Easter games can be so much fun and a great way for kids (and adults!) to burn off some of that sugar from all those treats and candy! We’ve rounded up a list of our favorite Easter games that the whole family can enjoy. Think about making these games an annual tradition and your kids will look forward to Easter for more than just what the bunny brings!
Easter Egg Hunt
An egg hunt is a classic Easter game and tons of fun! This was always my favorite game as a kid. Fill plastic eggs with treats and prizes and hide them around your house – inside or out. The kids will love hunting them down and discovering the treats inside. Check out step-by-step directions here.
Jelly Bean Trail
Create a trail of jelly beans from your kid’s room to their Easter basket. On Easter morning, kids follow the trail and find their basket waiting at the end!
Easter Egg Roll
For 136 years now, the White House has hosted an Easter Egg Roll with upwards of 30,000 people. You can host your own egg rolling party and join in the fun too! Here’s how to set up the game.
Bunny’s Eggs
Much like “Pin the Tail on the Donkey”, in this game kids are blindfolded and each take a turn at pinning their egg in the bunny’s arms. Who ever gets their egg closest to actually being in the arms is the winner. Here’s a full description of the game here.
Egg Scramble
In this creative tag game, a course is set up and one person is the bunny and the rest of the players are various egg colors. If the bunny can tag the egg when its color is called, that person becomes the next bunny and the game continues. Check out more about the Egg Scramble.
The Bunny Hop
You may have seen the Bunny Hop at weddings and parties, but it can become a fun Easter tradition as well. Find some fun music and teach everyone the steps!
Duck Walk Race
If this game doesn’t get everyone laughing, I don’t know what will! Each player lines up at the starting line and squats down and grabs their ankles. The first person to waddle over the finish line wins!
The Egg and Spoon
Participants walk the course balancing an egg on their spoon with no help from their other hand. The first person to make it to the finish line without dropping and breaking their egg wins! More details here.
