Teen Photo Scavenger Hunt Game Printable Checklist 

Easter is fun when your kids are small. You might think the fun ends as they get bigger, but in my opinion holidays can be even more fun with older kids.

An Easter Hunt for Tweens and Teens

All you have to do is tweak your traditions so that they are fun for older kids too. So instead of a traditional Easter Egg Hunt, why not put a twist on it with an Easter Photo Scavenger Hunt??

Teen Photo Scavenger Hunt Game Printable Checklist 

This is a fun idea for teens because most teens have phones with built-in cameras. And you can break people up into teams, so if you have kids that are too young for phones you can pair them up with teens or adults who do have phones with cameras. Another idea you can use if you have people without access to phones with cameras, is to use Instax cameras.

No Preparation is Necessary for This Fun Photo Hunt

All you have to do is give each team a copy of this outside photo scavenger hunt game and let them scour the neighborhood. Once they find an answer to a clue, they simply take a picture of that clue. I also am going to hide eggs throughout the neighborhood, especially around clues so the teams can be on the lookout for eggs too. I found the cutest bunny bags – pink and white for the teams.

Photo Scavenger Hunt is Fun and Kids Have Photos to Remember

And once the teams are all back you can go through the photos to see what the teams came up with!! The fun part of this is your kids (and their friends) will have fun photo reminders of their scavenger hunt adventures.

Print the Photos Off and Add Them to Your Albums!

You can also print the photos off and give them out or even put them in inexpensive photo albums as a party favor. I will put ours in our Family Home Photo Book – where I keep track of all the fun things we do as a family.

You Can Give Out Different Prizes So Everyone Wins

Also, once the teams are back and you have all looked at the pictures, you can give out Easter Prizes. You can give everyone the same Easter prize OR you can break out the teams into different category winners. Such as:

• A prize for the team that gets back the fastest.
• A prize for the team with the most creative photos.
• A prize for the team with the silliest photos.
• A prize for the team that finds the most eggs.

Here is the Printable Teen Easter Scavenger Hunt Printable Checklist. Just right click on that link and print it off. It’s only available for a short time, so grab it quick!!

Celebrate Easter with a Kids Outdoor Easter Scavenger Hunt! Your kids and teens will love running around the neighborhood solving clues and collecting a basket of awesome prizes. All of the instructions and free printable clues are included to make it simple for you! 

Kids Outdoor Easter Scavenger Egg Hunt

Easter is coming up fast and it’s one of our favorite holidays to celebrate. We ALWAYS have an Easter Egg Hunt. As my kids have grown older our Easter Egg Hunt has evolved into a scavenger hunt – which is perfect for kids AND teens! We hide eggs and prizes all over the neighborhood with clues which make the hunt more challenging and even MORE fun!

Printable Clues for Kids Easter Egg Hunt

This year I am adding another element to our hunt – COLORS. To make things easier to prepare the Scavenger Hunt, each kid gets their own color. The clues are the same color as the eggs and the basket.

Print off the free Printable Scavenger Hunt Clues

I made printable clues in cute Easter Egg patterns. The clues are items that are found in ANY neighborhood – a sign, a door, a hose, a trash can, a tree, a fire hydrant, etc.

All you need to do is print off the clues on colored card stock – a color for each child that will be participating in the hunt. And don’t limit the fun to kids, adults would enjoy this too! You can customize your hunt with the prizes. Then cut out the egg clues and put them in matching egg colors.

Put the Clues in the Same Colored Eggs

Each basket will be filled with the same color eggs. Like this one!

Fill Clue Baskets with Prizes

And speaking of prizes, we found some awesome ones! Walmart has a wide-variety of toys, plush animals, and prizes for kids, teens and adults. As well as an amazing assortment of fun items that I knew our kids would LOVE. The thing I love about Walmart is the quality and prices. I can find brand-name items at great prices. And the selection is exceptional.

Hide Clue Baskets Outside

At each clue destination is a prize. I found 11 awesome prizes and I put them in the same colorful wicker baskets ($1.88 each – wow) that I put the clues in. They were the perfect size. I also loved that they came in many different colors so I could give one color to each of my kids and they matched the clues and eggs for each child.

