Whether you’re planning a family game night, a festive party with friends, or a classroom holiday celebration, this printable game adds a delightful twist to the season. And for those with a holiday elf visitor, this game can easily become part of your daily holiday surprises.

What Is the Elf-Themed Candy Dice Game?

The concept is simple but loads of fun! Players roll dice and follow the instructions, which may involve passing candy, unwrapping a treat, or giving a sweet gift to someone else. The goal? Share the holiday cheer (and candy!) with everyone in a fun, interactive way. Each roll keeps the game moving, and by the end, everyone has had their fill of laughter and delicious treats.

What You Need:

Christmas Elf Doll
Our printable Elf-themed Candy Dice Game set
Dice (one or two)
A variety of small candies, chocolates, or holiday-themed treats
A festive spirit!

This game is designed for all ages, making it the perfect activity for both kids and adults to enjoy together. Plus, it’s super easy to set up and play—just print out the game, grab some dice and candy, and you’re ready to go!

How to Play the Candy Dice Game

Set Up the Game: Lay out a bowl of candy or treats in the center of the table. Each player will need access to the dice and their own handful of candy to start.
Roll and Play: Players take turns rolling the dice and following the instructions on the printable game sheet. Each number corresponds to a fun action—some will have you give candy to others, some will let you keep a piece for yourself, and others may have a little playful twist like trading candy or passing candy around the table.
Keep the Fun Going: The game continues until everyone’s had a few turns, and candy has been swapped, shared, and enjoyed! It’s a festive way to spread holiday cheer while keeping everyone entertained.

Incorporating Your Christmas Elf Visitor

If your family enjoys having a holiday elf, this game can easily fit into your elf-themed fun. Your elf might introduce the game one morning, leaving a bowl of candy and the printable game set ready to play. Here are a few ideas to make this Elf-themed Candy Dice Game even more magical:

Elf-Delivered Game: Your elf could arrive with the game set up and ready to play, with a note encouraging the family to gather for some sweet fun. The elf might even be holding a piece of candy or standing by the bowl as a hint!
Elf Takes the First Turn: For extra fun, your elf could ‘roll’ the dice first and leave a surprise on the game board. Imagine the excitement when the kids see that the elf has already started the game!
Candy Trail: To build up the excitement, the elf could leave a little candy trail leading to the game setup, inviting the kids to follow the treats and discover the fun dice game waiting for them.
Elf as a Candy Guard: Your elf might act as the guardian of the candy bowl, ensuring that only the dice rolls determine who gets the next piece!

Why You’ll Love This Elf-Themed Game

Fun for All Ages: This game is a hit with kids, teens, and adults alike. It’s an excellent activity to bring together different generations during the holiday season.
Easy to Set Up: With just a printable, some candy, and dice, you can quickly organize a game everyone will enjoy.
Perfect for Parties or Classroom Fun: Whether you’re hosting a family get-together, classroom event, or holiday party, this game is the ideal icebreaker to get everyone involved and laughing.

Make It Extra Festive

Want to go the extra mile? Here are a few more ways to make your Candy Dice Game even more special:

Add a Prize: Consider adding a fun holiday prize for the winner. Maybe the person with the most candy at the end gets to pick the Christmas movie for the night, or the person who shares the most candy gets a special treat!
Create a Christmas Playlist: Play some festive music while the game is going to keep the holiday spirit high.
Decorate Your Space: Add some extra Christmas decorations around the game area, such as twinkling lights, mini Christmas trees, or garlands, to make the setting even more magical.

Next, using your finger, write the message “See You Next Year” on the window.

Why Choose an Easter Scavenger Hunt?

Traditional Easter Egg Hunt Ideas are fun, but why not give it a bit of a twist? Easter scavenger hunts are versatile, engaging, and perfect for all ages. Whether you’re entertaining toddlers, teens, or even adults, a scavenger hunt can add an exciting twist to your holiday. From rhyming riddles to meaningful Bible trivia, these activities bring fun, learning, and family bonding together.

Take a look at these fun ideas below. They will become your favorite traditions!

1. Bible Easter Scavenger Hunt: 24 Questions to Explore the Easter Story

For a meaningful activity that dives into the heart of Easter, try a Bible Easter Scavenger Hunt. This hunt combines the fun of a scavenger game with Easter trivia, encouraging kids to explore the Easter story through 24 Bible-based questions.

How It Works:

Provide each child or team with a Bible.
Provide the 24 Easter trivia questions, each tied to a verse from the Easter story.
Challenge them to find the answers by reading the Bible passages.

Sample Questions:

“What happened at the Temple when Jesus died in Matthew 27:50-51?”
“What did the angel say to the women in Matthew 28:5-8?”
“In Mark 15:21, who helped Jesus carry the cross?”

