Description

Bring the Wild West to life with this printable cowboy treasure hunt ages 6-7. This ready-to-play PDF kit combines 10 clue-based puzzles, a stagecoach robbery, and a suspect investigation in an easy-to-organize activity for birthdays, classrooms, family time, or a cowboy-themed event.

The Stagecoach Attack – Printable Cowboy Treasure Hunt Ages 6-7

A stagecoach carrying a valuable load has been attacked on the road to town, and the money has vanished.

The sheriff has seven suspects, but the clues do not yet reveal who is responsible. To restore order in the Wild West, children must take charge of the investigation and find the missing loot.

Young detectives follow a trail of 10 puzzles. They read short clues, examine details, use logic, and record their discoveries on the investigation sheet. Each solved challenge allows them to eliminate an innocent suspect.

As the evidence builds, the list becomes shorter and the truth comes into focus. By the end of the treasure hunt, the players can identify the bandit, recover the stolen money, and complete the sheriff’s mission.

This version is designed for 6- and 7-year-olds, with accessible reading, age-appropriate reasoning, and puzzles suited to 1st and 2nd grade learners.
