Easter hunt clues

I included 12 clues in this Easter scavenger hunt. I think that’s a good length for younger kids to follow along and older kids to not get bored.

Each clue has a cute little rhyme that describes somewhere in your house – plus a few outdoors.

Some of the clue locations are pretty specific, but I tried to leave room for flexibility too. You can change up the locations to fit your home, but here are the locations I had in mind for each one:

1. Your bookshelf – This is wherever your child’s books are stored.
2. Near the recycling bin – We keep ours in the kitchen.
3. Where your hair gets tamed – The bathroom with their hairbrush.
4. Where we keep the coats – A coat closet or entryway coat rack.
5. Where you keep your shoes – Near the front door or their closet (hide them inside the shoes!).
6. Where you watch your favorite show – Probably the tv in the living room, but maybe with a tablet.
7. Where we keep the snacks – The pantry or a snack jar on the counter.
8. Where you do math – At a desk or wherever they do their homework.
9. Where we check the mail – Inside the mailbox.
10. Where we dry the clothes – Inside or on top of the dryer. (Of course if you don’t have a clothes dryer, you may need to get creative. Do you have a place for clothes that dry flat or hang?)
11. Where you go to take a nap – Back in their bedroom.
12. Where you play with your friends – In a playroom or the backyard.
