This fun and free printable Easter Scavenger Hunt is great for the whole family. A fun spin on your Easter Egg hunt ideas. Turned into a treasure hunt.
This Easter morning Easter Scavenger hunt is perfect for the kids and they will absolutely love it.
We love the idea of keeping the kids busy around the house after church on Easter. While the Easter bunny is hiding the eggs, we like to keep the kids busy with Easter scavenger hunt clues with fun Easter baskets contents and things that might be around the house or outside.
We highlighted this Spring Craft along with some other fun kid's crafts in our April Crafts for Kids along with our 101+ Easy Craft Ideas for kids.

Printable Easter Treasure Hunt
There is something about egg hunts and treasure hunts for the kids during Easter that makes it the season of hunts.
We love scavenger hunts and have a great Color Scavenger Hunt that is fun too.
What I love most about scavenger hunts is that it gives the kids something they can do on their own. As long as they can read each of the items listed (or in the case of the color scavenger hunt they simply have to understand the color) and then they are off.
How To Do A Scavenger Hunt For Easter
There are many different ways to set up a scavenger hunt for Easter. This fun easter game does not have to take place of your traditional Easter egg hunt, but can if you would like. This can make your Easter Sunday that much more HAPPY.
- We love the idea of placing each of the items in our list in a plastic Easter egg. Then place them around the house, and have the kids check off the items as they go.
- We have also placed them in plastic Easter eggs and then include them in their overall egg hunt.
- Not putting them in Easter eggs and placing around the house and check list as they go is fun too.
- Making it more of a clue as you go kind of scavenger hunt is fun way to hunt as well. You could add fun hints along the way for them to find the next one.
If you are going to hide in plastic Easter eggs, a fun way to keep track of multiple kids is to assign each kid an egg color and then they are only looking for their own.
That helps tremendously when there are age gaps in kids, then you can hide the older ones in more tricky places and make it easier for the younger ones.
What items are included in our Easter Scavenger Hunt
Here is a list of items included in our hunt. They can each be turned into fun prizes too.
- A decorated egg - Decorating eggs is also a fun activity for the kids prior to Easter if you are looking for things to keep them busy
- Jelly Beans
- Easter Grass - If you are anything like me, then this is the worst 🙂 Any type of grass can make for a check mark on this one for us.

Alternate Fun Easter Scavenger Hunt Ideas
There are a few different ways to use our Easter Scavenger Hunt. The fun things you can be great for both younger kids and older kids.
- You can of couse play the hunt as it is printed. Search for each of the items on the list and the first one done is the winner, and gets the grand prize.
- Another way is to cut up each of the items and use them as clue cards. Place the next clue near each of the items on the list. Have the children collect each of the items in different locations and place them in a basket and then at the end of the hunt they have a full basket of special treats.
- Another way is to place the printable scavenger hunt in a centralized location, like taped to the front door. Have each of the family members or children go out hunting for one item at a time and then run back each of the items. The best part is it gets them running and active.
