17 Fun Easter Games for Kids and Adults Both New Easter Games and Classic Poplar Games

Bunny, Egg, or Hunt is a fun Easter game for the younger kids (think preschool). It works fine to play indoors as well as outdoors.

Prepare the game by sprinkling some of the items you have chosen. For example, maybe you have a lot of plastic Easter eggs in different colors. Sprinkle them across the room/garden/playground. Let many be visible, but also hide some of them.

Then, play the game. First, have all the children standing in front of you. Then you will give different instructions.

When you shout “Bunny” all children must jump like a rabbit. If you shout “Egg” the children must lay down quickly on the ground/floor and try to imitate an egg. When you shout “Hunt” the kids can run around and collect eggs until you tell the next instruction.

If you have eggs in many colors, you can define a specific color like “Hunt blue!”. The kids must now try to find as many blue eggs as possible.

Play for a while with different instructions until the eggs are found. Then you can count them and see which participant/team manages to collect the most.

This is an Easter game of the more challenging kind and will surely be fun for the onlookers. It’s a game where you can have mixed ages in the teams, and it is a game that certainly is entertaining even if no kids are participating.

Play this Easter game outside since it probably will get a little messy.

Start the competition by dividing the participants into couples and providing each with a raw egg (You can, of course, use hard-boiled eggs if you prefer).

The team members must now toss the egg to their teammate. After each completed round, the participants take three steps back each.

If the egg breaks, the pair is out of the competition. The team that manages to toss their egg the farthest wins.

Start by deciding if the players will compete in teams or individually. Then provide each player/team with a pen and a paper containing all the letters in the alphabet.

Now, the participants have 2 minutes to try and write down an Easter-related word starting on each letter in the alphabet.

For example, E - Easter Bunny.

The team/individuals who come up with words for the most letter wins.

If you are looking for a fast-paced Easter relay game, this may be the one.

The goal of this Easter game is to dress up as the Easter bunny as fast as possible and then get on a broomstick and run through a course. The course can, for example, be to round a tree or run one lap around the house.

When the course is finished, the player needs to take off the outfit and hand it over with the broom to the next team member.

The fastest team wins the game.

• A colorful shirt

This is an Easter game that surely will keep the kids entertained.

Provide each player with five candies. Then, arrange a pile with more candy in the middle. A good rule of thumb is to have at least 10 candies in the pile if there are 3 players.

Now, the players take turns rolling the die. Depending on the number of pips shown, they must follow different instructions.

1. Pick one candy from two different players.
2. Pick one candy from the player sitting on your right.
3. Give one candy to another player.
4. Pick two candies from the pile.
5. Steal two candies from another player.
6. Put one candy back in the pile.

The player that first manages to get 11 candies wins the game.

This is a modern version of a popular Easter game from Europe during the 50s. The game is played in two teams (of course, you can have more teams if you want to.).

Prepare the game by placing the paper bags in two rows, with five in each row. Make sure to have some distance (no more than 6 feet) between the bags and even more space between the two rows.

In the two paper bags farthest away, you place an Easter egg in each of them.

When the start signal sounds, the first players in each team runs to the paper bags containing the eggs. They pick them up and place them in the nearest paper bag. Then they run back to the team and send away another team member.

This player will pick up the Easter egg and place it in the following bag (so the eggs are slowly traveling in the rows towards the finish line/starting line).

The game continues until the eggs have traveled through all the paper bags in the row. Then, the last team member runs, picks up the Easter egg, and brings it over the finish line to win.

The nice thing about this game is that you can have different numbers of players in the teams (some players will run several times), arrange different distances, or use more paper bags if there are many participants.

In this outdoor game, kids and grown-ups alike can partake. Play it as a fun easter game outside, during birthday parties, or any other gathering. Especially kids will find this game loads of fun to play.

Give each player a spoon and put the handle in their mouths. They must then balance an egg in the spoon and run a course as fast as possible. The fastest runner wins.

During the competition, no one can touch their egg or spoon with their hands. If the egg is dropped but doesn’t crack, the player can pick it up and start over from the beginning. But if it does crack, the player is out of the competition.

The course can be as simple as running to and rounding something, but you can make it as advanced as you like.

Egg and Spoon Relay Version

Make the game a relay by letting the teams pass the spoon and egg over to the next participant once they’ve completed the course.

The team that first finishes win the competition.

Egg boules is a fun Easter game you can easily play indoors. It, of course, works outdoors too, if you have a suitable garden, lawn, or garden.

The game rules are straightforward, and you can easily have mixed ages. So invite the kids, teenagers, friends, and grandparents to join the game.

The game starts with everyone decorating or painting their egg. If you don’t have time for this, you can write each player’s name on the eggs.

Now, you take an undecorated egg and roll it away on the floor. Then, one by one, the players roll their eggs. The game’s goal is to get closest to the undecorated egg.

Award the three closest eggs with 1 point each and roll the undecorated egg again to repeat the game. Play 5-7 rounds. The participant that has gathered the most points wins the game.

Try to vary the game by playing on both floors and carpets.

Prepare your kids for a classic game of egg hunt!

This is a really fun Easter activity for the kids. All you have to do is hide lots of eggs in an area. It can, for example, be in your house or garden. Then, try to spread the eggs as best as you can.

Next, you equip the kids with a basket each. Now, the kids will try to gather as many eggs as possible. The kid with the most number of eggs wins the game. Have a time limit to make the game more exciting.

