Getting Acquainted Game – Family Treasure Hunt

1. Find two people who traveled over 200 miles to the reunion:

2. Find the mother with the most children.

3. Find the oldest and youngest persons.

4. How many children did Grandma Minnie have?

5. Find three people who married into the family.

6. Find three children who are currently on a sports team (soccer, baseball, etc.)

7. What country did Grandpa Moline come from?

8. What relative used to work on a fishing boat?

9. How long has the Whitmore farm been in the family?

10. Who has written a book?

This is a good game for kids because they can go with their lists in hand and ask the adults who are chatting without causing too much interruption. Of course, you can tailor your questions to fit your family fabric. Keep it to between 12 to 15 requests, so it only takes about 30 minutes to complete.

Are you having or attending a family reunion soon? What would you like to do at a reunion? Would you like to see more posts about reunion?

I really love this idea, especially for kids! What a great way for them to learn more about their family members, and maybe a little more about their heritage.

At our family reunions, we give door prizes for people who have traveled the longest and shortest distances, as well as for youngest and oldest attendees. It’s a lot of fun.

I think this would be a great idea for kids of all ages. Going by the reunions I have been to, everyone is interested in learning more about each other. Especially when the older cousins haven’t seen each other for a long while.

Its hard to get kids to learn more about their heritage especially if you have moved from another country. Our four kids seem to be more interested in their video games. However, engaging the kids like this just might do the trick! THANK YOU.

These are great ice breaker questions for a family reunion. Fantastic idea the “family treasure” hunt.

This is a great idea to get kids more interested in family history, and for the older members of the family to brush up on it! It’s kind of like “family reunion trivia.” I like it!
