Easter Games

This year, have some fun games ready for the kids to play on Easter.  These games are great for family get-togethers, church socials, school parties and homeschool group Easter parties.

DUCK WALK RACE

Have the kids line up at the Start Line, squat down and grasp their ankles

with each hand from behind. On GO,

they waddle to a designated Finish Line. They can’t let go of their ankles or

the are disqualified. The first child

over the Finish Line wins a prize.

EASTER BUNNY TAG

This game is played the same way as tag except that the players must hop; if

a player stops hopping for any reason, they are automatically IT.

EASTER EGG HUNT FOR LITTLE ONES

Hide plastic or styrofoam Easter eggs and let the kids find as many as they

can. No matter how many they find, they all get the same prize (Easter

baskets filled with assorted Easter eggs, little chocolate bunnies, jelly beans,

etc.)

EASTER EGG ROLL GAME

Mark off a start and stop point (the distance can be determined by the age of

the children). Using a decorated Easter egg have the kids down on hands and

knees. Roll the egg across the floor using only there noses. The first one to

the finish line without touching the egg with their hands is the champion nose

roller.

EASTER EGG SPOON RACE

Prepare a race track with clearly defined start and finish lines. Provide each

player with an Easter egg on a spoon and have someone start and time the

race. The person crossing the finish line first wins. For older children make

this race more difficult by pairing off players in teams of two, tie their inner

legs (in two or three places) with old socks or nylon stockings, and give each

of them a spoon to carry with an egg on it.

EASTER EGG TOSS

This is best done outside.

Pair off the kids facing each other. The object of the game is to have the kids

toss an egg back and forth, moving farther away from each other after each

toss. The first one to drop the egg is disqualified. The winning team would

receive a prize For younger kids you can use plastic eggs or even hard-boiled

eggs. For older kids, use fresh eggs. This can be hilarious but rather messy

so be sure the kids are properly dressed for the occasion.
