr 8, 2008 |
