Funny Easter Egg Hunt Ideas

We’re sharing funny Easter egg hunt ideas to fill your Easter eggs with and prank your family!

Searching for a clever twist on tradition? How about creating a gag Easter egg hunt for a hilarious way to shake things up this year? We’re sharing our favorite funny things to fill Easter eggs with and prank your family!

Just be sure to know your audience and gauge what’s appropriate and won’t be considered mean. For instance, older kids, teens, or adult friends and family would probably be better suited for this activity than young children. Use your best judgment!

Here are some creative and simple ideas you can EASILY pull off to ‘fool’ your family. These are meant to create silly memories, and not to be taken too seriously! 😂 The best part is, most of these supplies can be found inexpensively at your local Dollar Tree – I love shopping for inexpensive Easter supplies there.

5 funny Easter egg hunt ideas to try:

1. Super Glue the eggs.

Does your family love Easter pranks? Try gluing some fillable plastic Easter eggs shut with Super Glue for a sneaky trick! Simply glue the edges and secure the egg back together.

2. Give fake money instead of real money.

These pranks make funny adult easter egg hunt ideas! Make a few with real money and fill the rest of these funny Easter eggs with pretend currency. Fake lottery tickets would be hilarious, too!

3. One prank Easter egg idea is to make “pretend” chocolate eggs.

These little treats appear as wrapped chocolate eggs, but they’re really (are you ready for this?) GRAPES! Gotcha! To achieve this look, simply color small pieces of aluminum foil squares using colorful Sharpie markers, then wrap up the grapes. This Easter prank is good for an egg hunt with teens or kids.

4. Fill eggs with veggies instead of candy.

One of the funny things to fill Easter eggs with is health food! I’m not sure about your kids, but veggies would be the last item my kids would want to find in an Easter egg! 🤣

5. Stuff your eggs with unappetizing jelly beans.

Scoop up a box of Harry Potter’s Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans or Jelly Belly’s Bean Boozled Jelly Beans. Each box of these candies contains several off-putting flavors. Sit back and enjoy watching your family member’s faces as they bite into these trick candies. Just make sure to have some palette cleansers on hand! 🥴

Now that you’ve gifted funny Easter eggs, give participants some REAL candy or prizes at the end!

After all those Easter pranks, you may want to reward your participants for being such good sports. Be prepared to hand out some REAL goodies at the end of your silly egg hunt. That way nobody goes away feeling completely bummed out. These creative Edible Dollar Tree Easter Baskets made from inexpensive candy and supplies would make great parting gifts.