This Easter Scavenger hunt for older kids is ideal for Sunday school, youth groups, or families looking to deepen their understanding of the Easter story.

2. Christian Easter Story Scavenger Hunt Printable

Celebrate Easter with a meaningful twist by incorporating a Christ-centered scavenger hunt into your festivities! This Christian Easter Scavenger Hunt blends engaging fun with the powerful story of Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection. Designed for families, Sunday school groups, or homeschoolers, this scavenger hunt leads participants through the Easter story using riddles that highlight key moments and symbols of faith.

Highlights of the Christian Easter Scavenger Hunt

Faith-Focused Clues: These different clues guide children to uncover the story of Jesus’ resurrection step by step with 20 rhyming riddles.

Solve Together: As children follow the clues, they’ll journey through the Easter story, reflecting on its powerful message of love and hope.
Celebrate at the End: Conclude the hunt with a special reward—a meaningful keepsake, faith-inspired treat, or even turn this into an Easter Basket Scavenger Hunt with a giant basket from the bunny at the end!

This Christian Easter Scavenger Hunt offers a unique way to reflect on the true meaning of the season while creating lasting memories with your family. Whether used at home or in a group setting, it’s the perfect activity to celebrate the joy of Jesus’ resurrection.

This hunt is customizable—omit clues that don’t fit your home, and rearrange the order to suit your layout.

Easter Scavenger Hunt Ideas for All Ages

How do you make Easter fun? A guided Easter Scavenger Hunt is a fun way to twist up the classic Easter Egg Hunt tradition. With our 20 at-home scavenger hunt clues, hop through the house with Easter-themed clues using rhyming riddles.

There are a few different ways you can handle this Easter Treasure hunt. Have an Easter egg with candy at each location, have a fun little treasure or treat with your clues, or save a big Easter basket for the end of the Easter bunny treasure hunt.

Use scavenger hunts at easter with the following age groups.

Toddlers and Preschoolers: Younger children may need help reading the clues. Pair younger elementary-age kids with an older sibling or adult for an exciting bunny hop from one location to the next. Add interactive fun by encouraging them to “hop like a bunny” or “wiggle their noses” between clues.
Tweens and Teens: Older kids can enjoy more challenging riddles and tailored prizes like money, gift cards, or small gadgets. This ensures they stay engaged and excited about the hunt.
Adults: Why let the kids have all the fun? Create a grown-up scavenger hunt with clues leading to treats like gourmet chocolate, mini wine bottles, self-care products, or even lottery tickets.

Let’s elaborate!

Easter Scavenger Hunt for Toddlers

These Easter Scavenger Hunt clues are very appropriate for preschoolers. If you have a child who cannot read an adult or older sibling can help them read the clues and solve the Easter Scavenger hunt riddles. Have them get silly hopping like a bunny to each new location.

Easter Egg Hunt Clues for Older Child

As a mother of five, I know the older kids tend to be left out of the treasure hunt fun especially when it comes to your outdoor Easter egg hunt. Apparently no one likes to see a teen with an Easter egg basket out racing young kids. While the little kids can delight in the outside Easter Egg treasure hunt fun, allow your youth and tweens to enjoy an at home Easter Treasure hunt. Fill the teen eggs with only something they would love like make-up, new phone chargers, fuzzy socks, sour candy, or even money!

Easter Egg Riddles for Adults

Gift your spouse some inner childhood Easter fun. Use these Easter egg hunt riddles for adults instead of the kids. Fill plastic eggs with fancy candy one would never share with the kids. Alternative Easter Egg fillers for adults could also include mini alcohol bottles, socks, tie, self-care products, or even lottery tickets.

Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt

What about a fun twist? Try this alternative to Easter morning. Another fun way to twist up the traditional Easter Egg hunt is with glow in the dark eggs. You can buy glow in the dark eggs or make your own DIY glow in the dark eggs. Pair with your treasure hunt clues for a fun adventure and prize after the sun goes down.

All of these fun Easter ideas can be a scavenger hunt with eggs or without.

Easter Scavenger Hunt FAQs

Do I have to use all 20 Easter Scavenger Hunt Clues?

Not at all! Tailor the hunt to your space and audience. In the scavenger hunts with clue cards, you can split these Easter Scavenger Hunt clues. For example, if you don’t have a flower pot or the freezer is not a place you want your child to go, omit that treasure hunt card. In the Easter Story scavenger hunt, try to eliminate as few cards as possible as it tells the story of Easter with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

What are fun Easter Games?

Scavenger Hunts make fun Easter games for groups or inviduals. You can find similar content and more fun Easter game ideas. These include Easter Minute to Win it Games and Easter Party Games.

Who is this Treasure Hunt Appropriate for?

