Easter Egg Hunt Ideas: Glow-in-the-Dark, Color Coded & Special Prize Egg Hunts
Hiding Easter eggs and Easter baskets around the house can get awfully repetitive, and families might start running out of hiding spaces. Luckily, there are plenty of other ways to have an Easter egg hunt.
Instead of having the game indoors and during the day, bring the Easter egg hunt outside and at night time. To do this, some artificial lighting will be needed to keep the eggs visible at night. The best way to do this is by loading plastic eggs with small glow sticks. They can be rolled up and stuffed inside the plastic eggs. Make sure to activate the glow sticks before starting the hunt.
Another fun take on this theme is to use glow-in-the-dark paint. Have your hunters equipped with flashlights and they'll be good to go, according to Kids Activities Blog.
To keep all kids hunting for Easter eggs happy, assign each kid a color to hunt for. Make sure there is an equal number of eggs per color. At the end of the hunt, each child will have the same number of eggs.
Make an Easter egg hunt extra rewarding by putting special prizes inside. In a few of the eggs put simple things like candy. In other eggs, put slips of paper with personalized reports in them. For example, a reward of "no chores for a week" could be put into one of the eggs. Or there could also be little items, such as stickers, which will easily fit inside the egg, according to Martha Stewart.
Get more people involved in an Easter egg hunt by incorporating the neighborhood. Contact neighbors and select a time to have a neighborhood-wide Easter egg hunt. Make sure to have enough eggs and prizes for the big crowd.
Create a "golden egg" hunt. For this, place one special egg in a very difficult hiding place. Place pieces of paper inside the other eggs giving clues to the golden egg. Have kids work together and try to find the golden egg. Reward the children with candy once they find it.
