How to play

Bunny, Egg, or Hunt is a fun and energetic Easter game that is perfect for younger children, especially preschoolers. It can be played both indoors and outdoors, making it versatile for any space.

To start, prepare the game area by choosing various items, such as colorful plastic Easter eggs. Scatter them across the room, garden, or playground, ensuring that some are visible while others are hidden to add an extra challenge.

Gather the children and have them stand facing you. Then, give the following instructions: When you shout “Bunny,” all the children must hop like a rabbit. When you shout “Egg,” the children should lie on the ground and curl up, mimicking an egg. When you shout “Hunt,” the children will race to collect eggs until you give the next instruction.

For an additional twist, if you have eggs in different colors, you can shout a specific color, such as “Hunt blue!” The children must then search for and collect as many blue eggs as possible.

Continue playing with various instructions until all the eggs are found. At the end, count the eggs and see which child or team has collected the most!

How to play

This fun Easter candy game will keep the kids entertained and engaged.

Start by giving each player five candies. Then, place a pile of additional candies in the center. A good rule of thumb is to have at least 20 candies in the pile if there are 6 players (10 for 3 players).

Players take turns rolling the die. Depending on the number that comes up, they must follow one of the following actions:

1. Take one candy from the pile.
2. Steal a candy from one of the other players.
3. Take a candy from the player to the right.
4. Take two pieces of candy from the pile.
5. Steal one candy from two different players.
6. Give away one candy to another player.

The first player to collect 11 candies wins the game!

How to play

This Easter game is a bit more challenging and is sure to entertain both participants and onlookers. It’s perfect for teams of mixed ages and remains enjoyable even without kids.

Since it can get a bit messy, make sure to play this game outside!

Start by dividing the participants into pairs and giving each team a raw egg (you can choose hard-boiled eggs if you prefer). The objective is for each pair to toss the egg back and forth to one another. After each successful toss, all teams will take one step back, increasing the distance with each round.

If the egg breaks at any point, that team is out of the competition. The team that successfully tosses their egg the farthest without breaking it wins!

How to play

Here, you will find a challenging parlor game that is perfect for an Easter gathering with friends and family.

Start by deciding whether the players will compete as individuals or in teams. Provide each player or team with a pen and a sheet of paper that lists all the letters of the alphabet.

The goal is for participants to come up with an Easter-related term for each letter of the alphabet within 5 minutes. For example, for the letter “E,” they could write “Easter Bunny.”

The player or team that completes the most letters wins the game.

How to play

This one will surely deliver if you’re looking for a fast-paced and fun Easter relay game.

The game challenges the participants to quickly dress up as the Easter Bunny, hop onto a broomstick, and race through a designated course. The course can be as simple as rounding a tree or completing a lap around the house.

Once a player finishes the course, they must remove the costume and pass it, along with the broomstick, to the next team member. The team that finishes the relay first wins the game!

Outfit Suggestions

Ensure the outfit can be easily worn over regular clothes for a quick change.

• Easter bunny ears
• A bow tie
• A vest
• A colorful shirt

How to play

The goal in this Easter game relay is to move a plastic egg (or a chocolate bunny, raw egg, or candy) the fastest.

Place five paper bags in a line in front of each team to set up the game. Ensure the bags are no more than six feet apart, leaving extra space between the rows to prevent teams from colliding.

Start by placing a plastic egg in the bag closest to the starting point. When the signal to start is given, the first player from each team runs to the bags, picks up the egg, and places it in the following bag in the line. After placing the egg, they return to their team and pass the turn to the next player.

The next player then runs, picks up the egg, and places it in the following bag, moving it down the row toward the finish line. The game continues until the egg reaches the last bag. The final player then picks it up and races to cross the finish line to win the game.

The beauty of this game lies in its flexibility. You can have different numbers of players on each team (with some players running multiple times), adjust the distances, or add more bags for larger groups. Using raw eggs also increases the challenge of the game.

How to play

This Easter game is a fun and engaging activity that everyone can enjoy. To get started, gather your guests around a table and decide whether to have them compete individually or in teams.

Prepare a list of at least 8 Easter-related words. Shuffle the letters of each word to make them more challenging to guess, then write the scrambled words on a paper, print them, and hand them out during the game.

Each team or player will race to unscramble the words as quickly as possible. The first team or player to correctly unscramble all the words wins the game!

How to play

This exciting and challenging outdoor game is perfect for both kids and adults to enjoy! It’s an excellent choice for Easter, birthday parties, or any gathering. Kids, in particular, will have a blast playing.

In this game, each player receives a spoon, which they hold by placing the handle in their mouth. The objective is to balance an egg on the spoon while racing through a designated course. The player who completes the course the fastest wins!

During the race, players are not allowed to touch the egg or the spoon with their hands. If a player drops the egg but it remains uncracked, they can pick it up and restart from the beginning. However, if the egg cracks, that player is out of the competition.

You can design the course as simple or challenging as you like, whether it involves running to and around an object or incorporating more complex obstacles.

Relay

For a fun twist, turn the game into a relay! After completing the course, each team member passes the egg to the next participant. The first team to finish wins the competition.