These treasure hunts can be used with toddlers, young kids, teens, and even adults. The riddles would be geared to a child, but there is no reason that an inner child cannot have fun with the Easter activity too. Pair older kids with younger kids that cannot read or solve riddles.

Do you use Easter eggs in this hunt?

The use of Plastic Easter eggs and the amount of prizes is up to you. Have an Easter egg with a treat at each clue stop or have a large prize at the end of the treasure hunt. Adapt to what works for your home, family or Easter party guests.

What are good prize ideas?

Candy is a classic choice, but mix it up with small toys, trinkets, or experience-based prizes like “movie night” or “pizza party” coupons. For example, keep it simple and prize ideas can include candy – just like your traditional egg hunt. To twist it up and personalize your hunt. Fun things to put in Easter eggs are money, stickers, socks, rings, necklaces, erasers, and small trinkets. One alternative is experiences. Write on a piece of paper like popcorn night, pizza out, go to the movie theater, etc. Your child can trade in their coupons throughout the ear for entertainment events with mom or dad. These are things you might otherwise do, anyway.

When is a good time to have a scavenger hunt?

There are many times of year you can host a scavenger hunt. Our favorite is the Birthday Scavenger Hunt leading your child to find a birthday present at each stop along the away. Also look at the Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Camping Scavenger Hunt. See more here.

If you are looking for a good Valentine’s Day Craft for kids, take a look at these Valentine’s activity ideas. These crafts for older and younger kids can be used in Children’s Bible Study, Kids’ Church, Youth Groups, and more.

For Sunday School teachers and educators, this day provides a unique chance to combine creative crafts with the teachings of the Bible, making it both fun and spiritually enriching for children.

Did you know the Greek word Phileo is found 32 times in the Bible? Phileo comes from the word phílos (loved, dear, friend) means to be a friend to another, to be fond of an individual, or to have the liking of an object. It shows affection for another. Phileo is mentioned 32 times in the King James Bible and can be found in the books of Acts, John, and Luke.

Additional Ways to Recognize Christian Valentine’s Day in Children’s Church

Beyond these Valentine’s Day Bible crafts and activities, there are countless simple ideas to celebrate February 14th in ways that honor God’s love and teach children the most important things about love, kindness, and faith. Here are some fun ideas that can inspire meaningful connections in your Sunday School classroom or children’s ministry.

Organize a Valentine’s Day Themed Bible Study

Dive into God’s Word with a Bible study focused on love, kindness, and compassion. Choose passages like 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, John 15:12, or Luke 10:29–37 (the story of the Good Samaritan). Use object lessons or simple activities to help children understand how they can reflect God’s love in their daily lives. Incorporate hymns or worship songs about love, and encourage children to share examples of how they’ve shown love to family members or siblings.

Host a Valentine’s Day Card-Making Session

Provide art supplies and printable templates for children to create heartfelt Valentine’s Day cards. Encourage them to write love notes or even a love letter to God, thanking Him for His blessings. Incorporate Bible verses about love, such as John 3:16 or Romans 5:8, into the card designs. Suggest they give these cards as a Valentine’s Day gift to parents, volunteers, or someone in need of encouragement.

Plan a Charity or Service Project

Teach children how to share God’s love by organizing a community outreach project. Visit a nursing home or children’s hospital to deliver handmade cards or small Valentine’s Day gifts. Consider creating care packages with scriptures, love-themed artwork, and small tokens of appreciation. This is a wonderful way to turn February 14th into a day of sharing blessings with others.

Encourage a Family Movie Night or Worship Evening

Invite families to gather for a Valentine’s-themed movie night featuring a Christian film that highlights love, kindness, or God’s grace. Pair the movie with a short devotional or gospel message. Alternatively, host a worship night where children and families can sing hymns, reflect on scripture, and celebrate God’s love together.

Create a Love Notes Wall or Display

Set up a “Love Notes” wall in the classroom where children can write and post notes of encouragement, appreciation, and gratitude for their peers, siblings, or family members. This simple idea fosters a sense of community and emphasizes how much God’s love is reflected in our interactions with others.

Share the Gospel Through Valentine’s Object Lessons

Use Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to teach an object lesson about love. For example, demonstrate God’s love with a heart-shaped mirror, explaining how His love reflects through us to others. Incorporate scripture to show that His love is the greatest blessing of all.

Host an Art and Poetry Session Focused on God’s Love

Provide children with supplies to create Valentine’s Day artwork or write poems about love. Challenge them to include Bible verses, hymns, or worship lyrics in their creations. Display the finished pieces around the room or share them with the church congregation as a Valentine’s Day gift from the children.

By incorporating these ideas into your Valentine’s Day celebration, you can create an environment where children feel loved, valued, and connected to God’s Word. From simple crafts to meaningful activities, these fun ideas ensure that the focus remains on the gospel message and the universal theme of love that binds us all together.
