Avast ye scurvy dogs, not so fast. Where der ya think ye be goin'. The holidays not be over yet. There still be plenty of time to share yer treasure with captain kids who have no booty of their own.... nor even a ship to sail on to call home.
So grab ye one of them thar Christmas Stockings and fill it with 12 items, one for each day of the twelve days of Christmas. We be delivering them on January 5th -- that be the final day of the Christmas season, and a day when most kids'll be thinkin their holiday luck and loot have already run run out.
Well don't just sit there.... start collecting yer 12 bits of treasure to share... scoot! Or I'll be tying ye to the mizzen mast!
And be sure to stop by ye olde Facebook page to tell of yer victory... there be a pint of grape grog waiting fer ye there.
Avast ye scallywags, there's treasure to be found... and shared!
What could be more fun than a Scavenger Hunt? How about a Treasure Hunt? Better yet, how about a treasure hunt where you can share your treasure and excitement with others? That's what Shared Treasure Hunt is all about -- kids helping kids, specifically kids delivering treasure to other kids who don't have much in the way of treasure of their own, let alone a place or home to put it in.
You too can join in the adventure by participating in our Black Jack Friday event. Just collect 21 items to deliver to a homeless child around your own age on Friday Nov 25, 2011.
You may go door to door in your neighborhood, ask your parents to put up a flyer at their office, post on Facebook.... any and every way you can think of to collect the best goodies possible. Please try to include one item from each of the following categories, if you can:
