Printable Christ-Centered Easter basket scavenger hunt for Easter morning - This treasure hunt for kids, tweens, or teens uses the main points of the Bible's Easter story of Jesus as clues. Awesome Christian fun in riddles. Easy clues using both indoor and outdoor spots.
I didn't know what to call this Easter basket scavenger hunt. The clues follow the basic Easter story with Jesus washing the disciples' feet, getting arrested in the garden, being beaten and mocked, and so on. So it is Christ-centered. I debated about calling it religious or Christian but ended up with Christ-centered.
I created this other Easter basket scavenger hunt in 2016 and changed the clues around for my kids in 2017, but I wanted something fresh this year. Even though they're now 7 and 10, they still talk about it and look forward to their Easter morning hunt, so dropping it is definitely not an option.

As with the other hunts, you will need to print out these clues the night before Easter, cut them, and put them in the appropriate places after your kids are in bed. For the very last clue, you will also have to write in the location of the Easter baskets so they know where to find them at the end.
How to Create the Scavenger Hunt
- Save and print out the clues I put together.
- Cut the clues apart.
- Get a bunch of plastic Easter eggs.
- Put the first clue in a plastic Easter egg. Leave the clue-filled egg somewhere your kids will find it. I’m thinking we’ll put ours on the couch.
- Clue 2 – Under a chair in the kitchen.
- Clue 3 – Under a light - An Easter egg wouldn't fit under a lamp, but maybe you could tape it to the lamp shade or just set it next to a lamp.
- Clue 4 – In a shoe
- Clue 5 – In the freezer
- Clue 6 – At the top of the slide
- Clue 7 – Outside the front door
- Clue 8 – "In the room with the broom" so where ever you keep the broom. Ours is in the kitchen.
- Clue 9 – A place where you put your toys away
- Clue 10 – Under a kid's bed
- Clue 11 – In the clothes dryer
- Easter basket clue – In the shower
- Easter basket – Where ever you want. I'm putting ours in the basement this year, but I've also put them in the car and in the shower before.
Because this requires only about 15 minutes of prep, you could print these out and have them ready to go even the night before Easter.
You sort of have to wait until the last minute anyway. You couldn’t hardly put the eggs and clues out before the night before!
I’d love to hear if you used these clues and how your kids liked them!

I would love to share this on my website if you don't mind?
Tara Ziegmont says
Hi Sarah,
You are welcome to share one image from the post and up to 50 words, but please do not republish my blog post or share my PDF from your own site. Please direct readers to come back here to download the printable.
Sarah Zuniga says
Thank you Tara. I will simply link this specific blog post in a blog post of mine. When the link is clicked, they will be redirected here. 🙂 I love this idea so much!
Anna says
I would love to use these for my child. However, I have tried to add it to my cart & it does not add.
Tara Ziegmont says
I'll email it to you.
Annette Cecilia Peter says
Hi! I'm having the same issue as Anna. I tried to refresh the page and add to the cart again but it just keeps on buffering and nothing happens.
Ashley Davidson says
Hi Tara! I love this idea, I’ve been looking for a good way to add Christ to our Easter baskets and this will be so fun for the kids. Could you email the files to me please? I can’t figure out how to print them off.
Thank you!
Ashley
Ashley Davidson says
Thank you so much! I just got the email!
Nicole says
Hi,
I’ve tried a few times to have the file emailed to me but no such luck. Can you please send it to me.
Thank you!
Tara Ziegmont says
I tried, but it's most likely going to your spam folder. Did you check there?
Nicole says
I checked there and it isn’t there either. I was able to download the teen one but was really hoping to get this one as well for my younger one.
Thank you for trying.
Tara Ziegmont says
I just tried to email it a different way. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to do.
Tara Ziegmont says
Oh, I just had a brainstorm. If you don't have an email from me, try going into the store and downloading the file from there. You can add it to your cart, and then when the confirmation screen opens, there will be a link in red where you can download right there from that page.
Kate says
You are amazing! Thank you for sending on such short notice. I'm obviously a procrastinator!
Tara Ziegmont says
Nah, you're not a procrastinator. You can't set up the scavenger hunt before they go to bed tonight, so there's no need to worry about it before now.
Hannah says
Hi there! I just wondered if you’d be able to send me your amazing Christ-based clues for an Easter Hunt?! I can’t download them and I’ve just come across them and they’re amazing- I’d love to set my 3 kids there for the morning. Many thanks Hannah xx Happy Easter and I hope you and your family are staying safe and well at this very surreal and testing time in the world X
Mandy says
Hi, I am not able to download the clues/cards and want to make sure I have them for tomorrow! I know I'm late doing this. I used them last year and my kids loved it!
Jessica says
Please email me the Easter scavenger hunt. I found a few others but they aren't focused on Jesus. I would love to start our morning with Him as our focal point and not the bunny.

Checking in to see if this scavenger hunt is still available? If so, I would love a copy.

Jorge & Cara Garcia says
there is a typo in the one that talks about putting toys away. I know it was only 3 dollars but as a teacher it is tough to use something that doesnt make sense.
Tara Ziegmont says
I just read it through three times, and I don't see a typo. The words are in an unusual order to make the rhyme work, but I don't see a word that is misspelled or a punctuation mark out of place. Care to elaborate?
Rachel says
We've used your original scavenger hunt for the past 3 years. Last year my son helped my then 2 year old daughter with the hunt. He knows all the clues off by heart now so it's time for new one. I might use both sets so they have a hunt each and print on different coloured paper. Just purchased. Thank you very much x
We don't have a slide so I've changed that one to "near something you ride" (next to the bikes) and:
"Find your next clue in the room the broom" is missing a with. Plus we'd call it a brush and dust pan inside the house (might be a UK thing) and our broom.is in the garden shed, so I'm changing it to "near Room on a Broom" (on the bookshelf).
Tara Ziegmont says
I'm so glad you've enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your comment.
