An egg hunting is a game in which a decorated egg or Easter egg is hidden for children to discover. Real boiled eggs, usually dyed or painted, plastic made eggs stuffed with chocolate or candy, or egg-shaped chocolates wrapped in foil with various sizes hidden in various places. These games are often played outdoors, but can also be played indoors. Children usually collect eggs in a basket. When hunting is complete, prizes may be awarded for various achievements, such as the largest number of eggs collected, for the largest or smallest eggs, for the most eggs of a certain color, gift or booby. The original egg can then be used in the egg tapping contest. If an egg filled with confetti left from Mardi Gras (cascarones) is used, then an egg fights may occur. Eggs are placed with varying degrees of concealment, to accommodate children of varying ages and developmental levels. In the tradition of the people of Southern Germany it is customary to add an extra hurdle to the game by placing them to places that are difficult to reach between nettles or thorns.

Histori

The egg is a symbol of the earth's rebirth in pre-Christian spring celebrations. However, the Easter egg itself is defined by the early Christians as the Easter symbol of the resurrection of Jesus: the egg symbol is likened to the tomb where Christ rose. Lizette Larson-Miller, a professor with the Graduate Theological Union of Berkeley, traces the specific habits of Easter egg hunts to Protestant Christian Protestant Martin Luther, stating "We know that Martin Luther has an Easter egg hunt where people hide eggs for women and children, and may have this connection back to the idea of ​​the egg being the tomb. "At least since the 17th century the idea of ​​the Easter Bunny to bring Easter eggs has been known. The novelty of the introduction of Easter egg hunting to England was evidenced by AE Housman's first lecture as a Latin Professor at University College, London in 1892, where he said, "In Germany at Easter they hide colored eggs about homes and gardens that children can consoling themselves in finding them. "

Rev. MaryJane Pierce Norton, General Secretary of the Minister of Leadership at the General Council of Discipleship, stated that "there is something about going hunting eggs just as we might go hunting Jesus at the tombs and when we find them it is a joy that the women have when they reach the first grave and found out that Jesus is no longer there. "Traditionally the game is linked to Easter and Easter eggs, but is also popular with spring birthday parties. Egg hunting is the subject of the Guinness Book of World Records ; Homer, Georgia, United States registered in 1985 with 80,000 eggs to hunt in the city of 950 people.

To allow children to take part in the egg hunt despite visual impairment, eggs have been created that emit clicks, beeps, sounds, or music.