How to play

Egg boules is a fun Easter game that can be easily played indoors or outdoors, provided you have a suitable garden or lawn.

The game’s rules are simple, making it suitable for participants of all ages. Feel free to invite kids, teenagers, friends, and grandparents to join the fun.

To start, everyone decorates or paints their eggs. If you’re short on time, you can write each player’s name on their egg. Next, take an undecorated egg and roll it away on the floor. Then, one by one, the players roll their decorated eggs. The goal is to get as close as possible to the undecorated egg.

Award 1 point to the three players whose eggs are closest to the undecorated egg. Then, roll the undecorated egg again and repeat the game. Play 5 to 7 rounds, and the participant who earns the most points wins.

For added variety, try playing on different surfaces, such as floors and carpets.

How to play

Get your kids ready for a classic Easter egg hunt!

This activity is a super fun way to engage kids of all ages. Start by hiding plenty of eggs in an area—whether inside your house, in the garden, or anywhere you have space. Make sure to spread the eggs out in tricky spots to increase the excitement! The eggs can be plastic ones, candy-filled, chocolate eggs, or eggs containing small toys.

Next, give each child a basket. Their task is to find and collect as many eggs as they can. Setting a time limit will add extra excitement. If you want a competition, the person who finds the most eggs wins.

If the eggs are edible, let the kids keep the ones they find. If not, you can have them trade the eggs they collect for candy or other prizes.

Variations

• Play music while the kids are searching for their eggs. When the music stops, everyone must freeze until it starts again.
• Announce that a golden egg is hidden. Place it in a tricky spot, and let it contain a special prize.
• If the kids can read, put a little note on some of the eggs with tasks they need to complete before continuing their hunt.
• If many kids participate, make it a relay. Allow one team member at a time to hunt, and then they must run back, allowing the next person to go. The team that collects the most eggs wins.

How to play

This classic Easter game is best played outdoors on the grass or lawn. While kids will love it, don’t hesitate to challenge adults and teenagers as well - it’s fun for everyone!

To start, give each player a spoon and a hard-boiled egg. Have everyone line up at the starting line. When the game begins, players must roll their eggs toward the finish line using only their spoons. The first player to get their egg across the finish line wins!

Egg Rolling Relay

For an added twist, turn the game into a relay race by dividing the participants into teams. Each team gets one egg and one spoon. Team members will take turns rolling their eggs to the finish line. The team that crosses the finish line first wins the race!

Additionally, you can assign different tasks for each team member while rolling the egg, such as:

• Roll the egg while jumping on one leg.
• Roll the egg using your non-dominant hand.
• Roll the egg while moving only backward.
• Put the spoon in your mouth and roll the egg.
• Using only your head to roll the egg.

How to play

Egg tapping is a fun and easy Easter game suitable for all ages. Whether indoors or outdoors, it’s a great way to challenge kids, siblings, parents, friends, or even grandparents - everyone can join in!

To start, give each participant a hard-boiled egg. If you have extra time, consider letting players paint and decorate their eggs before the competition begins, adding a creative touch to the fun.

Two contestants face off by gently tapping the tops of their eggs together. The player whose egg cracks is out, while the winner moves on to the next round.

The competition continues until only one uncracked egg remains. The owner of that egg is declared the winner!

How to play

This fun Easter game adds creativity to your festivities and is particularly enjoyed by kids. Participants can paint, doodle, or decorate their eggs, making it an enjoyable experience!

To set up the game, create a slope where the eggs can roll. You can use a tilted ironing board indoors, create some kind of slope in the garden, or utilize a naturally inclined surface outside for an added challenge.

Each player takes turns placing their decorated egg at the top of the slope. When they release it, the egg rolls down, and the goal is to see how far it can travel.

After everyone has rolled their egg, the winner is the person whose egg traveled the farthest from the starting point. If the kids are having fun, feel free to play another round!

How to play

Finish the Sentence is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a fun and lighthearted activity! This game is a great way to get everyone involved, and I’ve provided two options for how to play. Prepare a list of Easter-related words, sentences, or phrases (about 8 to 12 works well). Make sure to hand out a copy to each participant, and don’t forget to provide pens!

Option 1 - Match Against All

In this option, players try to finish their sentences in the same way that most others do. Each time another player finishes a sentence in the same way as you, you earn 1 point each.

Option 2 - Match in Pairs

Here, players pair up and try to finish their sentences in the same way as their partner.

Once everyone is finished, the pairs review their answers and discuss their choices. Each pair earns one point for every sentence where their answers match. The pair with the most matches wins!

Some Easter-related Words to Use:

• Easter
• Egg
• Chocolate
• Bunny
• Spring

Ready-made printable available

If you want to avoid preparing the material yourself, this activity is also available as a ready-to-print printable in the Easter package:

• “Finish the Sentence” in US Half Letter / A5 format (+ all other Easter games)
• 10 Easter-related words players must build words/phrases from.
• An instruction sheet with rules and how to score.

