Easter Scavenger Hunt

The materials needed are as follows: any number of plastic eggs, paper, pen, yard and a lively group of kids that are ready to play a fun and exciting Easter game. 

This game is played like the old yet still fun game scavenger hunt. All you do is hide all the eggs in various places in the yard. You put a different clue in each egg giving directions on where to find the next egg clue. Use a designated color egg for each child or team. The last egg clue will say where a prize can be found. Some prize ideas might include: stuffed bunny , money, small toys, chocolate egg or bunny, or easter basket full of different goodies.

To start the game out give the kids a starting clue and their designated egg color. Then you just sit back and enjoy watching the kids entertain themselves. 

 

Nosey Egg Roll

Line kids up on a clean floor. Have a relay race with kids rolling eggs only with their noses.

Capture the Egg

Instead of playing the old favorite "capture the flag" try "capture the egg!" Give each team an equal amount of eggs 4 - 6.