Some of my favorite prize finds were sidewalk SPRAY Chalk –  how cool is that?? Giant bubble sticks – everyone loves bubbles. Kinder Joy Easter Eggs – chocolate eggs with a little toy inside. Sweet plush animals – those lambs are so cute. And probably my favorite is the Glove-a-Bubble, which are gloves with bubble mix inside and the bubbles come out when the kids wear them and run around. The characters on the gloves are so cute. I think my kids are going to love all of these fun prizes.

Once you have your prizes in their spots throughout your neighborhood, hand out the clue baskets! I also made a printable tag that you can hang on each basket if you want.

Kids Open the Clues and Find the Prizes

And if you want to make things even more fun, you can have your teens wear these Maskimals Oversized Easter Bunny Masks. They are so funny! I also found these at Walmart and they have different animals too – in case they all want to be different animals.

Clues and Eggs are Color Matched

The kids begin by opening one of the eggs in their basket and then they try to find the clue basket that goes with that clue. Since they will probably all open different clues, this makes the hunt more exciting because they will all go off in different directions. They can race to see who can solve all of the clues and collect of the prizes first.

Everyone Gets the Same Amount of Prizes

Once all of the eggs in the basket have been opened, the clues read and all prizes found, the hunt is done. Of course as a mom I love that they all get the same amount of prizes and treats which makes things fair.

Print off the clues and head over to Walmart and pick up the prizes that YOUR people will love! Walmart has something that EVERYONE will enjoy at amazing prices. Make Easter memories with YOUR family with this simple Outdoor Easter Scavenger Hunt Game.

Another Outdoor Easter Hunt

Teen Outdoor Photo Easter Scavenger Hunt

This outdoor photo hunt is perfect for tweens and teens! They use their phones to shoot photos of the clues. It’s a fun hunt for older kids and teens that have phones.

Happy Easter!

Simple Easter Bunny Treat Bags

Hi friends! Can you believe it’s March?? Spring is right around the corner, and today I am so excited to share a super simple gift bag idea that you can make for your spring parties or to package Easter gifts!

8 Easter Decor DIYs!

I’m joining some of my favorite friends today who are also sharing really fun Easter decor ideas. Be sure to scroll down to HOP over and grab the ideas!

Turn Grocery Store Paper Bags into Adorable Gift Bags

One of the things I love about this idea is how inexpensive it is to create these bunny gift bags! All you need are ordinary lunch bags that you can buy at the grocery store and yarn. I used some yarn that I already had on hand, but you can find yarn at any hobby store. Here is a link to similar yarn that I used — Fuzzy Cream Yarn. I love the fuzziness of the yarn, it’s so soft and the texture is really pretty.

Make Easter Bunny Treat Bags with Your Kids

This is a really fun craft to make with your kids and even teens love it. It’s really fast to make and your kids will love making the pom poms!

Here’s How to Make Easter Bunny Treat Bags

Only a few steps are needed to make these adorable treat bags.

Step 1: Lay Your Paper Bag Out on Your Work Surface

Step 2: Fold The Paper Bag in Half

Step 3: Make a Cut at the Fold

Make a cute about 1/3 of the way down the bag at the fold. The cut should be about 2 inches long.

Step 4: Make the Ears

Start at the end of the cut and cut straight up the bag. When you get about 3 inches from the top, start curving the cut so that it looks like a half circle. This is the top of the bunny’s ear.

Step 5: Unfold the Bag and Lay it Flat

Step 6: Make the Bunny Tail.

• To make the tail, find something that is about 5 inches long. You can use a small book, your phone, or even a piece of cardboard that is cut to that length.
• Wrap the yarn around the object 75 times.
• Slide the yarn off the object and cut the yarn at the top and bottom, so you have two sections of yarn that are the same size.
• Lay the yarn in a pile.
• Take the uncut yarn and cut a 6 inch length.
• Lay that 6-inch length of yarn on your work surface.
• Lay the pile of yarn on top and tie it in the middle. Tie it tightly with a knot.
• Use your scissors and shape the yarn into a ball shape.

Step 7: Fill the Bag with the Treats/Gift

Step 8: Use ribbon to tie the bag right under the ears.

I used a book to hold the ears in place so that I could tie it in the middle of the ears. Make a bow.

Step 9: Hot Glue the Tail

Hot glue the tail in the middle of the paper bag, under the bow , leaving 2-3 inches of lunch bag showing under the tail.
