Easter egg hunts: cool ideas for children's quests

Any excuse is worth using to make a child's life more interesting and to get their brains working. An Easter quest is a great activity for everyone.

Interestingly, both toddlers and teenagers love to hunt for Easter eggs, although the latter do not always admit it. The level of complexity of the Easter game and partly the prizes that the children will receive depend on the age of the child. If there is more than one child in the family, it makes sense to agree in advance how to divide the eggs found - equally, or everyone takes the ones they found. And also - do not forget to count the eggs before hiding them, and ideally - write down the places where you will put them.

Ideas that you can find on the Internet don't have to be used literally, it's great if they awaken your enthusiasm and creativity. Come up with interesting and fun adventures for your kids yourself - believe me, these memories will stay with them forever.

PRIZES AND GIFTS

You can hide real eggs in different places of the apartment (or room, or house), and both chicken and quail eggs - this will be more difficult. A mandatory condition - the eggs must be hard-boiled in advance, and ideally also painted. In this case, the prize will be the pleasure of the find. And if you use chocolate eggs or plastic collapsible eggs instead - here the imagination can run wild. It's great if in each egg, for example, the kid finds a Lego fragment, having collected everything, he can build something.

IN THE RABBIT'S FOOTSTEPS

This quest is suitable for children up to 5-6 years old. Cut out round and oblong “rabbit tracks” from white paper, draw arrows on them and use double-sided tape to stick them near the places where the eggs are hidden. On the paths in the yard, you can use chalk, washable paint, or spray paint.

FOR THE YOUNGEST

For children under 3-4 years old, a standard search may be too difficult - the baby may not even immediately understand what is wanted from him. An interesting idea with gel-inflated balls - tie an egg to the ball, you can wrap it in foil to make it hold better. Place the eggs in several places in the room, and the ball tied to them will show the child where to look for them.

TREASURE HUNT – TEAM GAME

This activity is suitable for older children, and from 2 to as many players as you want can participate. Your task is to purchase plastic collapsible eggs, prizes and gifts for all the children. On thick paper and cardboard, draw a map where the treasure will be hidden - something with gifts for everyone. Then cut the map into pieces of any shape (you get a puzzle), arrange the fragments with eggs and hide them in different places. When the children find all the eggs, they will put together the puzzle and find out where the treasure is hidden.

This game can be played by one child, and the level of difficulty depends on the age of the treasure hunter.

MAPS AND HINTS

The quest can be organized for both toddlers and older children. Little treasure hunters need to be helped in their search, but given the opportunity to think for themselves. The places where the eggs are hidden should be easily accessible, and the clues in the form of pictures should be clear.

For older children, the task should be made more difficult – not just mark places on the search map, but encrypt them in the form of riddles or rebuses. A great idea is a sequential search – having found an egg, the child finds a clue in it to find the next one.
