Scripturegg Hunt

by Nancy Brower
Old Testament version

I'll include the Score sheet, also the "master sheet of random clues w/references & page #"....but first an explanation for those who’re wondering what a “scripturegg” is: 
 

PREPARATION
 

Buy individually wrapped candy eggs (I combine Reese's, Cadbury, Chocolate Covered Marshmallow (my personal favorite...this is actually a fairly dangerous activity for me)...If I have 18-20 kids in my class, I've found that 50 eggs is a good number. I scotch-tape the random # & clue on each egg (keeping the master list of course so I know which clue goes with which number)
 

CLASS SET-UP
 

Since my class was in the Primary room, I had all the chairs taken down the day before...telling the kids we won't be meeting there the next day; you need to get there EARLY (at least 30-45 min) the next day & set up all the chairs in the hallway outside the Primary Room (allowing limited access to retrieve their scriptures); I literally hid those eggs only in the Primary Room (when you turn on lights and open the folding doors, they walk in and cannot "see" even one...(I told them I will not hide any inside the piano, or in my cupboard...) but I've found a few great places: tucked behind a flyer stapled to a bulletin board; masking taped everywhere (bottoms of tables, backs of folded chairs, on the ledge outside the window, underneath the trash basket, etc.) + I tuck one into the hem of the drapes, pull out the plastic trash bag & put one in then put the bag back on...it's amazing where you find places)
 

AS KIDS COME, have them get their scriptures (or have them out on a table), pair them up (whoever happens to be sitting next to you is your partner), hand each pair a length of wide ribbon (or whatever) w/instructions to tie their inside legs together between ankle & knee; hand each pair a score sheet, with instructions to only find ONE EGG AT A TIME (others confiscated & put where anyone can find & claim), then they RETURN TO THEIR DESK, look up the reference and write the PAGE # on their score sheet, along with the Clue # on the egg. Then they're free to find more eggs. THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT ANY UNTIL AT THE END, after you've had them by team call out clue # & page # (if they're wrong, teacher gets the egg...and I keep 'em!...hoping that someone will blow it on a marshmallow one)...also you need to COUNT total eggs every once in a while, and keep 'em going until they're all found. Usually, we get to the point where 18 kids are standing in the middle of an empty room and told there are still "7 more left"..
 

OK, here's the score sheet & clue master list:
