The first half of the Easter Bank Holiday weekend is forecast to be bright and mild, providing plenty of opportunities to get moving outdoors or to simply relax in the back garden while the BBQ heats up.
Completely out of new ideas on what to do with your free time? Not to worry, we have put together some suggestions on how to enjoy your long weekend, as well as some activities to keep the kids busy.&nbsp;
<h2 style="text-align:left;">Treat Yourself — Easter Egg Hunts With an Adult Twist</h2>

Reverse Easter Egg Hunt 
Want to relive your childhood for an afternoon? After the kids have finished their hunt, consider getting them to hide a few eggs for you. It's a win-win: they will have great fun doing it, and you might just end up enjoying yourself too! (as well as any tasty chocolate you find — mini Lindt eggs, anyone?!)
Charcuterie Scavenger Hunt 
Fancy something savoury? Hide some of the ingredients of a charcuterie board — dry goods such as nuts, crackers, dried fruits and olive and chutney jars — around the house or garden. Then get the kids, your partner, or housemates to follow your clues and bring the ingredients back to the kitchen, where you can assemble the board together.&nbsp;
Sound fun? Here are some <a href="https://www.bhg.com/holidays/easter/games/adult-easter-egg-hunt-ideas/" target="_self">more suggestions</a>.
