Want a fun way to hide Easter baskets for Easter morning? How about a different type of Easter egg hunt for teens or adults? This printable bunny tracks game will have player racing to try and follow their own set of bunny tracks to be the first one to find the prize at the end! It’s like an Easter scavenger hunt with a bunny track twist!
An Easter Game for Any Age
Every year I ask my readers what kind of Easter ideas they’re looking for and this year one of the most requested items was Easter egg hunt ideas and Easter games for teens and adults.
This bunny tracks game is the best of both worlds because it combines the concept of an Easter egg hunt (or at least Easter egg hunt clues) with an Easter game. And it not only is fun for teens and adults but also for kids, with just a few tweaks!
In this fun game, players have to find and follow their own colored bunny tracks around the house to try and find a prize at the end. You can either set it up as a search for an Easter basket, a large egg filled with a prize, or even just give out a prize for whoever finds their final item first!
Why People love this bunny tracks game
- Super simple to setup and play – all you need to play are the printable bunny tracks you can get at the end of this post and whatever prizes you want at the end!
- Customizable – you can hide the bunny tracks as easy (for kids) or as difficult as you want (for adults), making it perfect for any age.
- No reading involved – if you want an Easter egg scavenger hunt that doesn’t require any reading, this is perfect!
- Make it competitive or not – since everyone will have their own path, you can either make this a competitive game or one just for fun!
How to Setup the bunny tracks game
The setup of this bunny tracks game is pretty simple but also how you set it up is pretty important to how the game goes!
1 – print out your printable bunny tracks
Start by downloading the bunny tracks at the bottom of this post (or you can get them in my shop here).
Print and cut out a set of bunny tracks for each path you want to setup. You can either do one per person (and have multiples) or setup one for an entire group to follow.
I personally like to setup one per person, which means printing out a different color of bunny tracks for each person. The printable at the bottom of this post has 10 different color options to choose from!
Note!
To keep things shorter, we hid five bunny tracks per player and made them pretty difficult to find, so they really had to look. You can just print out multiple copies of the colored bunny tracks if you’d prefer to have more tracks along each of your paths!
2 – Hide your bunny tracks
This is the part that is kind of like an Easter egg hunt. Cut out your bunny tracks then hide them on a path that leads from your starting point to a finishing point, where your prize will be hidden.
The idea here is that you want to send players all around a section of the house (e.g., upstairs, downstairs, backyard, front yard) without having bunny tracks crossing each other if possible, so they don’t get confused.
Everyone will start in the same room and find their bunny track, then follow it to the next room, where they’ll find the next one, and keep following it until they get to the fifth and final bunny track.
Here are some general guidelines for hiding the bunny tracks.
- Make them visible but not easy to find. You want the players to have to actually search to find them or the game isn’t fun. Unless you’re doing this with little kids and then you can make them visible, but I’d hide more of them!
- Make the bunny tracks point in the direction of the next place that the players have to search. So if they have to go upstairs and you hide them on the stairs, make sure they are pointing up the stairs (like the bunny really went that way) to point them in the right direction.
- Don’t hide bunny tracks that are similar colors close to each other or you’ll end up with players crossing tracks!
- Make your bunny trail a point to point destination (e.g., start in the kitchen and go through the living room then to the bedroom – not back and forth) so players are going from one place to another, not passing back and forth through rooms, so they don’t accidentally see other bunny tracks or get distracted looking in the wrong places.
Hide your bunny tracks based on the ages of the people searching for them. You can see the differing levels of difficulty we used for hiding them for young kids, tweens/tweens, and adults in the collage of pictures below.
3 – Hide your Bunny Trail Prizes
Once you hide your final bunny track, it’s time to hide your final prizes. We tested out hiding the prize in the same room as the final bunny track, but the kids found the Easter baskets before the final bunny track, so I don’t recommend that.
Instead, use the final bunny track as another arrow or guide them to the room or area where the final prize is hidden. And then hide the prize in that room so that they have to find it! We’ve done Easter baskets, large Easter eggs, and even smaller Easter eggs as prizes!
Make it an easter basket hunt
This is a great activity to do on Easter morning for hiding and finding Easter baskets – that’s how we most often use it, but it works great as a standalone game too!
How to Play the bunny tracks game
There are a couple of ways that you can play this bunny tracks game. One is a competitive race and one is just individuals following their bunny tracks to find a prize at the end!
1 – Competitive Bunny Tracks Game
If you want to make this competitive, hide bunny trails for everyone who wants to play, making sure everyone has a different color to follow.
Hide a golden egg (or whatever egg you want as long as it’s easy to find) at the end of the bunny trail. Anyone who gets to the end and finds the golden eggs wins what is inside (something small like candy or a $5), but whoever finds their egg and brings it back to you the fastest wins a special bonus prize like a gift card!
Or you could skip the individual prizes in the golden eggs and really just give out a prize for whoever can follow their bunny track and find the egg at the end the fastest!
When you’re ready, give everyone their starting bunny track (so they know their color) and say go. They have to follow their first bunny track to the next one, the next one, and so on until they find the egg at the very end!
2 – Individual Bunny Tracks Game
If you’re doing this just for fun or to lead players to Easter baskets (or a fun surprise at the end), set the game up the same way as the competitive version except you’ll have a prize (or Easter basket) at the end of each path.
When you say go, players follow their colored bunny tracks throughout the house or area to find their surprise at the end.
We did this with the younger kids and put one of these toddler Easter baskets at the end (filled with stuffed animals for everyone), and the kids loved it! They said it was one of their favorite Easter activities we’ve done!
