One Easter event that really makes it feel officially like Easter is The Jaycees Easter Egg Hunt.

Every year The Bolingbrook Jaycees puts on an Easter Event that would make Peter Cottontail Himself swell up with pride. On Saturday March 15, 2008 one day before Palm Sunday, at The Ball Fields at The Bolingbrook Park District’s Annerino Center in Bolingbrook Illinois, The Bolingbrook Jaycees put on Their one and only Easter Egg Hunt.

The Hunt started at 10 with the hunt being separated into 4 age groups with staggered times.

What is an Easter Egg Hunt without The Master of ceremonies Mr. Peter Cottontail Himself.

These kids at this event just loved the Easter Bunny and He was taking pictures with the kiddies and passing out Easter Eggs along.

There was also the raffling of two adult spa Easter baskets.

Plus inside these plastic eggs along with some awesome was a special golden ticket, not to The Willy Wonka Chocolate Favorite, but something equally cool a special Easter Basket. There was two golden tickets in two eggs per age group.

This event was a really awesome thing for these kids. It really made some of these kids Easter a shining bright one indeed

I know this seems odd, but I remember when I was young, and I never got to participate in the for eggs that contained cheesy gifts. Sometimes I wish just once, female would give me a chocolate bunny, someone, sniff, besides my Mom.

Preparing for the Easter 2011 Egg ?

Easter 2011 egg hunts had always been a fun and entertaining part of Easter.  During the Easter 2011 egg hunts, children as well as adults love to scour the fields high and low for brightly colored eggs that often contain prizes, candy, toys, and chocolates and so on.  During the game, these colored eggs are a commodity and the participants are required to search for as many eggs as possible guided by the clues.

So, if you are also preparing to organize an Easter 2011 egg this year, here are ideas that you can use to add to the fun and enjoyment of the game.  Different people use different ways to prepare the clues.  They may use maps, photos and riddles and so many other things.  When clues are used properly in the hunt, the game can turn out to be really interesting.  You can make use of different clues in a single egg hunt also.  For example, a map can lead the participants to pictures of the places where the eggs are hidden.  Similarly a series of riddles can also lead to the hunter to the pictures or map of places where eggs are hidden.

Maps are the most common types of clues used in an Easter 2011 egg hunt game.  They are quite easy, attractive and suitable for children of most ages.  If you want to use a map as a clue for a very young child, it would be a great idea to include colorful pictures.  When making maps, make sure they depict the locations accurately.  If maps are not accurate, it can even spoil the whole game.  Avoid putting each and every detail on the map and also omit insignificant elements.  After all your aim is to help the participants locate all the eggs and allow them to have fun and enjoy themselves when they are doing so.

Riddles also make great clues for egg hunts.  Riddles participants to think and they are only suitable for elder kids who can read and write.  This can be a great challenge for the participants as those who can think quickly will be a step closer to locating the eggs.  Young children may not find riddles helpful so it is better not to assign the riddle clues to them.

Photos can also add to the fun of the game and are a great option for hunt egg hunt clues. You can take the pictures depending on the age of the child.  For children of very young age, you would like to take the pictures of the exact location where the eggs are hidden.  For average age children, you can make it a little challenging by taking pictures of a specific object in the area where the eggs are located.  Moreover, for elder kids, you can take pictures of some objects around the exact location and take it at an angle that it is hard to recognize in the first glance.

NOT like we want her to be competitive, but just so she knows the object of the game before … We’re having an egg at my mom’s on Easter and it’ll be her and her two two-year-old cousins doing it.
O– to hide eggs around our apartment and let her look for them…Ridiculous or not? :)
That was supposed to say “SO–” not “O–” :)
Sorry if I wasn’t clear when I said “NOT to be competitive” above. The idea is for her to participate.
