Easter time is on the way! Consider these tips for getting your pastels
on. These nifty and simple suggestions
can help make your children's Easter time fun and special. Ask children the things they love
most about Easter time and you are prone to
get 1 of 2 responses: "the
chocolate" or "the hunt for eggs on Easter Sunday".
Easter Time Egg Treasure Search:
You can reach an entirely different degree of
excitement and fun towards the standard Easter time egg search by
developing a unique "rabbit trail"
of clues which will guide your son or daughter to one egg after another. As bait and to keep them going, use a
generous basket of Easter trinkets at
the end of the hunt as the ultimate prize in the final hiding spot.
Start the hunt with crafty personalized
letters addressed to each child and
signed by the Easter Bunny. The
letter should have a slight clue to get them
going. For example:
"Happy Easter Day, Little
One! The sun is shining but my last
night rounds were super exciting. I hopped, hopped, hopped around and dropped a
few eggs which I need help finding. If you find them all, who knows what treats
there will also be! Grab your Easter basket, get ready to run,
and look for clues to find your
fun! What do you need to be able to run? Something that might go on your FEET?
Oh, maybe that's the ticket to STEP towards your next treat!
Enjoy your day and your
hunt! Hugs and Kisses from The Big
Bunny"
You can then put an egg in a
shoe or a rain boot that is perhaps hidden behind the porch steps (which would be the best answer to the first
clue in the letter). From here, keep hiding eggs and writing more clues
that go with the hiding place and make a
funny trail. When you get to the end of
your hunt, make certain that the last hiding
space is big enough to truly hide the giant Basket. If you want to do this game as part of an Easter picnic or
party, you could leave a sneaky trail of chocolate bunnies instead of Easter Eggs.
If you want some assistance with
writing your trail of clues, you can easily find terrific treasure search game firms online
that can offer play-ready printable
search games. These print outs are ideal for an Easter hunt where most
of the egg clues would be found inside
of typical areas of the home, kitchen, or yard.
Easter Time Word Scramble: A
variation on an egg hunt would be to have a
secret message hidden inside plastic Easter eggs which must be
unscrambled before running to the next clue. To start this game, again write the
children personalized letters from the
Easter Bunny that has instructions for the game. For example:
"It's A Special Easter Game
for You, Little One! It was such a busy
night hop, hop, hopping about, hiding
all those eggs which must be found quickly. Unscramble some words you will find in your eggs in
order to take you to the next place.
If you do this right, you might
find a super special Easter treat in the very last space!
Good luck! Hugs and kisses from
the Big Bunny"
Come up with the first clue
word, write it on colored paper and cut up the letters into individual squares that will give them
something to unscramble. Make the letters large enough so that they won't be
easily lost, but will still fit inside of the
plastic egg. You may wish to use
one color of paper for one word and a different
color paper for the second word if you have two word location clues
like "BATHROOM SHOWER". Place the next egg there with a new clue to
next location. Again make sure that the final hiding place
with the Easter Basket is large enough
that they won't see their surprise until they have worked through the word clue game all the way to the
end. The eggs may then be put at random at home just like any regular egg
search.
It always possible to take any
traditional Easter game and make it special for
your own family. Take lots of
selfies with your kids such that they will remember the fun for many years from
now. Happy Easter Egg hunting to everyone!
