Start with the story

Read this out loud before the first clue. It turns “go find some cards” into a mission.

A Bunny Message

Hello, Bunny Helpers!

It’s me, Clover, the Easter Bunny’s littlest helper! This morning I was hopping the basket of golden eggs to the Easter Bunny when I tripped over a carrot. Boing! The basket flipped, and the eggs rolled away in every direction.

The Easter Bunny needs every golden egg back before the big Easter parade. I hopped after them and left eight Golden Egg cards along the way. Each one has a rhyming riddle that tells you where to look next.

Bunny Helpers are gentle, quick and great at sharing. Work together, give a happy hop every time you find a card, and follow the trail to the very end, where a sweet surprise is waiting!

Your first Golden Egg card is attached. Ready, set, hop!

Hoppy hugs,
Clover the Bunny

Questions

What age is a easter scavenger hunt for?

This hunt is written for ages 3–7. Younger kids follow the picture on each card while a grown-up reads the rhyme; older kids can read the clues on their own.

How many clues should a scavenger hunt have?

Six to ten clues is the sweet spot for ages 3 to 8. It takes about 15 to 25 minutes, long enough to feel like a quest and short enough that nobody loses interest.

Can I do this hunt in a small apartment?

Yes. Pick spots in every room and zig-zag between them. The apartment trail below uses eight spots every apartment has.
