Easter Egg Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt
A bigger and better Easter egg hunt for older kids.

As the Cornell family from Florida grew up they found that the kids were too young to enjoy a regular Easter egg hunt. but yet they still wanted to keep the tradition...
“Now we involve the entire neighborhood in a more complex scavenger egg hunt. And the kids love the challenge! Even the kids returning from college participate!"

Preparing for an advanced treasure/egg hunt takes some time so enlist other parents and neighbors to help.

First, on slips of paper, you’ll need to write the clues and the treasures to collect, which you will then hide in plastic colored eggs throughout the neighborhood.
For example …Team 1 finds only green plastic eggs. First, they have to find a green egg marked with # 1. Then, inside that egg is a slip of paper which provides the object they need to acquire and  a clue for where egg number 2 will be.

Example:
Find a wind chime and then search for egg number two …(include a clue to find egg #2).

Divide the neighborhood kids into two or three equal teams and tell them what color and how many eggs to find and send them on their merry Easter way. But first be sure an adult is supervising each group (if the kids are younger) and the neighbors agree to participate. You don’t want kids roaming the yards of unsuspecting neighbors.

The team that finds all of their eggs and treasure items first wins a big basket of goodies to share. The basket could include items like movie money, gift cards, money,  books, candy etc. The other players can be rewarded for the efforts with smaller treats.
