If you will be entertaining children (your own or others) this Easter, could you use some unique and fun Easter Egg hunt ideas? One of the most fun activities for children on Easter holiday is to do an Easter egg hunt. There are many variations of the traditional egg hunt and how it can be performed. If you want to mix things up a little this year or if you’re simply out of ideas at all for an Easter Egg hunt, here are some tips and ideas we have tried over the years that we hope you may enjoy as well.
Here are some fun Easter egg hunt ideas for you to consider with the children this Easter:
1. Find the Easter Basket: Instead of just leaving the Easter baskets out for the children to find, consider leaving a trail of eggs with clues inside to help them find their surprise from the Easter Bunny. You can adjust the clues to be age-appropriate.
2. Scavenger hunt- Turn your egg hunt into a scavenger hunt with riddles and clues and more. Have special prizes for the children when they complete their scavenger list.
3. Stuffed Eggs- Use plastic eggs with small prizes inside for the children to find such as stickers, temporary tattoos and more. This is also a great idea if you don’t want to (or can’t) fill the eggs with candy.
4. Color coded eggs hunt- Try color coding the eggs so that each egg found of a certain color corresponds to a specific toy or prize.
5. Egg Notes- Hide plastic eggs with special notes inside. They may be clues for what the child needs to do to get a prize such as “sing a song to Mom”.
6. Odd and Even Eggs- Place numbers on the eggs and give the kids instructions to find only the odd or the even numbered eggs. Each child will only be able to get eggs with the number they were assigned to.
7. Find Your Egg- Before the hunt begins, place the name of each child inside an egg (or write it on the outside of real eggs) and then tell them the first person to find their own egg gets a special prize.
8. Checklist of Eggs- Make a checklist for each child (similar to the scavenger hunt) that tells how many eggs of each color they should find. Offer special prizes to the first to finish their checklist of eggs.
9. After Dark Egg Hunt- A good game for older children or even adults is to wait until the sun goes down and search for your eggs in the dark. Give each participant a small flashlight.
10. Indoor Egg Hunt- If you’re worried that uncooperative weather may ruin your Easter egg hunt, you can consider an indoor egg hunt this year.
You may or may not use these ideas for your own Easter egg hunt this year but we hope that whatever activities and festivities you have planned, you have a very happy, fun and safe Easter!
