Easter Egg Hunt Ideas

So it's Easter Sunday tomorrow! For those of you needing ideas for your own Easter Egg Hunt, you have come to the right place!
I thought i'd put my plan for the trail that i'm arranging for my younger brother and sister up on my blog, just so you can get some ideas on rhyming etc.
The best advice I can offer is to make it fun, and understandable for the kids age... dont use really long and complicated words if a five year old is going to be reading the clues!

So here it is- Seb and Ashlyn are my younger siblings BTW

Easter egg trail

You will need:
  • Ashlyn and Seb
  • Two baskets/ pouches to put clues and mini eggs in
  • Mini eggs
  • Plastic egg cases to put mini eggs in
  • 2 hint cards
  • Hints for each clue in envelopes
  • 3 boxes (1 red, 1 blue, 1 yellow)
  • 2 Easter eggs (final prizes)

Each ‘explorer’ will have a basket or pouch with one hint card in to help them out if they have difficulty in answering a question; they will also keep their Easter eggs in this place while on the trail.

If an explorer wishes to use their ‘hint card’, they will receive an envelope, and inside, there will be a cartoon drawing of where the next clue will be.

Start – corner of conservatory
Welcome to the Easter egg trail,
You each have a hint in case you fail
But use them wisely, you only have one,
They will help you answer questions and let you have fun.

In the garden, your first clue can be seen.
It’s very tall and has leaves of green.
Birds like to sit and nest in me,
What am I? I am the…

Clue 1 – on the tree
Stay outside for clue number 2
It is hidden, with some mini eggs too!
At the bottom of the garden I lie
Made from rocks and plants am i.

Clue 2 – in the rockery
Why don’t we all go for a spin?
The next clue is in the kitchen.
Watery clothes go round and round
There are lots of nice things to be found.

Clue 3 – in the washing machine
Rubber duckies make you laugh,
Eww, your filthy – go take a…

Clue 4 – in the bath
Cartoons, films and comedy
You sit on the sofa, when you watch me


Clue 5 – TV
For the next clue, get on your knees
Go into the dining room and see beneath.

Clue 6 – under dining room table
When Ashlyn and Seb, have had their play
This is where toys are stored away.
This one may be tricky, its at a great height!
Go through the front door and turn to your right.

Clue 7 – by the side shed door (front)
On the patio, you’ll find your next clue,
Look underneath me, be sure you do!
Run as quickly as you are able,
To the big, wooden, outside…

Clue 8 – underneath the outside table (the clue is tapped underneath the table, but when they find this we will bring out three small boxes and place them on the table, the left is blue, the middle red and the right one is yellow)
So here it is – the final test
The challenge that will end the rest.
Inside one of these boxes three,
Is your ticket, the winning key!
It is not in the box the colour of sky,
Or the box that lays closely by.
Now young Ashlyn and Seb my good fellow!
The box that your looking for is…

When they open the yellow box, they will find 2 tokens (a prize each) they must give these to Granddad Peter in exchange for Easter eggs.
