Easter Games

Egg Relay Race

The way you play this game is to have at least 15 kids and/or adults.If you were playing with 15 people you would need 5 hard-boiled eggs because there are 3 people on a team and you get the point.Well,you put the egg on the spoon and run with it to the next person in the line(you need to put the three people in a line about 10 to 15 feet apart.)If you drop the egg then you have to go back to YOUR starting point and run with it again.

Whoever wins gets the desired prize of the person who is responsible for holding the race.There are first,second, and third places.

Egg Roll

Here is another easter game my children love. Mark off a start and stop point anywhere from 5 to 10 feet apart. Using a hard boiled egg ( can be decorated or plain) have the kids down on hands and knees. Roll the egg across the floor using only their noses. The first one to the finish line without touching the egg with their hands is the winner.

Bunny, Bunny, Hop....
This game is just like duck duck goose, with 2 changes.
1. Obviously, the words change to "bunny" as you tap each child, and "hop" when one child is selected.
2. Instead of running around the circle, players hop with their feet together.

Egg Toss

No Easter games can be complete without a round of egg toss.
People pair-off and face each other at a starting line. each pair is given one egg. An official blows a whistle(or shouts some appropriate term), and each person takes a large step backwards. The person in each pair with the egg tosses it to the person without. When all couples have completed their toss, the official signals for a second round and the process repeats (large step backward, toss, pause, etc, etc).
If a couple does not successfully complete its toss, and the egg has not broken, they return to the starting line. If it breaks, they're out. The couple that's left in the end (presumably far away from the starting line) wins.
Use raw eggs or water balloons for maximum excitement. Game is best with at least five couples.

Easter Egg Match-Up

Collect different colored plastic eggs. Take the eggs apart and have your child find two egg halves of the same color and put them together.

Easter Fishing Game

Tie 3 feet of string to a wooden spoon. Attach a magnet to the end of the string. Cut and laminate many different colored Easter Shapes (eggs lambs and bunnies) from construction paper (not too big though). Attach a paper clip to each shape. Spread the shapes on the floor and let your child try to catch the shapes. Have them try to catch the red shape, or the biggest shape. For a twist, label the shapes with letters or numbers. Ask the children to catch a specific shpae, or ask them which shape they caught.

Spoon Walk

Put an egg (can also use a marshmallow) on a spoon and walking across an area; make an obstacle course if you like. Can also play where you have to pass it to a partner to go back to the beginning. If the egg is dropped, you have to start over. Grown ups have to put the spoon in their mouths.
You can also play hide and seek: all of the people who are hiding must balance an object on a spoon as they dash for a hiding spot. If it falls, that's where they have to hide.
