Equip your families to focus on Jesus and create fun memories this Easter! This download includes everything you need to prepare and distribute an At-Home Glow in the Dark Egg Hunt Bag to each of the families in your ministry.
The activities in the bag will take families 30-45 minutes to complete and includes an Easter family devotion (John 8:12 & Matthew 5:14-16), games, and a special glow in the dark egg hunt kids will love! And don’t worry – we’ve made it as easy as possible for parents with a 6-page Family Guide that will walk them through the whole thing step-by-step.
Here’s how it works:
- Determine how many bags you’ll make (1 per child or 1 per family) and order necessary supplies (links to supplies included in download). *Download does not include materials. It does include links to purchase supplies online, and most can be found locally. See details about supplies needed below.Â
- Print & assemble the 6-page Family Guide (included)
- Pack your At-Home Glow in the Dark Egg Hunt Bags and communicate with families when/where they can pick up their bags. Use the email template provided and the social media graphics included to help spread the word.
- Distribute the bags however you decide (families pick them up at church, you leave them on a family’s doorstep, etc.).
- Enjoy Easter with your family and watch for the pictures/reactions from your church families!

This was a fun Easter kit to sort and give out. The glow in the dark items added lots of excitement. The graphics are awesome.

I used this activity along with two other activities to create lent kits for families. The egg hunt kit was pretty simple to put together and I was able to edit the instructions to fit my circumstances. I received a lot of positive feedback from families who appreciated doing something different than a traditional easter egg hunt. I can’t wait to do this event with families together at church sometime in the future!