How to play

This simple yet challenging Easter parlor game requires minimal preparation, making it perfect for a quick and enjoyable activity. Plus, it can be played multiple times by changing the word used in each round.

To get started, write down an Easter-related word or phrase that is at least eight letters long. Participants will then scramble the letters to create as many words as possible. A great example is “EASTER EGG HUNT.” From that phrase, players can form words like “shrug,” “gathers,” “generates,” and “teenagers.”

Each word found earns points based on the number of letters it contains. For example, “shrug” (5 letters) would score 5 points, while “teenagers” (9 letters) would score 9 points.

While the game can be played individually, it is more enjoyable in small groups of 2-3 players. Set a timer for 10 minutes, and after the time is up, the player or team with the most points wins!

This low-key, enjoyable game is perfect for playing with adults during Easter.

How to play

Name 3 is a fun and engaging parlor game that everyone can play. To prepare, list 6 to 8 categories related to Easter.

Print one copy of the lists for each player and provide pens. Under each category, players will need to write three answers. The goal is to match your answers with as many other players as possible. Once everyone has finished writing, review one category at a time to see what everyone wrote.

Scoring works as follows:

• Every answer earns at least 1 point.
• Players receive an extra point for each other player who matches their answer in the same category.
• The order of answers does not matter; only individual answers must match, not the entire category.

Example: If five players wrote “Bunny” in the category “Animals associated with Easter”, each of those players gets 5 points. If a player wrote “cat” in this category but received no matches from others, they get 1 point for that answer.

After scoring all categories, the player with the highest total points wins.

Write down a list of famous rabbits, bunnies, or hares. These can be from children’s books, movies, songs, TV shows, etc. Then, write a statement that matches each rabbit. You can easily adapt the game to include recognizable rabbits for all ages.

Example: Lives in the Hundred Acre Wood and is friends with Winnie the Pooh. Correct answer: Rabbit

Next, divide the participants into teams or play individually. The goal is to match each statement with the correct rabbit. The person or team with the most correct answers wins.

How to play

For this lively outdoor party game, you’ll need pancakes and frying pans. It’s perfect for both kids and adults.

The rules are simple but add a hilarious twist to a classic race. Each player must run to a designated turnaround point, such as a tree or a stick, and then return while carrying a frying pan and flipping a pancake three times during the race. If a pancake hits the ground, that flip doesn’t count, and the player must flip it again. It’s a good idea to have some extra pancakes on hand, just in case any get dropped or damaged during the race. (Of course, you can play with something other than pancakes.)

The first person to cross the finish line wins, and the chaotic flips and fumbles are almost as enjoyable to watch as they are to participate in!

Team Relay

If there are many participants, consider organizing a team relay version of the race. In this format, each runner completes their lap with their own pancake and then hands the frying pan to the next team member. The next runner takes the pan, adds their pancake, and races off while flipping it. This version is fast-paced, funny, and exciting!

How to play

Challenge your friends and family with this fun team game that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults. Start by dividing the participants into teams, with each team forming a line.

Each player receives a spoon, which they hold in their mouth. The player at the front of each line has an egg placed in their spoon. When the starting signal sounds, the player with the egg must pass it to the next person in line using only their spoons - hands are not allowed! The objective is to pass the egg from spoon to spoon.

The team that successfully passes the egg to every team member first wins the competition. If the egg is dropped, the team must start over from the beginning.

Have fun!

The egg hunt is a wonderful Easter activity for kids, and it’s just as much fun for adults, so feel free to invite them to join in!

To set up the game, start by purchasing eggs for the scavenger hunt. These can be chocolate eggs or candy-filled eggs - the important thing is that they contain something exciting for all participants. Make sure to buy one egg for each person involved.

Next, hide the eggs in various locations. You can place them in your garden, around your house, or throughout your apartment. Ensure that the eggs are hidden in different spots so participants won’t find the “wrong” egg.

Now comes the fun part: prepare small clues to guide the participants to the hidden eggs. You can create these clues a few days in advance. Write each clue on a separate slip of paper for each participant. You can provide just one clue for each egg or prepare multiple clues for each participant, which they will find sequentially, ultimately leading them to their egg.

The clues can be simple, like a single word (e.g., “Kitchen”), or you can draw a map of part of your house or garden, marking the spot where the egg is hidden with an “X.” For older kids or adults, you can get more creative with clues, such as “The egg is hidden near something yellow.”

When the scavenger hunt begins, hand each participant their unique clue, and let the egg hunt commence! The first person to find their egg wins, but don’t worry - everyone will leave with an egg, so no one will be disappointed.

How to play

Word Pyramid is an enjoyable word game that can be easily tailored for any occasion, including Easter!

To set up the game, arrange squares in a pyramid shape, starting with three squares at the top and increasing by one square for each row below. This layout will require longer words or phrases for each row. Print the pyramid template on paper and distribute it to the participants.

The rules are simple: players must fill each row of the pyramid with an Easter-related word or phrase. Each word can only be used once; for example, if someone writes “egg” in one row, they cannot use “eggs” in a subsequent row. However, variations like “eggshell” are permitted.

The first player to complete all the rows of the pyramid wins the game!
