This treasure hunt uses the first letter of each clue to spell LIGHT OF JESUS. Help kids connect the idea that Jesus is the light of the world in a fun way with this Glow in the Dark Egglo Eggs treasure hunt. Use at home in the dark with the lights off (carefully). Give the kids flashlights for reading clues, or let them use the glow eggs for light. Print out the clues into strips and curl them around a pencil, like a scroll. Put the strips inside Egglo Eggs (charge with light as instructed) and hide the eggs in order. Let kids go from one egg to another following the clues. Give them a basket and make sure they keep each clue (otherwise they will drop it and run off to the next egg). Read more
