Easter Scavenger Hunt Ideas for All Ages

How do you make Easter fun? A guided Easter Scavenger Hunt is a fun way to twist up the classic Easter Egg Hunt tradition.  With our 20 at-home scavenger hunt clues, hop through the house with Easter-themed clues using rhyming riddles.

There are a few different ways you can handle this Easter Treasure hunt. Have an Easter egg with candy at each location, have a fun little treasure or treat with your clues, or save a big Easter basket for the end of the Easter bunny treasure hunt.

Use scavenger hunts at easter with the following age groups.

• Toddlers and Preschoolers: Younger children may need help reading the clues. Pair younger elementary-age kids with an older sibling or adult for an exciting bunny hop from one location to the next. Add interactive fun by encouraging them to “hop like a bunny” or “wiggle their noses” between clues.
• Tweens and Teens: Older kids can enjoy more challenging riddles and tailored prizes like money, gift cards, or small gadgets. This ensures they stay engaged and excited about the hunt.
• Adults: Why let the kids have all the fun? Create a grown-up scavenger hunt with clues leading to treats like gourmet chocolate, mini wine bottles, self-care products, or even lottery tickets.

Let’s elaborate!

Easter Scavenger Hunt for Toddlers

These Easter Scavenger Hunt clues are very appropriate for preschoolers. If you have a child who cannot read an adult or older sibling can help them read the clues and solve the Easter Scavenger hunt riddles. Have them get silly hopping like a bunny to each new location.

Easter Egg Hunt Clues for Older Child

As a mother of five, I know the older kids tend to be left out of the treasure hunt fun especially when it comes to your outdoor Easter egg hunt. Apparently no one likes to see a teen with an Easter egg basket out racing young kids. While the little kids can delight in the outside Easter Egg treasure hunt fun, allow your youth and tweens to enjoy an at home Easter Treasure hunt. Fill the teen eggs with only something they would love like make-up, new phone chargers, fuzzy socks, sour candy, or even money!

Easter Egg Riddles for Adults

Gift your spouse some inner childhood Easter fun. Use these Easter egg hunt riddles for adults instead of the kids. Fill plastic eggs with fancy candy one would never share with the kids. Alternative Easter Egg fillers for adults could also include mini alcohol bottles, socks, tie, self-care products, or even lottery tickets.

Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt

What about a fun twist? Try this alternative to Easter morning. Another fun way to twist up the traditional Easter Egg hunt is with glow in the dark eggs. You can buy glow in the dark eggs or make your own DIY glow in the dark eggs. Pair with your treasure hunt clues for a fun adventure and prize after the sun goes down.

All of these fun Easter ideas can be a scavenger hunt with eggs or without.

Easter Scavenger Hunt FAQs

Do I have to use all 20 Easter Scavenger Hunt Clues?

Not at all! Tailor the hunt to your space and audience. In the scavenger hunts with clue cards, you can split these Easter Scavenger Hunt clues. For example, if you don’t have a flower pot or the freezer is not a place you want your child to go, omit that treasure hunt card. In the Easter Story scavenger hunt, try to eliminate as few cards as possible as it tells the story of Easter with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

What are fun Easter Games?

Scavenger Hunts make fun Easter games for groups or inviduals. You can find similar content and more fun Easter game ideas. These include Easter Minute to Win it Games and Easter Party Games.

Who is this Treasure Hunt Appropriate for?

These treasure hunts can be used with toddlers, young kids, teens, and even adults. The riddles would be geared to a child, but there is no reason that an inner child cannot have fun with the Easter activity too. Pair older kids with younger kids that cannot read or solve riddles.

Do you use Easter eggs in this hunt?

The use of Plastic Easter eggs and the amount of prizes is up to you. Have an Easter egg with a treat at each clue stop or have a large prize at the end of the treasure hunt. Adapt to what works for your home, family or Easter party guests.

What are good prize ideas?

Candy is a classic choice, but mix it up with small toys, trinkets, or experience-based prizes like “movie night” or “pizza party” coupons. For example, keep it simple and prize ideas can include candy – just like your traditional egg hunt. To twist it up and personalize your hunt. Fun things to put in Easter eggs are money, stickers, socks, rings, necklaces, erasers, and small trinkets. One alternative is experiences. Write on a piece of paper like popcorn night, pizza out, go to the movie theater, etc. Your child can trade in their coupons throughout the ear for entertainment events with mom or dad. These are things you might otherwise do, anyway.

When is a good time to have a scavenger hunt?

There are many times of year you can host a scavenger hunt. Our favorite is the Birthday Scavenger Hunt leading your child to find a birthday present at each stop along the away. Also look at the Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Camping Scavenger Hunt. See more here.
