The Birth of Riddle Hunts (A Hit With Kids)

The idea of clues to lead kids on a scavenger hunt started with Ron Clark. If they started with someone before him, sorry I didn't know! I am certainly not trying to claim the idea as my own, but I think the best name for them would be riddle hunts, so that is what I am referring to.
So with Ron's inspiration, I created a riddle hunt to go with the beginning of The BFG by Roald Dahl. What a hit! At the same time, another class in Louisiana was doing the same riddle hunt. They also had a great time. That got me thinking that maybe this riddle hunt would be a lot of fun for others, so I posted about it on my blog.
Next the hunt got picked up by Mrs. Goodwin in Indiana. Her kids had a blast, check it here:

Then Mrs. Goodwin posted her video on Twitter and it gathered another prospective classroom from Vermont.

This has spawned two important questions: Would you like to give the riddle hunt a shot too?

but more importantly....

How can we make more of these hunts and make them accessible to all?
