Interesting Ways to Write Egg Hunt Clues
These fun ideas will make your Easter egg hunt one that the kids will
remember for years. Keep this list of ideas somewhere where you can
find it again next year and try one of the other ideas.
• Younger kids especially will love this Easter egg hunt. Write all
the clues as if they are personally from the Easter bunny. Use bunny
related words like “hoppy” for happy and give them action directions
like bounce, jump and so on that they have to do while looking for
their next clue. Have the Easter bunny sign each clue with a paw
print.
• Make a treasure map on a piece of cardstock. Cut it up like a puzzle
into pieces small enough to fit them into Easter eggs. Hide the eggs
the night before the hunt. When it is time for the hunt have the kids
find all of the eggs and open them together, then put the puzzle
together with tape and use the map to find their Easter treasure,
which could be their Easter baskets filled with goodies or another fun
gift. Make sure the treasure is hidden far away from the Easter egg
area so that one of the kids does not find it by mistake when looking
for eggs.
• For older kids this hunt idea is perfect because it is a little more
challenging and will make them think. Use nursery rhymes to give the
kids clues about where the next egg is hidden. For example you could
use, “Humpty, Dumpty sat on a wall and Baa, baa black sheep” to let
the kids know that the egg is hidden near a black wall. Be sure to
give the kids some sort of hint as to what words are giving them the
clue. If you make the clues on the computer you can italicize the hint
words or if you write them out by hand you can make them a different
color.
• In each of the Easter eggs put a piece of paper inside that has an
item that is in your home. For example you can put things like cookie
jar, T.V. couch, kitchen chair and so on. The kids must then go and
fin those items which will all have a part of a clue on them that will
lead them to their treasure.
• If you have younger children you can still do a scavenger hunt
Easter game by using pictures instead of writing out clues.
• Here is a fun idea that will work well with kids of all ages. Inside
two Easter eggs put matching candy, or a picture or a word. Do this
with as many eggs as you feel are needed for the kids attending the
hunt. Make sure that every egg has a matching pair. Now “hide” the
eggs by placing them in a type of grid on the grass. Have the kids
play memory. Let the kids take turns opening two eggs and seeing if
they are a match. When a player gets a match they get to keep the
pair. If you are playing with candy in the eggs that will be the candy
they get, if you are playing with cards with pictures or words on
them, have each picture or word correspond to a prize that the kids
can redeem at the end of the game.
