3. Hide eggs in the classroom, around the school, on the playground, etc.

Ideas for Using these Egg Hunt Activities During Other Times of the Year:
1. Use an empty tissue box (the cubes work best) and put the strips inside folded up. Let students reach inside to grab a random strip and then complete the task.
2. Don’t cut the strips – instead have students grab the full sheet with the 14 tasks and answer them on the recording sheet
3. Make it a partner game. Have one person read the strip while the other person writes down the answer. Then let them switch.
