Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt by Color with Rhyming Clues

Some Easter egg hunts can be brutal...but they don't have to be!

This egg hunt is designed to challenge groups to work collaboratively to find all the eggs. It can also be modified to be played by only one person.

It can be done outside or can easily be modified for an indoor hunt by selecting different rooms for each color. If you want to make an indoor hunt even more challenging, hide various colors in all rooms. Be creative and have fun!

When preparing supplies, gather solid colored eggs that are white, black, blue, orange, pink, green, yellow, and purple. Look over the clues and determine which clues to leave out if you do not have all the colors listed.

Directions

If you plan to have teams competing against each other, determine how many eggs of each color that you have and divide each of those numbers by the number of teams. Record those numbers and divide by the number of teams. For example, if you have 10 orange eggs, each team should collect 5 orange eggs, etc. Give each team the list of how many eggs of each color they should collect.

Provide directions to participants before starting...

Decide if you are going to give points, such as 10 points for each egg collected correctly or if you are going to have rounds in which the team that finds all of their designated eggs first wins that round. Decide if you plan to subtract points for incorrect colors or if a team collects more than their allotted number.

Hide the eggs while the egg hunters are doing something else.

Have the teams pull up this game and click on the first graphic below to enlarge.

The team must determine which color to hunt (and how many of that color if you have teams) before they can begin collecting eggs. The colors will rhyme with the word in blue on each slide. Provide hints if needed. The correct answer follows each clue on the next slide.

Have the team work together to gather only eggs of that color until they have found all of them.

I hope you enjoy this Easter egg scavenger hunt by color with rhyming clues!

Free Virtual Easter Egg Hunt #2

 Here's another free virtual Easter egg hunt just in time for Easter on April 4, 2021. This one is especially for those who couldn't get enough of the outdoor egg hunts, who couldn't make it to an outdoor hunt, or didn't have an egg hunt available in your area.

How to do the egg hunt:

1. Click on the first photo below.
2. Look for one egg in each picture and click on it or use the thumbnail to advance to the next picture.

Some eggs are easier to find than others, so I've included a clue with each photo description if you need a little help.

Easter Scavenger Hunt With Rhyming Clues

Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt With Rhyming Clues

This Easter treasure hunt offers some fun variety combined with solving riddles, hunting Easter eggs, and finding a hidden message! My three daughters, ages 11, 9, and 5, enjoyed this scavenger hunt with lots of surprises along the way.

You will need Easter eggs in multiples of 12 up to a total of 48 eggs and one basket for each child or team of children. This scavenger hunt may be played with one or more children and is well suited to indoor or outdoor play, depending on the weather and your own needs. You can vary the difficulty of the game through your choice of hiding places for the eggs.

While the children are in another area...

1. Print the 12 rhyming clues and cut on lines. (Click on the images below to enlarge and then use File - Print.)
2. Print answers to the clues if needed.
3. Print any or all of the color-coded EASTER SUNDAY cards and cut on lines, placing one letter inside of each Easter egg.
4. Hide the Easter eggs.

When the children return...

1. Read the clues and ask for answers - arrange the kids on teams or call on children individually. (I had my three children to take turns so that each would answer four clues.)
2. After all clues are answered, give directions about the number of eggs each child should find. For example, I have three children and hid twelve eggs, making the limit for each child four eggs.
3. After the kids find all the hidden eggs, have them open the eggs to discover the hidden message. If you have printed more than one color, have the kids sort the letters by color first.

While playing this game, the kids can learn about teamwork, colors, counting, reading, rhyming, and perhaps a few new things about Easter.