If the eggs are eatable, you can let the kids keep the eggs they found. Otherwise, you can let them change the eggs for candy.

The egg hunt is an excellent Easter activity for the kids. However, don’t be afraid to involve other adults in the game.

Prepare the game by buying eggs for the hunt. It can be chocolate eggs or candy-filled eggs. The important thing is that it contains something the kids (or teenagers/adults) are eager to hunt.

Then you hide the eggs in different places. It can be in your garden, inside your house, or apartment. The important thing is not to hide the eggs in the same place.

Next (this can be prepared a few days earlier), you make small clues on where the egg is hidden on a piece of paper. Make one unique slip of paper for each participant.

It can be a single word like “Kitchen,” or you draw a map of some part of the house or garden and mark a spot with a cross where the egg is hidden. If you have older kids, you can write “The egg is hidden near something yellow” and so on.

When the game begins, everyone gets their piece of paper, and the hunt is on. Of course, the participant who finds their egg first wins the game, but no one will be disappointed since everyone gets an egg.

Challenge your friends and family with this fun team game. Play the game with both kids and adults.

Divide the participants into teams and let each team form a line.

Everyone gets a spoon and puts it in their mouth. Then, the player standing at the front of each line gets an egg placed in their spoon.

When the starting signal sounds, the player with the egg must try to pass it on to the next person in line. No hands allowed. The goal is to pass the egg from spoon to spoon.

The team that first manages to pass the egg on to every team member will win the competition. If the egg is dropped, the team must start all over again.

This is an old Easter game that you play outside in the grass or on your lawn. Kids really enjoy it, but don’t be afraid to challenge adults and teenagers as well.

Provide each player with a spoon and a boiled egg. Then let everyone stand in a row at a starting line. When the game begins, the players must roll the egg forward towards the finish line, only using their spoon. The player whose egg crosses the finish line first wins the game.

Egg Rolling Relay Version

Egg tapping is a low-key Easter game you can play with all ages. It is also a game that works fine to play indoors and outdoors. Challenge your kids, siblings, parents, friends, or grandparents - everyone can participate.

Each contestant gets a hard-boiled egg. If you have the time, you can let the players paint and decorate their eggs before the competition begins.

Two contestants then challenge each other by tapping the tops of their eggs together. The contestant whose egg gets cracked have lost, and the winner will continue to the next round of the competition.

The rounds continue until only one uncracked egg remains. Then, the owner of said egg wins.

This is a friendly and fun Easter game that you can play with mixed ages. Play it with kids in school, or challenge the teenagers and older relatives during Easter.

One of the necessary preparations is to print out papers with 8-10 Easter-related words. Then, hand out the papers and let the participants finish the words. If you, for example, wrote the word Easter someone might write Easter egg.

The game can be played in two versions. The first version is played in pairs and the other individually.

Play in Pairs

In the pair game version, the players must finish the words/sentences the same way as their team-mate. One point is given for each matching answer.

The team that gets the most points wins the game.

Individual (everyone against everyone)

Individual competition can be very entertaining, especially in this game version.

The mission for the players is to make a guess that matches the most answers of other participants (for that word/sentence).

One point is given for every matching word. So if two players, for example, wrote Easter egg, they get one point each. If three players wrote Easter candy they get two points each, etc. The player with the most points, in the end, wins the game.

10 Suggestions of Sentences to Finish

Here we have a nice and easy, but yet challenging, parlor Easter game that needs almost no preparation. It can be played many times since you only need to change the word being used in the game.

To prepare the game, you need to write down an Easter-related word/sentence at least eight letters long. The participants will now try to write down as many words as possible that can be found scrambling the letters of the decided word.

One word that works very well is, for example, EASTER EGG HUNT. You can easily find short words and longer ones from this word like shrug, gathers, generates, teenagers, etc.

One point is given for each letter in the word found. Therefore, the word shrug will give five points, and the word teenagers will give nine points.

The game can be played individually, but I recommend playing it in 2-3 people groups since it makes it more fun. Let them have a try for 10 minutes. After that, the team/player who managed to get the most points wins the game.

A friendly, low-key Easter game you can play with adults during Easter.

Of course, this fun party game is best played as an outdoor game. Play it with both kids and adults.

The game’s goal is to run to some kind of rounding point (like a stick or a tree) and then run back. During this time, each participant carries a frying pan and has to flip the pancake three times without dropping it.

If a pancake is dropped, the flip does not count. Have some spare pancakes ready if a participant completely breaks theirs.

The game is really fun to play in teams. You, then, play the game as a relay. Once a team member has finished, they keep their pancake but pass on the frying pan to the next person in line, who must now run with and flip their pancake.

The first team to pass the finish line wins.

The game is hilarious to watch for the onlookers.

This game is popular to play in Europe. Make the game a friendly Easter activity by letting your participants paint, doodle, or decorate their eggs. Especially the kids often enjoy painting their eggs.

Prepare the game by arranging some form of a slope. An example is a tilted ironing board or similar. If you play the game outdoors, you can organize a large slope in the garden or out in some challenging terrain.

Now, let one participant put their egg at the top of the slope at a time. Then they release it and let the egg roll down and away over the floor/lawn.

When everyone has “rolled” their egg, the winner will be the one whose egg rolled the farthest away from the starting point.

Play the game one more time if the kids seemed to enjoy it.
