If you have followed me for a few years, you know that I have made several Bible scavenger hunts using Bible verses as clues to lead my kids around our house to a prize. On Easter morning, I put the clues in plastic Easter eggs and use them to lead my kids to their Easter baskets. They look forward to this tradition every year. This year I created Holy Week resources to teach them the events of each day of the week leading up to Easter. It includes a flap book, a cross foldable, cards, bingo, Bible reading plans, and timelines. So I wanted to tie this year's scavenger hunt in with the Holy Week theme. I picked a verse from each day of Holy Week and used it as a clue. I am excited to see them find the eggs (and their Easter baskets at the end). I also created an alternate version to be used in a church so that people who are using my Holy Week resources in their church can play too. The home version has the following clues: coats, chairs, fruit, table, towel, water, spices, and S...

  If your children enjoyed my previous Easter basket scavenger hunt, here is our latest version. Two years ago, we used Bible verses about the story of Jesus' death on the cross. Last year, we used Bible verses about the story of Jesus' resurrection. This year, I use ideas from the story of Jesus' resurrection without actually using Bible verses. Now, let's celebrate the joyous occasion of His resurrection with a new set of clues.  Here's how to get started:  Download and print this PDF.   Cut out each clue.  Place the first clue in an egg, ready to be handed to your eager little hunters. Alternatively, you can leave it on the bottom step for a fun surprise as they come downstairs. Place the second clue inside an egg and hide it at the location written on the bottom of the second clue (a hamper). Continue the hunt by placing each subsequent clue inside eggs and hiding them at the location indicated in the bottom right corner of the clue. Finally, hide your chil...

  My kids love finding their Easter baskets using a scavenger hunt. Last year, we used Bible verses that tell the story of Jesus' death on the cross . This time I used verses about Jesus' resurrection. I also included two versions. One version has the keyword in bold. In the other version, the keyword is missing so they have to look up the Bible verses. It's pretty simple to use.  Print out the pdf .  Cut out the clues. Place the first clue in an egg to hand to your kids. Or you can place it on the bottom step for when your kids come downstairs. Put the second clue in an egg and hide it at the location in the first clue (keys). Put the third clue in an egg and hide it at the location on the bottom right of the clue (lamps). Continue putting each clue in an egg and hiding each egg at the location on the bottom right of the clue.  Hide your kids' Easter baskets (or some other prize) at the last clue (books). Enjoy!

  This week, I've been looking for a scavenger hunt that uses Bible verses from the Easter story as clues as a fun way for my kids to find their Easter baskets. I was not having any success finding what I was looking for. At all. So I made one. And I'm sharing it for others who might be looking for something similar.  It's pretty simple to use.  Print out the pdf .  Cut out the clues. Place the first clue in an egg to hand to your kids. Or you can place it on the bottom step for when your kids come downstairs. Put the second clue in an egg and hide it at the location on the bottom right of the clue (table). Put the third cule in an egg and hide it at the location on the bottom right of the clue (bread). Continue putting each clue in an egg and hiding each egg at the location on the bottom right of the clue.  Hide your kids Easter baskets (or some other prize) at the last clue (nails). Enjoy!
