How to Create an Egg-stra Special Easter Hunt

Easter is a time of fun, excitement, and sweet treats, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a well-planned Easter egg hunt! Whether you're organising one for a school, community event, or a family gathering, making it extra special requires a bit of creativity and planning. Here’s how you can create an unforgettable Easter hunt that kids will love…

Step 1: Choose a Theme

Adding a theme can take your Easter hunt to the next level! Instead of just hiding chocolate eggs, why not create a magical adventure? You could have a bunny detective hunt, a springtime nature trail, or even a golden egg quest where children search for a special prize. A theme can tie everything together, making it more engaging for participants.

Step 2: Plan the Route and Hiding Spots

Consider your location carefully. If you're indoors, use different rooms or areas to create a journey. If you’re outside, a garden, park, or playground can provide plenty of exciting hiding spots. Mix up the difficulty levels so younger children can easily find some eggs, while older ones have a bit more of a challenge.

Step 3: Add Clues and Challenges

Instead of a simple ‘find and collect’ hunt, add an extra layer of excitement with clues or challenges. You could:

• Write simple riddles leading to the next location
• Include physical challenges like hopping like a bunny to reach the next clue
• Incorporate learning elements, such as answering a fun Easter trivia question before getting their next hint

Step 4: Use PTS Personalised Stickers and Stampers as Clues or Keepsakes

Make your Easter hunt even more memorable with PTS Personalised stickers! These stickers can be used in different ways throughout your event:

• As clues: Instead of written hints, children could collect a series of personalised stickers that reveal a secret message or final location.
• As rewards: Each child could receive a personalised sticker, with a fun Easter design, at the end of the hunt.
• As part of a game: Hide stickers along the way and challenge children to collect them all. Whoever finds the most could win a small prize!

For an extra fun element, you could also use a personalised 10mm stamper at each checkpoint along the route. Children can stamp their own Easter hunt card as they find each clue or complete each challenge. This adds a sense of achievement and encourages them to reach every stage of the hunt!

Step 5: Offer Exciting Prizes

Chocolate eggs are always a favourite, but consider alternative prizes such as small toys, activity books, Easter-themed stationery, or personalised items like bookmarks or badges (PTS Personalised can help you with these). These can add an extra special touch and create a lasting memory.

Step 6: Get Everyone Involved

Easter hunts aren’t just for kids! If you have a mix of ages, create roles for older children, such as clue-holders or ‘Easter bunnies’ who help guide younger participants. You could also include a craft station for decorating eggs or making bunny ears.

By adding a little creativity and some personalised touches, your Easter egg hunt can be egg-stra special and one to remember! 🐰
