Bring spiritual meaning to a traditional Easter egg hunt as kids discover “God’s Easter Gifts” hidden in the eggs.

Insert the one of the 12 (1 x 1 inch) God’s Easter Gifts Christian Easter Egg Hunt Cards into some of the Easter eggs. Each card contains one of 12 Easter gifts that God gives us because of Jesus’ Resurrection:

  • peace
  • power
  • love
  • unity
  • new creation
  • grace
  • sacrifice
  • resurrection
  • forgiveness
  • rebirth
  • joy

Then send kids on a fun Easter egg hunt (our family still includes other eggs with candy too).

Once kids have found the eggs, open them and have an informal discussion about what some of these gifts are. The God’s Easter Gifts Christian Easter Egg Hunt Cards include a script with Bible verses and discussion starters for each of the 12 Easter gifts so that it’s easy to teach kids!

This Christian Easter egg scavenger hunt is also a great evangelistic tool for kids from other families who may not have heard about the hope of Christ.

How to Host a Christian Easter Egg Hunt

If you know how to put together a regular Easter egg hunt, then you can easily host a Christian Easter egg hunt!

Here’s what you need to put together your own Christian Easter Egg Hunt lesson, along with the step by step instructions, so that you can teach your kids about the true message of Easter in a fun and simple way.

Christian Easter Egg Hunt Supplies:

Christian Easter Egg Hunt Instructions:

Step 1: Print out the 12 (1 x 1 inch) God’s Easter Gifts Easter Egg Hunt Cards and cut them out. I recommend laminating the Easter Egg Hunt Cards for extra durability.

Step 2: Insert the God’s Easter Gifts Easter Egg Hunt Cards into 12 of the plastic Easter eggs. Fill the rest of the eggs with small Easter candy or other fun toys (optional, but what kid doesn’t also love finding candy as part of an Easter egg scavenger hunt?).

Step 4: Once all the Easter eggs are found, have kids open their eggs. Tell the ones with a special Easter gift card to hold on to it. Then, lead kids in a discussion about the true Easter story using each of the cards. Specific Bible verses, discussion questions and conversation starters make this Easter egg hunt lesson about the Resurrection easy for families.
