How to Play

  1. Gather the Fairies
    Have the children stand or sit in a line with their hands behind their backs.

  2. Choose the Fairy Seeker
    Select one child to be the Fairy Seeker. This player steps away or turns around so they cannot see what is happening.

  3. Start the Fairy Charm
    Give the charm or small treasure to one child in the line without the seeker seeing.

  4. Pass the Magic
    While the fairy seeker is turned away, the children quietly pass the charm from hand to hand behind their backs.

  5. Call the Seeker Back
    After several seconds, call the Royal Fairy Seeker back to face the group.

  6. Make the Fairy Guess
    The seeker studies the players and chooses who they believe is hiding the ring.

  7. Reveal the Magic
    If the guess is correct, the child with the charm becomes the next Fairy Seeker. If the guess is wrong, the same seeker tries again in the next round, or switch the seeker up every time to give more people a chance and a prize for the child that actually does guess it.

This simple game creates lots of giggles as players try not to give away who is holding the fairy treasure.
