Getting a Clue

This scavenger-style hunt is another great option for older kids. It will take them longer to complete and requires more thinking and there’s less mid-hunt snacking. Before the big day the Easter Bunny begins his research, thinking about what clues or tasks to include in the hunt. (Simple math equations that tell kids how many steps to take, inside jokes and funny riddles work well.) Next, the clues are organized in an order that makes sense and numbered. On Easter morning, he’ll lay out the clues in their respective spots, beginning with a bedside note that asks kids to follow the hints to find their reward—and, of course, it’s always signed by the Easter Bunny.

TIP: Typed and printed clues are preferred for legibility and to keep kids off his scent.
