Chalk & Chuckles Smart Sticks Scavenger Hunt Game – 50 Sticks, 100 Prompts, Indoor & Outdoor Fun for Ages 4-12

The Chalk & Chuckles Smart Sticks Scavenger Hunt game is a run-around activity for kids ages 4 to 12 that comes with 50 wooden sticks (100 prompts), a spinner, and a portable tube. Designed for 2 or more players, it offers three ways to play and works indoors or outdoors—at home, school, parties, or on trips. The first player to find the object on the stick and win 5 sticks takes the game.

How the game works

Spin the spinner to get a prompt, then search for an object that matches it on your stick. The first player to spot the object wins that stick. Keep playing until someone collects 5 sticks. Simple rules mean you can start within seconds.

What’s inside the tube

• 50 illustrated wooden sticks (100 individual prompts)
• 1 fitted spinner
• 1 easy-to-carry storage tube

Three ways to play

The game includes three distinct gameplay variations, so it stays fresh even after repeated rounds. Whether you’re at a birthday party, on a camping trip, or just passing time at home, you can adapt the pace and difficulty.

What makes this game different

Each stick features adjectives that encourage creative thinking—players look for objects that not only exist but match a descriptive word. This builds vocabulary, observation, and cooperation. The game meets ASTM child safety standards and uses soy-based inks, so it’s safe for little hands.

Is it suitable for all ages?

The recommended age range is 4–12 years. For younger children (ages 4–5), adults can read the prompts aloud and give them just one stick at a time. Older kids (ages 8–12) can handle the full game at full speed.
