Easter Hunt Ideas

Looking for Easter Egg hunt Ideas that will create memories and be fun for the entire family? After a few years of hiding chocolates we realized we wanted to do something more for our kids. With our kids learning problems we did a lot that would work on reading and later we focused on math and science since they loved that so much. We started compiling the ideas and always looking for free printables to make them easier. Here are some of the best ideas we found.

If you have a sense of humor and want an Easter Egg hunt idea that your teens will have fun with, here’s an idea that makes them work for their money, rather than just handing them over money. Pick some challenge ideas your kids will have fun (or make a fool out of themselves) trying. Do an interpretive dance, do 30 burpees, wash dad’s truck or wear your clothes backwards are a few. If you really want to get them, offer $10 for licking your own elbow… you could even say $500 because they won’t be able to do it, but it can provide hours or entertainment watching them try!  You can use these FREE printable cards to write your challenges.
