How to Use The Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt Clues

Planning your indoor Easter egg hunt is simple with these printable clues. You’ll get 3 pages of rhyming riddles—12 in total—that guide kids from room to room on Easter morning.

They’re designed for a wide range of ages, and work especially well when you vary the hiding spots. Keep a few easy for younger kids, and make others a little more challenging for older ones.

Before you start, grab the printable scavenger hunt clues at the bottom of this page. They’re free for personal use. We recommend printing on cardstock for durability, but regular paper works just fine too.

Use a paper cutter or scissors to separate the clues. If you’re hiding them in plastic eggs, fold each one so it fits snugly inside. The cards are sized for easy handling and clear reading.

We haven’t numbered the clues—so you get full control over the order. Tailor the path based on your home’s layout and your child’s interests. Just jot down the order you’ve hidden them in to keep things organized.

Add a little extra fun with our free printable Easter bunny letter, perfect for kicking off the hunt.

As you hide the clues, mix up the difficulty—some in plain sight, others tucked into clever spots—to keep kids guessing. End the scavenger hunt with the big reward: a well-hidden Easter basket waiting at the final clue.
