Suggestions for holding an egg hunt while maintaining social distancing

Involving families in the preparation:

Have families use paper and markers, crayons or paint to create colorful eggs to hang on their front door or windows.

• Designate a day and time for your egg hunt.
• Let people know what streets to drive or walk down to find the eggs.
• They can take pictures to keep track of how many they find.
• Add another element by making it an egg scavenger hunt. Find x number of green eggs, etc. There could be one or more golden eggs hidden that the kids need to find.
• Your imagination is the only limit you have in holding this kind of egg hunt.

Two ways for troop leaders to prepare an egg hunt for their troop:

For both of the ideas below, troop leaders can scatter eggs on their own lawn. They would need to be able to be seen from the street.

1. Send each family a check list in advance of how many of each color egg to find when driving or walking past the leader’s home.

2. Have an I Spy Egg Hunt Edition: Send each family a picture of your front lawn for them to print. Each scout can circle all the eggs they can see in the picture. Scouts can then take a picture of their finished ‘egg hunt’ to send back to troop leaders.

Have A Reverse Egg Hunt:

This fun reverse egg hunt idea is from FreeKidsCrafts.com. Free printables and plastic eggs are all you need to bring the egg hunt to your scouts.

Using gloves while preparing the eggs adds an extra layer of precaution in this social distancing friendly activity.
