Community Easter Egg Hunt!
Hey girls. So I'm coordinating the first annual community easter egg hung! ( we just had a community center open in our area...ran completely by volunteers!- therefore...no real funds!) I figure some things are a given.....divide egg hunting in age groups, have some stations to do sack races, egg toss, etc. We're raffling off a few Easter-themed cakes, serving cake and punch. Hopefully will have a visit from the Easter bunny for some photo ops. Any suggestions on other things to do or how to make it go smoothly? Thanks!
Re: Community Easter Egg Hunt!
hide all eggs "in plain sight" but in places you have to look to find. You want to tell the kids that they do not have to tear anything apart to find eggs, that they can see them all just by looking around.
do not do what my rec center does - throw all the eggs on the gym floor and have a pinata like scramble. Hands get stepped on and slower or less aggressive children get nothing.
This. Or have them go at different times but the sectioning usually works best.
I might have some eggs at the end too so that when kids are done they can come up to a table get one for participating this way the slower shyer kids can get an extra.
I also remember participating in one as a kid where there was a start and finish line. So each area was roped off and they tried to move kids through. It also served the extra purposes of making sure no one entered before they were ready to go, and no kids wandered off and got lost or the older kids got into the smaller kids' area.
Tea Time for Lulu
The one around here has a limit on how many eggs you can turn in. They use plastic eggs with small prizes in them like erasers, candy, plastic rings, etc. Then you get a raffle ticket when you turn in your eggs and there is a drawing with multiple prizes. This way you get the eggs back in good condition and can reuse them next year.
On what not to do, another one has eggs that are marked for the big prizes and that is where kids seem to get trampled. If you fill the eggs, I would try to keep the prizes as equal as possible. You don't want kids opening the eggs and putting back the ones that aren't big winners.
