How to Make Your Own "Find It" Game

"Find It" is a simple game, requiring players to shake and twist a transparent tube filled with tiny stones, to find hidden objects. The hidden objects range from small action figures to nearly invisible paper clips, all of which are all listed on a separate paper, to help players track their progress. Making a "Find It" game of your own is a simple process; all you need is a large jam jar, small objects to hide and multiple colors of dyed rice.

Place 1 cup of white rice in a zipper storage bag, along with food coloring and 2 tsp. of rubbing alcohol. Shake the bag and leave the dyed rice to dry for at least six hours. Repeat the process until you have five different colors of rice.

Wash a large, transparent jar thoroughly to remove food odor. Glass jars are suitable for the task, but if you want children to play as well, transparent plastic jars are a safer option.

Place 15 objects of varying size in the jar. The largest object must not exceed 1 inch in length, while the smallest object can be as small as a penny or a pushpin.

Fill three-quarters of the jar with five different colors of rice. Close the jar's lid and shake the jar to mix objects with rice.

Make a list of all objects contained in the jar on several pieces of paper. Each player must have his own list, from which he can erase every article he has found.
