$1 Kmart item perfect for unexpected Easter use: 'Great idea'
Easter egg hunts are arguably one of the most joyful parts of the annual holiday. The activity brings families together as people race around the backyard trying to find as many chocolate eggs as possible, and can also be just as fun for the person organising the scavenger hunt.
While Easter egg hunts are typically created for children to partake in, one social media user has gone viral after sharing a video of an 'adult Easter egg hunt'. Mother-of-two Tina (@justatinabit) told her followers that she organised a version of the classic game to get adults involved in the Easter celebrations.

She purchased a packet of gold easter eggs and filled them with hand-written notes that read, 'You won a prize', 'Take a shot' and 'Give a shot', as well as money. Tina then hid the eggs in higher locations where the kids wouldn't be able to reach them, and everyone set off on a hunt at the same time.
'Afterwards, everyone opened up their eggs together, redeemed their prizes, and of course, gave and took the shots,' she said in the video. 'This is a fun way to spice up a kid's party. Bottoms up!'
While Tina is based in the US, you can easily recreate the hack in Australia using Kmart's four-pack of Easter Gold Look Hunt Eggs for $1. The retailer also sells a 12-pack of Easter Assorted Hunt Eggs for $3.50 and a 40-pack Easter Hunt Eggs Bucket for $6.
Tina's video has since racked up over half a million views across TikTok and Instagram, with many people commenting that they can't wait to try it themselves.
'I love it! Adults should get a chance to look for eggs too!' one person wrote, while another added, 'Such a great idea!'.
"My family wants to do an adult hunt this weekend!' a third replied, followed by someone else who said, 'How fun is this! Adults get to play too'.
'Fun way to spice up a kids' party, I'm down for it,' a different user shared, with another writing, 'Now this is a solid plan'.
If you're looking for other fun activities to enjoy with your family this Easter, comedian and father-of-three Jimmy Rees tells Yahoo Lifestyle that he loves organising an egg and spoon race.
The former children's entertainer recently posted a video running down the driveway with a Nestlé KitKat Incredible Egg - which has an extra-thick shell to prevent breakage if it drops on the ground - while his kids tried to stop him from reaching the finish line.
'We've got this tennis ball machine, and they were like, 'We'll just throw things at you! Let's get the electric tennis ball firing machine, and we'll just fire them at you while you're running down the driveway',' he recalls. 'I was like, 'Okay, you've all turned evil, but that's fine'.
'It turned out well, lots of slo-mo silliness which was fun.'

Jimmy adds that he and his wife Tori always organise a 'massive' Easter egg hunt for their children, but reuse eggs that they've already been given.
'We often reuse the eggs that they get from the Easter Bunny to do another Easter egg hunt because they just like finding them again,' he remarks. 'Reusing the eggs is genius, because they get so many and they can't count them.'
