Oh, the game has begun! Yes indeed, yes indeed!
With riddles to follow and clues you must read!
Look high, look low, look under a chair,
The answers you seek could be anywhere!
A whisper, a wobble, a zig and a zag,
A hint in a pocket, a clue in a bag!
But hurry along — don’t dawdle or stray,
For time will come sneaking and slip fast away!
Find all of the clues before the clock chimes five,
On May thirty-first — arrive, arrive, arrive!
So open your eyes and sharpen your nose,
For where the next clue hides... well, nobody knows!
Down where the water goes gently along,
There’s a small little dam that was fixed up strong.
It holds back the stream in a tidy new way,
While ripples keep dancing and sparkling all day.
Take a close look as the water flows past
A little quiet wonder that’s built to last.
Warm little smells come floating your way,
From a cozy spot buzzing all through the day.
With tasty hot coffee and chairs out in the sun,
It’s a happy small place where friends gather for fun.
Sit for a moment or wander on through
There’s something delightful waiting for you!
Tick-tock, tiptoe, downtown you go,
To a place where curious treasures all glow.
Something there hums with a clickety sound,
While shiny small wonders are all around.
Peek very carefully, don’t rush on through
There’s something waiting to be spotted by you!
Roar to the playground where dinosaurs play,
With stompy big feet and tails that all sway!
Climb past the dinos so giant and grand,
And wander through footprints in soft, sandy land.
Keep searching around with your sharp dino eyes
There’s something exciting tucked under surprise!
Skip to the courtyard out front of the school,
Where 4K friends play and laugh and act cool.
With gardens all blooming in colors so bright,
It’s a happy little spot full of delight!
Peek by the flowers and wander on through
There’s something exciting now waiting for you!
Snip-snap, snip-snap, go scissors with cheer,
Where shimmery styles and smiles appear!
Brushes and bottles and mirrors that gleam,
With colors and curls like a bright happy dream.
Step quietly in with a curious view
There’s something special waiting for you!
Between two fields where the ballplayers run,
There’s a snacky little place full of summer-time fun.
With popcorn and pretzels and drinks cold as snow,
It sits where the cheers from both ball fields go.
Not too far left and not too far right
Find the concession stand shining bright!
By the lake where the soft breezes wiggle the trees,
There’s a bright happy patio perfect to ease.
With tables outside in the sunshine so sweet,
And a rumble of bikes rolling up to the street.
Find the spot where folks gather with drinks in the air
Your next little treasure is waiting out there!
At the park in the village where breezes whoosh by,
Near swings and slides that reach up to the sky,
There’s a bench for tired toes and a shade-loving spark,
With two proud little eagles keeping watch in the park!
They perch side by side where the happy kids play,
So flap yourself over — your clue waits that way!
Out by the church stands a big shady tree,
With a bench wrapped around it so cozy to see.
Its branches stretch wide like a great leafy crown,
Watching the people who wander through town.
Circle the trunk and look all about
There’s something cheerful to figure out!
