How to Make a Scavenger Hunt for Easter 

1. Decide if you are going to have the treasure hunt indoors or outdoors or both indoors and outdoors.
2. Download the ready-made easter egg hunt clues printable. Each card is available as an image or a PDF file. If you don’t like the ready made version then use the blank cards and the clues below. 
3. Print the clues for indoor and/or outdoors on paper or card stock. There is a color version and a black and white version for each. The black and white version is useful if you don’t have a color printer or want to save ink.
4. Cut out each clue.
5. Hide the clues in the relevant places. We have made an effort to use scavenger hunt clues that will be applicable to everyone. In the unlikely event you cannot use any of the different clues then either skip that clue or create a new clue using the blank clue cards. You can also use the blank cards when you want to create an egg hunt in a different place such as an Easter scavenger hunt for Kindergarteners. Some of the ready-made clues won’t be appropriate but you can type more appropriate clues on the blank typeable clue cards to complete your egg hunt.
6. You can mix the order of the cards besides the first card and last card. The first card starts your little scavenger hunt and the last card with the last clue is the end of the hunt.
7. At the end of the treasure hunt, you might want to hide small prizes for all participants (such as chocolate eggs) and a bigger prize for the person who found the treasure or small prizes for everyone. For younger kids, it is best to give everyone the same prize even if they didn’t find the treasure.
8. When you are ready to start the activity, give the participants the first clue.

Easter Scavenger Hunt Ideas

Easter scavenger hunts can be a fun and exciting activity for kids and even adults. Here are some creative Easter scavenger hunt ideas to make the event enjoyable:

• Egg Hunt Clues: Create a series of rhyming clues that lead participants from one location to another, with each clue hidden inside a plastic egg. The final clue should lead to a special Easter basket or prize.
• Color-Coded Hunt: Assign each participant a specific color, and they must find eggs or items in that color throughout the hunt. This can add an extra level of challenge and excitement.
• Puzzle Pieces Hunt: Divide a picture into several puzzle pieces and hide them in eggs or around the area. Participants must find all the pieces and assemble the puzzle to reveal the final location or clue.
• Alphabet Hunt: Hide eggs with letters written on them. Participants must collect the eggs and unscramble the letters to spell out the final location.
• Bunny Tracks Trail: Use bunny footprints (cutouts or drawn with chalk) to create a trail leading to various hidden treasures or clues.
• Picture Clues: Instead of written clues, use pictures or illustrations to guide participants to the next location.
• Blindfolded Hunt: For an added challenge, blindfold participants and guide them verbally to find hidden eggs or clues.
• Nature Scavenger Hunt: Incorporate the Easter theme into a nature scavenger hunt, where participants must find specific items related to Easter (e.g., flowers, bunny-shaped leaves, etc.).
• Easter Egg Riddles: Write riddles related to Easter on pieces of paper and place them inside eggs. Participants must solve the riddles to find the next hiding spot.
• Reverse Hunt: Instead of finding eggs, give each participant a list of Easter-themed items they must collect and bring back to a central location.
• Memory Hunt: Display several Easter-related items for a short period, then cover them up. Participants must remember and write down as many items as they can recall.
• Time-Based Hunt: Set a timer, and participants must find as many eggs or clues as they can within a specific time frame.

Remember to consider the age and skill level of the participants when planning the Easter scavenger hunt to ensure everyone can fully enjoy the activity. Happy Easter hunting!
