easter egg hunt/war

Easter is coming up. Here in Ecuador, Easter is known as Semana Santa...and while we still have a few weeks until then I chose to utilize/share my recent Easter packages from home to celebrate Semana Santa with the kids I work with.
Thanks to my family's incredible Easter packages, I was able to gather up about 30 easter eggs, chocolates and other little candies to hold this spontaneous easter egg hunt today in the neighborhood Laura Flores.
Upon my arrival the kids were whining, asking what activity we would be doing today, telling me they couldnt make it, etc. When I mentioned the word "surprises" I suddenly was faced with way more children than I had prizes for, all ready to participate. I explained that in the USA we have a custom of holding easter egg hunts. I asked them all to form a large circle, close their eyes, hold hands, and sing a song that we made up on the spot. As the kids sang, I ran around the soccer field hiding the eggs. They showed little interest in closing their eyes, a headstart in finding the eggs was obviously more important.
This concept of a circle with eyes closed lasted for less than one minute, when they all gave up on that idea and thought it would be better to race to find the eggs that I had not finished hiding. This turned into everyone screaming, chasing me with the bag of eggs, me screaming at them to keep singing and close their eyes, etc.
Things really only went downhill from here. What was fun and games turned into crying, fighting, and very upset children. Easter eggs were being ripped apart, hidden in pants, and were the reason for much chaos this afternoon.
Kids are really incredible. I heard every excuse in the world as to why, "I deserve ANOTHER egg because I just found this EMPTY eggshell on the ground... I swear it was empty and I didn't get ANY chocolate!" Or...
Child 2- "Please Mia, oh PLEASE give me an egg...you see its for my sister. She didnt get one. Shes crying, see! Here she is shes really upset."
Me- "I already gave her an egg. And I gave you one too one minute ago."
Child 2- "No!!! Ok... well fine, its for my cousin! I promise! I will bring it to my cousin shes just a baby she couldnt come!"
Me-"mmmhmm..."
The afternoon carried on this way, however things just kept on escalating. Eventually, when there were no more eggs, I was swarmed by 30 children begging me for more eggs. I promised them over and over again there were no more eggs, but the begging continued. Finally, when they just would not stop, I let them search my bags, and everything I had to prove to them my honesty. Nothing worked.
As I write this I just so happen to be snacking on a Reese's Peanut Butter cup, which I did NOT give up in today's easter egg hunt/war.
Feliz Semana Santa!
