Egg hunts are a traditional element of many people's Easter celebrations. Children will enjoy searching for eggs around the house and in the backyard. Egg hunts are very popular and are part of many festivals hosted by the town. The White House also hosts an Easter Egg Roll every year.
There are many ways to make your Easter egg hunt more fun and productive for participants of all ages.Try these “amazing” ideas
• Designate a clear hunting area. Young children can get frustrated searching for eggs in a large area. Set parameters for the search area that can be managed according to the age of the children participating. If you are in a large garden or field, tape the perimeter of your search area.
• Change the prize. Candy, candy, and more candy seems to be the name of the game at Easter. But eating too many sweets can lead to stomach pain for young Easter celebrants. Instead, mix up the prizes in the eggs. Some eggs may contain candy, some may contain money, and some may contain small toys. Another clever idea is to combine an egg hunt with charades. Put charades prompts inside some of the eggs so kids can have even more fun acting out what's written inside the eggs.
• Special bonus eggs. Hide one egg that gives the finder the chance to receive special honors. This might include getting your first slice of holiday ham or being able to choose a movie to watch together as a family after dinner.
• Label eggs with fairness. If you have kids of a wide range of ages, label the eggs with their names or use a color-coded system to help everyone find the eggs equally.
• Keep a master list. It's hard to remember where each egg is hidden, so make an up-to-date list of where the eggs are or take a photo of your hiding spot with your phone. That way, you won't find chocolate-filled eggs full of ants in the summer.
• Create a custom basket. Children will need something to carry the eggs. Before the egg hunt, decorate bags and baskets with Easter decorations and create custom creations.
Easter egg hunts are a time-honored tradition. The opportunities for fun are endless if your family makes a plan.
