George’s Egg Hunt in Childers

If you’re after an Easter-style activity that feels more like an adventure than a sugar rush, George’s Egg Hunt is a lovely option. It’s designed as a clue trail that takes families on a walk through town, with plenty of little “look closely!” moments along the way. For kids, that treasure-hunt feeling is often the best part they get to lead, solve riddles, and feel like they’re on a mission. For parents, it’s a simple way to get outside and explore Childers at an easy pace during the holidays.

George is visiting for one day and has set up an eggciting clue trail around the streets and shops of Childers, running between 9am and 3pm. Children follow the trail and collect colourful egg cut-outs, with each one revealing the next clue. The starting hint is very clear: “Where books are borrowed is where you can start your hunt” so families will begin at the local library. This activity is free, suited to kids up to 12, and no bookings are necessary, which makes it an easy last-minute plan.

Activities like this are great because they blend movement, problem-solving, and local connection. Kids practise reading clues, keeping track of steps, and working together all without it feeling like “learning”. And because the trail moves through town, it encourages families to notice local shops and familiar places in a new way. It can also be a gentle confidence boost for kids who love puzzles and stories, because they get to be the “expert” leading the hunt. If you’ve got friends with kids of a similar age, it’s an easy one to do together you can follow the trail, take a break for a snack, and keep going when everyone’s ready.
