Most adults and older teens think that participating in an Easter egg hunt may be a little too childish. Well, we’ve come up with an Easter egg hunt for kids and adults alike to enjoy this Easter!

Hide eggs around your apartment community for kids to find. Place them in fairly obvious spots so the children can easily locate them. So what makes this hunt any different from any other? Well, here is where adults and older teens can participate. Have everyone split into teams; one adult/older teen per child. Everyone starts in one place, like the apartment community center, and the adults/older teens get a list of clues. Each clue lets the team know where to find an egg. Clues like ‘You’ll really break a sweat in here…’ (Answer: sauna/fitness center) or ‘You won’t be at FAULT if you hit it in the NET here…’ (Answer: tennis courts). Creating a thinking game for the older ones will make it fun while also allowing the children to collect the prize and candy!

Another idea I saw that I liked was having a checklist egg hunt. Have eggs that are different colors and give the adults/older teens a checklist of how many their teams need to accumulate to win. For example, 2 blue eggs, 1 orange egg, 4 yellow eggs, etc. For the younger children, they are able to collect eggs as they learn math and colors.

These are just a few ideas to help you come up with some creative Easter egg hunts in your apartment community. Do you have any you’ve done that you suggest for others? Let us know. I’m sure all our friends would like to hear!
