Looking for a twist on the classic Easter egg hunt? Check out to these creative alternatives to the classic seasonal activity and host your own Easter egg hunt. Be sure to check out this adorable Easter Basket Die-cut Invitation by Picture Perfect.
HOP IT FORWARD
Teach children the spirit of giving with an Easter egg hunt geared toward raising money for your favorite charity. Encourage neighbor kids to empty their piggy banks, contribute a dollar or two and then hide the money raised inside of Easter eggs. At the end of the Easter egg hunt, have prizes for the kids who raised money for charity by collecting the most eggs. You can also get parents in on the fun by having them match (or increase) their child’s donation.
EASTER EGG SCAVENGER HUNT
Set up various points around the house (or party space) with baskets full of Easter eggs. Inside each egg, have a clue or riddle leading kids to the next basket. Have prizes for the kid who collects an egg from each basket first.
DIY EASTER EGG HUNT
Got a creative bunch of kids? Fill plastic eggs with stickers, stick-on earrings and other decorative items. Let the kids search for the eggs within the party space and then use the collected items to decorate eggs that have been pre-dyed for the party.
EGG-HEAD HUNT
Don’t relish the idea of kids running around? Host a quieter, more intellectual, version of an Easter egg hunt with a game of trivia. Reward kids for each correct answer with an plastic egg. At the end of the game, have a prize for the Egg head with the most points (or in this case, eggs).
EASTER EGG RELAY
Remember the relay games where you balance an egg on a spoon and hope it doesn’t fall, break and leave a yellow mess on your shoes? Have all the fun, minus the mess with an Easter Egg relay. Substitute plastic eggs for the real thing. Divide the party guests into two teams and then send them on a TIMED Easter egg hunt within the party space. Then allow each team to use the plastic eggs they have collected in a relay. Once an egg is dropped, it is taken out of play. Give prizes to the team that can get the most eggs across a finish line, without running out.
We hope these ideas inspire you to get creative with your own Easter egg hunt. Feel free to submit your own ideas by commenting on this entry.
