Step One (P1/P2 upwards)Whole Class: Give each child a blank 'treasure' map. Explain that they are going to be searching for treasure in the maze in pairs or small groups.

Step Two (P3/P4 upwards)Pairs/Small Groups: When they find each 'location' they are to mark (by drawing or writing) on their own maps where they found it. Remind the children of the bear hunt grid maps and help them relate the maps in front of them to the maze. When they have found all eight, they should take their maps to the teacher for a 'prize'/'gold star'/ or whatever else the 'treasure' could be.
