In honour of the holiday this weekend, I thought I’d post my first themed Five for Friday post.  So here is a list of 5 ways to celebrate Easter with a bit of geek in it.

  1. Do an entirely RPG style Easter egg hunt.  When it’s all on paper, you can have as elaborate a treasure hunt as you like. You can incorporate treasure chest, secret doors, and evil creatures that all have real chocolate eggs as treasure.  Then your participants can roll for initiative and then race to see who can uncover the most loot.
  2. For those craftily inclined . . . modify (or make from scratch) a stuffed Rabbit of Caerbannog1
  3. If you have a house full of geeks, then do an egg hunt with little geek things hidden inside the plastic eggs –  a new set of dice or some miniatures would fit nicely inside.
  4. Create a treasure hunt with clues put inside plastic easter eggs.  Or, perhaps just sets of coordinates to follow for those ‘geo’ inclined.
  5. Decorate your eggs with a geek them.  Need inspiration?  Check out these photos by flickr user rakka.  ((I’d love to do some thing year, but we’ll be spending out time applying paint to walls instead of eggs this weekend.))
