It is no secret that Easter may look a little different this weekend than years past. Many events are cancelled and the call for social distancing has caused a lot of families to opt for staying home instead of celebrating with loved ones.

However, thanks to technology, we want to keep the fun rolling and allow the spirit of the season to shine through. Which is why we have listed how to have a virtual Easter egg hunt below along with other fun virtual events that local Omaha, NE businesses are offering. We hope you enjoy, are staying safe, and have a wonderful Easter weekend! 

How to hold a virtual Easter egg hunt:

-Invite family, friends and loved ones to your event! Send out a text or email outlining the date, time, supplies they will need, hiding spots (more on this below) and a link to the videoconferencing app you wish to use. (*It may be a good idea to hold a quick call on the app of your choosing a day or two before the big hunt to ensure everyone is set up and knows how to use the technology. This will allow for fewer headaches and confusion the day of!) 

-All hosts must hide the eggs in the same places in each home. An example of potential spots could be on the TV stand, underneath the couch cushion, behind the bed frame, under the kitchen sink, in the bathtub, etc. You want to be sure to outline each spot in the invitation to ensure everything flows and all hosts are on the same page. 

-Create markers and clues that will help each egg hunter find the hidden eggs. 

-The big day: Once everyone is logged in and the scavenger hunt begins, each host will read the clues to the hunters. Everyone will then work together to find the hidden Easter eggs in their respective hiding spots.  (*Make it fun by doing a close-up of each discovery, make everyone do a ‘victory dance’ when an egg is found, give pep talks, etc. The point is to smile throughout and have fun!) 

-Count up the eggs at the end to ensure each one was found!
