For those who don’t have that or can’t make that occur, you’ll be able to nonetheless use the Easter scavenger hunt clues for teenagers which are obtainable for obtain on the backside of this publish.

How Does This Scavenger Hunt Work?
I discussed this already however this a teen texting primarily based scavenger hunt makes use of two households with teenagers who will probably be working collectively to seek out hidden Easter eggs.
The essential thought is that one set of teenagers (we’ll name them the Smith teenagers) will probably be discovering eggs which have clues that result in eggs within the residence of the second set of teenagers (we’ll name them the Jones teenagers).
The Smith and Jones’ teenagers should work collectively to seek out all of their hidden eggs by texting clues forwards and backwards to 1 one other as they discover their eggs.
I’m all about doing distinctive Easter egg hunts, and that is simply one other enjoyable thought for mixing issues up on Easter Sunday (or no matter day the Easter bunny may come to your own home).
Teen Easter Scavenger Hunt Setup
You’ll have two units of eggs with clues inside – one for the Smith home and one for the Jones home. The clues that go contained in the eggs on the Smith home will really be clues that result in egg areas within the Jones home (I hope that is smart).
So the setup is a bit more difficult than say a conventional Easter scavenger hunt, nevertheless it’s all a part of the enjoyable!
- Print out the clues and cut up them in half – one for the Jones home and one for the Smith home.
- Take an image (or simply obtain it to your cellphone) of the clues for every of the homes so you’ll be able to keep in mind the place you could cover eggs. The clues which are hidden on the Jones’ home would be the areas of the place the eggs are hidden on the Smith home.
- Lower every of the clues out and place the entire clues in particular person plastic eggs besides the starter clue for each homes. Additionally, not like regular Easter egg scavenger hunt clues, the clues received’t have to go in any sure order so don’t fear about retaining them so as, simply retaining them separated by home.
- Disguise the eggs (with the clues inside) at every home, ensuring to cover them within the areas that the clues within the eggs on the different home lead. So for instance, if the clues within the eggs hidden on the Smith’s home result in the oven, the backdoor, and the washer – the eggs on the Jones home will probably be hidden within the oven, on the backdoor, and within the washer.
As soon as the entire eggs are hidden, the Easter egg scavenger hunt for teenagers is setup and able to go. I like to recommend you do that whereas the kids aren’t residence, in order that they don’t begin scoping out egg areas earlier than you’re even carried out looking!
Tip!
You possibly can add in cash, reward playing cards, little prizes, their favourite issues, or Easter sweet to the colourful eggs together with the clues for the kids to seek out as they discover eggs! Or you’ll be able to simply give them the clues and have them flip in the entire eggs on the finish for one thing bigger!

Alright, now comes the enjoyable half and why that is such an ideal thought. When each teams of teenagers (the Jones and the Smiths) are prepared, give the starter clue to the primary group of teenagers (in our instance – the Smith teenagers).
The Smith teenagers then must textual content the Jones teenagers what the starter clue is – they’ll ship an image, can ship the precise clue, or they’ll even ship what they suppose the precise location is. The objective is simply to assist the Jones teenagers finds their first egg.
As soon as they’ve despatched the textual content, the Jones teenagers makes use of the texted clue to seek out their first egg. As soon as they open the egg, they must then flip round and textual content the Smith teenagers the following clue or no matter data they need to assist the Smith teenagers discover their first egg.
The objective is to make the clues tough sufficient that the teenager studying the clue out of the egg received’t instantly be capable of determine the place the egg is (except in fact they’re so conversant in their buddies’ home that they know) and truly has to textual content the clue or hints of the clue to the opposite half.
Maintain going – looking for eggs with clues, texting clues, and so forth – till the entire eggs have been discovered.
As soon as all clues have been discovered, the kids in each teams can both maintain the entire surprises that you simply hid of their eggs or they’ll flip their eggs in (for those who didn’t do treats inside) for a bigger prize or Easter basket.
