Ideas for the Treasure
There is so much candy around holidays, which is fun for kids and can be part of holiday traditions and memories. This is definitely true for Easter. Instead of making your fitness hunt about a treat they can eat at the end, here are some fun non-food fitness related ideas for the treasure:
- Water bottle
- Jump rope
- Hula Hoop
- Inflatable Punching Bag
- Skip Ball
- Balance Ball
- Over the door basketball hoop
- Inflatable bowling set
- Soccer net
- Nerf football
Set a Fitness Example
This can be a fun activity that the entire family can be involved in – including parents! Kids watch closely what their parents do, and if you exercise with them it tells your kids that you enjoy fitness and that it is an important part of your life. Get your heart rate up and get excited about each of the exercises.

Great ideas-posted on the DFM facebook page. We have an Easter Egg hunt every year to help support our children’s programs and use stickers, temporary tattoos, small bottle of bubbles and some chocolate in the eggs. Chocolate, because of the fat, doesn’t cause a rapid elevation of blood glucose unlike hard or gummi candies.
By the way, please check spelling on egg #5-I think you mean “You’re almost done!”
I have been doing this for years for my girls. I started out with easy clues, then made them harder as they got older. I also have done picture clues where the picture of the next egg gave them the clue as to where it was at. They like it better than running to get the most eggs. This way they each got a certain number of eggs and they were happier.

I’ve been doing this for years with my kids, only instead of formal exercises, I send them up to the second floor, then down to the basement, then up to the main floor, then into the backyard – well, you get the picture! I have been recording it as well so we all get the exercise together. My kids are now 14 and 12 and they still request the egg scavenger hunt! Great fun and great exercise. I think I’ll follow your lead this year and include some jumping jacks and bounces on the trampoline. Thanks for the ideas!!
Thanks!!!!
Thanks for the super-fun idea! I did a scavenger hunt for Christmas with great success, and this will fit the bill perfectly! Since my “child” is 20 and a fitness nut, and I m in my 50’s and WAY out of shape, she will enjoy best that I plan to do the fitness exercises with her as we go from clue to clue! Great bonding and just another quiet way to show her I believe in her and honor what’s important to her.
This is so great! I usually leave the baskets on the counter and randomly hide eggs, but I had seen this post a month or so ago on Facebook and decided to try it out. I adapted the clues to work for our house and left a “note from the easter bunny” on the counter and the kids LOVED it. They took it super serious and even made me set a timer for the clue that said hop in place for one minute! So much fun. Thanks!!!
Love, love, love! My 3 kids look forward to our annual Easter hunt and I will be using your fantastic idea for this year. Thanks.
What great guides for the Easter holiday! Keep it up!
nice little trick to get them outdoors and doing some much needed exercise.
