Numbering the clues or/and eggs are essential to track the hunters, as they might want to disclose the clues not in an orderly manner.

3. Extra Help Needed

With spring, hosting an old fashioned yet classy Easter Egg Hunt, out in the backyard would be a fun and indeed a creative option. All the packaged treats and plastic eggs may be well hidden behind the fences or bushes or trees and even on your low roof lines. One has to hide them when nobody notices and not on the previous night since there’s a risk of animals damaging the treats. The prizes are to be distributed in unexpected places somewhere above the reach of children so that they can be awed by the hopping power of Easter bunny.

4. Puzzle with Color

Assign the children their own unique color of eggs, to be sure at the end of the game that each child fetches the same number (eggs). To make the situation of fun, convey the kids that there is only one color which they may search for: suppose, Gold. Now, hide one gold colored egg and who gets that golden egg will get a special prize.

5. Follow the Bunny

Let the kids hand deliver these. Sprinkle a small amount of baby powder to create paw prints all over the house. The kids will be asked to keep following the Easter Bunny and see how the hunt starts.
Before guests come, hide the eggs in easy as well as difficult places.

6. The Scavenger Hunt

Assign every family member the pre made list with several types of items like: two pink eggs, three a chocolate bunny, marshmallow chick, nickels in eggs and so on. The list is to be hunted by the members. Also, offer the final clue which leads the competitors to the Easter baskets. For those kids who have not yet learned to read, it is wise to use a drawn list instead.

7. Award Suitably for Making the Contest More Interesting

Award prizes for the eggs ought to be rolled with glitter or marked with special stickers. This will keep the kids challenged. Prescribe each kid a particular color to look for, or mark a limit as the number of eggs a child can collect in order to have no kid feel left out.
