Easter Games

11. Plastic Egg Memory Match

For this game from Creative Kids, you’ll need plastic eggs, jelly beans, and a timer.

• Separate plastic eggs, placing each half down on the table with matching jelly bean pairs under them.
• Try to make a match by uncovering two eggs at a time.
• If there is no match, place eggs back over jelly beans and try again.
• The object of the game is to make all the matches in 60 seconds.

12. Peeps in a Nest

This game found at Lifeway Kids looks like a hoot! Have one player hold a bucket on top of the head while the other player tries to toss as many peeps into the bucket as possible in 60 seconds.

13. Easter Basket Scavenger Hunt

I found this scavenger hunt at Kids Parties. Get an Easter basket for each player filled with typical Easter basket items and hide each item around the house or yard. Give each child a paper with clues as to what they are looking for, and a hint as to the location of the basket so they can put the remaining items inside. Then send them off!

Who doesn’t love a good sack race? All you need is a pillow case or burlap sack and a ton of energy! I found this bunny hop sack race at SheKnows.
