Easter Egg Hunt Trophies
Make everyone feel like a champion by giving out trophies at your egg hunt! Create awards for different categories like most eggs collected or most determined egg hunter. Reward your whole crew and make the event even more exciting!
Easter Eggs By-The-Numbers
Put different numbers from 1-10 on a piece of paper in the eggs, hide them, and when everyone has their basket of eggs, have them add up the numbers inside. The kid with the highest total wins!
Find Egg Color
For a unique spine on egg hunting, opt for colors that camouflage well wherever you’re hiding eggs. Whether it's a green egg in grass or a blue one by the blue pot, enhance the challenge and excitement of the hunt.
Easter Egg Relay Race
Divide the kids into teams and when you say go, the first kid from each team searches for an egg. Once they find one, they tag the next teammate to continue the search. The first team to collect the specific amount of eggs wins as a team, and everyone gets their own basket of goodies!
Glow In The Dark Egg Hunt
Hunt in the dark with glow-in-the-dark bracelets hidden inside plastic eggs for a fun twist on Easter egg hunts!

Hunt For The Golden Egg
Spice things up by adding a golden egg to the Easter egg hunt! The lucky finder will receive a special bonus, whether cash, a new toy, or a fun perk like staying up late for a week.
Puzzle Egg Hunt
Change up the Easter egg hunt by filling the eggs with puzzle pieces. Once the kids find all the eggs, open them up and start piecing together the puzzle. If any pieces are missing, encourage the kids to keep hunting for the remaining eggs. When the puzzle is complete, they will know they have found all the hidden eggs.
