Treasure/Easter egg hunt clues/riddles for children

kardarie

Have decided to host hunt for kids but wanted to do it by clues etc. It's gonna be aimed outdoors has anyone any good clues or riddles stuck for about 6/7. Thanks

Example: you don't have to search very far the next one is where you park the car.

Search the Bible for 'Chocolate' or 'Bunny', the first to get it will win some money!

Put them in the middle of the motorway.

Survival of the fittest.

Lovely idea! We were also looking at the Easter treasure hunts in Dublin and they are quite dear for a larger family. I checked Pinterest and it offers some nice suggestions like these -

I usually just drop the kids off at Harrods and let them shop for a while.
It's usually a big hit with them.

Going doin it diy at home myself. Gonna get the plastic eggs too this looks great. It's the clues riddles I'm struggling at making up?

Just find the places to hide the eggs and throw rhyming clues together yourself. It's quite easy and I do it here every year. It's much more difficult to try to amend existing riddles to where you are putting the eggs. Kids are quite forgiving with these things.

In the driving seat?

Just hide them in relatively straighforward but not completely easy place and let them search.

Beware of a well-meaning but Viz Modern Parents scenario where all the adults are slapping themselves on the back about how didactic and challenging the game is while the kids have a chocolate goo on them and secretly want to kill you.

I imagine it's a reference to the utterly safe car park. Sure, nothing could happen with a bunch of kids running around one of those.

Easter Egg hunt?

When did this codswallop come on our shores?
No such think back in my day.
Just a day to eat as many chocolate eggs as possible with getting a pain in the belly by the end of it.

My kids and grandkids have always done it. We started about 40 years ago.

I'm pretty sure easter egg hunting has been around almost as long as Santa and the tooth-fairy.

Yeah, I hate these new-fangled Pre-Christian fads.

Easter egg hunts have been recorded back to the early 16th Century. So, you are right. It's very far from a new phenomenon.

Hard to keep a chocolatey fanny clean I'd say.
