00:00With their baskets in hand, the search is on for Easter eggs.
00:03But look no further for some tips on how to jazz up the classic game of hide-and-seek.
00:08Here are five tips for the perfect Easter egg hunt that's anything but over-easy.
00:12Because when it's too simple, the kids can lose interest.
00:16So make things interesting.
00:17If they're over six years old, include fun challenges like setting a timer to see who collects the most eggs.
00:23An event designer tells Epicurious you can always slow it down by having them hop on one foot or tied
00:29to a friend in a three-legged race fashion.
00:31Another idea is to do a freeze hunt, like musical chairs where music plays as they're collecting eggs.
00:37But once the music stops, they have to freeze.
00:40As a penalty for those who don't stop in time, they have to re-hide an egg in their baskets.
00:44Spell it out.
00:45Have letters inside of a few eggs that spell out the destination to a giant Easter basket with candy and
00:51prizes.
00:51It's an easy way to make the game last longer.
00:54Turn it into a relay race.
00:56It's a good way to get them to work as a team.
00:59It's candy and goodies thereafter, which is basically treasure to most kids.
01:04So make a treasure map.
01:06Country Living says a treasure map is a fun way to lead your kids to the hidden eggs
01:10with a map that looks like objects in your house or the backyard.
