Easter Egg Relay
There’s nothing like a good game and competition to get everybody riled up and get them in high spirits. With this in mind, why not consider doing an Easter egg hunt relay this year?
Here, participants are divided into groups amongst themselves. The mechanics of this relay are pretty simple: one member goes out to search for an egg and comes back to their team. Another person is sent out to find another egg, then returns to the team once again. This cycle goes on until the last member of the team finds an egg. The first time to have each member find an egg wins.
For this Easter egg hunt idea, all you have to do is to split the participants into groups. The number of people in each group and the total number of groups will depend on the number of participants. The general rule is: the more, the merrier!
Once you have had your groupings down, then you can start the countdown and let the relay begin!

Magical Easter Egg Hunt
Kids secretly wish there were some secret spell to escape chores or eating vegetables. Well, what if they had just that? One Easter egg hunt idea you can give a go is the magical Easter egg hunt containing “spells”.
These spells can range from “skip cleaning for a day” to to “stay up for an extra 15 minutes”. This is a good alternative to the sweets and candies that are usually inside Easter eggs. You can also make the creation of “spells” a bonding activity where the entire family takes turns writing down their personal “spells”.
The kids will definitely be looking forward to finding those eggs and casting those spells!

Easter for all ages
The fun in an Easter egg hunt is not limited to just kids — grown-ups can get in on the fun too! For Easter 2019, you can make sure that both children and adults have their dose of fun!
This idea is basically still an Easter egg hunt, but its difference with other community Easter egg hunt ideas is that instead of kids having a free-for-all egg hunt, they will all have to work together. Why? Because the adults are teaming up too! In this battle between different ages, the team with the most number of eggs wins!
It can also be done through having coded eggs (i.e. solid-colored eggs for kids, striped eggs for adults) where you will be putting the eggs meant for adults in harder-to-reach and harder-to-find locations just to even out the playing field.

Easter Bingo
B-I-N-G-O, bingo! Nothing beats the feeling of that declaration of triumph. It’s no wonder that everybody loves a good game of bingo. So why not change it up this year and put bingo into the mix.
Just replace the contents of the eggs with the numbers and letters for bingo, and you are good to go!
