Organizing Your Hunt

1. Designate the Hunting Area - Get permission if you are using a community space. Keep in mind that if you are using a public space for a private egg hunt, you might have unsuspecting children there as well. Either plan to include them or plan a more private location.
2. Have a Backup Plan - Check the weather and depending on the forecast, consider reserving an alternate venue such as a school or church gym. Put out some "obstacles" such as folding chairs or gym toys for hiding eggs.
3. Provide Healthy Snacks - Before the hunt, stave off candy gorging by asking volunteers to bring a snack to share, such as a fresh fruit tray, pretzels, cheese blocks with crackers or other filling treat. : Create an to avoid duplicates.
