FOR AGES 1-9
Easter hunts can be such fun if there are plenty of eggs so everyone finds a lot. It’s not fun to have "egg envy" looking at someone else’s brimming over basket.
That’s why in this fun hunt game, competition is eliminated as there are plenty of peanuts to find and eat! And no-one has to wait until Easter to play.
MATERIALS:
Plenty of roasted peanuts in the shell
baskets or bags
DIRECTIONS:
Hide peanuts all over inside and out. Put some in obvious places such as right out on the ground or carpet, and hide some away in sneakier places for the older hunters. The goal is for everyone to find lots of nuts and share them at the end, if they want.
If you don’t have peanuts handy for a spontaneous hunting game, use whatever you do have plenty of. It could hard wrapped candies, poker chips, marbles, plastic spoons or anything else that is safe for your child to find and won’t be harmed by the weather or tramping feet.
This game can be played for no other reason other than fun or it could be a party game with prizes. Some peanuts can be marked with a red dot and those who fine the red dot ones get a prize or the person who finds the most wins..
For a party, instead of peanuts, you might want to hide the party favors and make finding them a game.
