Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt Ideas

Easter hunts can be indoors or out ¿ and can be for kids or adults! There's no rule saying hunting Easter eggs has to look a certain way because you can make it anything you want. Here are a few ideas:

1. Traditional Easter egg hunt: Hide decorated eggs in an outside location for kids to gather into bags or baskets.
2. Indoor Easter egg hunt: Spring hasn't always sprung in all parts of the country by the time Easter rolls around, so having an Easter eggs hunt indoors can make it fun for everyone despite adverse weather conditions outside.

3. Speed egg hunt: Turn any Easter egg hunt into a fast-paced competition by offering a prize for whichever hunter can gather the most eggs in the shortest amount of time.
4. Nighttime egg hunt: Glow-in-the-dark plastic eggs and baskets can make an Easter egg hunt in the dark a fun and memorable experience.
5. Adult Easter egg hunt: Turn an Easter hunt into a party with check stations throughout the area with shots or other adult drinks for a silly and fun Easter egg hunt for adults!

History of Easter Hunts

Easter egg hunts are said to have originated in the late 1600s when Martin Luther started a tradition of having the men of the congregation hiding eggs for the women and children to hunt for. This was supposed to be a nod to the Biblical story of women discovering the empty tomb on Easter.

Queen Victoria later refreshed the practice of Easter hunts when she and her husband hid Easter eggs in baskets throughout the palace for their children to find, although they routinely did this activity on Maundy Thursday instead of Easter Sunday.

The late 1900s brought a resurgence of old traditions, leading to Easter hunts becoming popular once more. This is the period of time that made Easter egg hunts largely popular in mainstream society, and the period we can thank for making egg hunts an Easter tradition nowadays.
