Christians celebrate Easter to mark the day when Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity, after being crucified, rose from the dead. According to the Christian beliefs, this resurrection of Jesus Christ signifies the freedom of mankind from death and sin. Easter is celebrated on a Sunday, every year, between the calendar days of March 22 and April 25. There are various traditions associated with Easter, and presenting each other with Easter eggs is one of them. In earlier times, eggs were boiled along with flowers or leaves, to give them a different color, and then presented to friends and family. Nowadays, Easter eggs made from chocolate or plastic, are placed in the Easter baskets, which are presented by the parents to their children. In order to make it more fun, some parents plan an Easter egg hunt for their children too. Below are some creative egg hunt ideas for kids, as well as adults, which will surely make the Easter day special for everybody.
Number Bumper
Add a little bit of math to the celebration. To conduct this, you would need a few plastic eggs, chits of papers, on which different numbers, ranging from one to ten have been written. Place these different numbered chits in the plastic eggs and place the eggs at different places in your children's room, the night before the Easter. When your children wake up, ask them to find the different Easter eggs. Also, tell them that whatever numbers they find in the eggs, they will get chocolates and candies equivalent to that. So, if a kid finds eggs with numbers one, three and four in it, you add up the numbers and give him eight chocolates or candies.
Prizes For All
If you do not want to plan something time-consuming, then one of the simplest hunt ideas is to hide a few plastic eggs in which notes that mention a particular gift, have been placed. When the kids trace a particular egg, ask them to open the note in it and read out the gift mentioned on it. When you handover the gift, which they just read on the note, to them, be it a toy or a bunny, the smile on their faces when they receive it will be unmatchable.
Name is the Game
