No Easter party is complete without a egg hunt. Whether you are
planning a kids Easter party or a Easter party for teens the
following ideas will make a memorable party.
Steps
- Decide on the time and date: First you need to
decide on the day and time on which you want to throw the Easter
party. Remember on the Easter day itself people have family dinners
and gatherings to attend. Selecting the day before Easter should be
good option. The best and most commonly opted option is for late
morning or afternoon. If you are planning to host the party on
Easter Sunday, opt for an afternoon event.
- Design an Easter Egg hunt according to the age
group: The Easter egg hunt is perfect for any age group.
However, when throwing an Easter party keeping the age of your
guests in mind is a good idea. If you have kids in your guests list
then hide the Easter eggs in places they can reach. For toddlers
you can spread the eggs in the lawn. For older guests you can hide
the eggs on trees, in bushes, or a top car tires.
- Easter Game locations: Deciding on the Easter
game location is again an important part. If you are planning to
conduct th the Easter game in the lawn or yard have a backup plan
ready in case the climate stops being friendly. If hosting a block
or neighborhood egg hunt, you may also consider spreading the hunt
over several adjacent yards, or even hosting in a nearby park. If
you are planning to have the egg hunt game indoor make sure that
you remove all the furniture before hand so that the kids won't get
hurt. And spread the eggs in such a way that the guests do not mess
up the entire house.
- Setting up the boundary: Setting up the
boundary for the game beforehand is necessary. Otherwise For
example, with an outdoor hunt you may set the boundary as the
backyard and no eggs will be hidden beyond the fence.You will want
to communicate the boundary to the children participating. All of
this will help keep everyone in the same area and will help with
safety.
- Make a list of all the hiding places: It is a
good idea to have a list of places where you will be hiding the
eggs. With the list you can go about hiding the eggs or the clues
in a planned manner. While the hunt is on the list would come in
handy to direct children to some of the unfound eggs.
- Prizes: Hide some special "jeweled eggs" or
"golden eggs" with special prizes. If you have different age
groups, you can give instructions that only the young age group can
find the "red jeweled egg", and the older age group can find the
"green jeweled egg", etc. Announce a "hard luck" prize at the end
of the hunt for the child who finds the least number of eggs.
Tips
- Keep hidden eggs far from electrical outlets or plugs.
- Do not hide eggs in holes in tree trunks or the ground.
- Hide eggs at or below the eye level of your children.
- Do not hide eggs around fragile, glass or breakable items.
