There are other options that will also provide treats for your Egg Hunters.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Besides switching to reusable plastic eggs, actual eggshells can be used. Eggs can be emptied by just cracking\/ removing the smaller end of the shell and then rinsed out. After fully drying, the shells can be decorated, filled and sealed with tape or glue and tissue paper.<\/li>\n<li>Trying to cut-back on sugar intake? Fill your plastic eggs or empty eggshells with slips of paper that can be redeemed for fun prizes \u2013 even small monetary amounts or gift cards\/ certificates (iTunes, Starbucks and Amazon gift cards are a huge hit with our family).<\/li>\n<li>Plastic eggs and empty eggshells can also be filled with healthy treats like trail mix, nuts, crackers and dried fruit.<\/li>\n<li>Egg-shaped cut-outs can be made from sturdy construction paper or even an old wallpaper sample book. Prizes can be written on the back of the \u201ceggs\u201d \u2013 or perhaps the person who finds the most cut-outs wins the prize.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Treasure Hunts<\/h3>\n<p>To add a more competitive level to your festivities, turn your egg hunt into a treasure\/ scavenger hunt. Individually or in teams, family and friends can follow a series of clues to find eggs hidden outdoors and\/or indoors. You can also label eggs with your guests\u2019 initials so each person looks for the eggs that are uniquely theirs.<\/p>\n<h3>Easter Candy Guessing Contest<\/h3>\n<p>Display a glass jar with jelly beans or any other Easter candy along with slips of paper which your guests can fill out their names and guess the total amount of candies. The person who guesses closest to the actual amount (without going over) is the Winner!<\/p>\n<h3>Easter-themed \u201cDraw &amp; Guess\u201d Game<\/h3>\n<p>An easel art pad or whiteboard (and dry erase marker) are needed along with slips of paper listing Easter symbols or phrases. Guests, separated into teams, choose an Easter symbol or phrase to draw (silently) for their team to guess what the symbol is before the time is up. There can be a separate draw bag for children with single words such as \u201cbunny\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>Easter Egg Toss<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21377\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21377\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/5631171704_940934d140_o-e1407041820294.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21377\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/5631171704_940934d140_o-e1407041820294-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Europe District hosts Easter Egg Hunt for USACE employees, families by USACE Europe District (CC BY 2.0)\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21377\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"oembed-caption\"><a title=\"Europe District hosts Easter Egg Hunt for USACE employees, families\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/europedistrict\/5631171704\/\">Europe District hosts Easter Egg Hunt for USACE employees, families<\/a> by <a title=\"Flickr user USACE Europe District\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/europedistrict\/\">USACE Europe District<\/a> (<a title=\"Creative Commons Attribution License\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" rel=\"license\">CC BY 2.0<\/a>)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Each team of two stand a few feet apart and one person tosses a raw egg to the other.
