Free Coronation Treasure Hunt
Celebrating the coronation of King Charles III is a great opportunity to teach children about history, tradition, and the monarchy while having fun and creating memories! Why not kick things off with a coronation treasure hunt!
This royal-themed treasure hunt can be used at any time but we think it would be an especially great way to build up to the Coronation on Saturday 6th May. You could use our ready-made clues to guide children to find their treats to watch the ceremony with!
We’ve created all the royal-themed clues for you so that all you will need to do is print them and hide them – download your ready-made coronation treasure hunt below!
NB: You will need a crown of some kind to hide your ‘treasure’ in – whether that be sweets, a toy or royal regalia! – if you don’t have one lying around, you can easily make a paper crown.

How to pomp up your coronation treasure hunt!
Royalty is known for it’s long-standing tradition of pageantry and pomp! So why not pomp up your treasure hunt. Here are some ideas…
- Provide royal dressing-up clothes for the children to put on with the first clue,
- Put your clues into golden or fancy envelopes or stick them to the middle of A4 paper and roll them into scrolls.
- You could be the King! Sit on your throne wearing a crown (your treasure could be hidden here all along!) and issue your subjects with their first clue. Children then have to bring the clues back to you for reading.
- Add an extra royal challenge to your treasure hunt – add a letter to the back of each clue for children to arrange into a word to earn an extra treat.
