Top 10 Easter Party Games for a Fun Gathering

If you’re looking for Easter party games to keep everyone entertained, we have just the right ones for you! Easter games offer an opportunity for kids and adults to spend quality time on this special day. We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 Easter party games to make the day entertaining for everyone involved. So, without further ado, let’s read on.

1. Stepping Stone Game

Stepping Stone is one of the most popular games among children. Besides being incredibly safe, it’s also fun and keeps the kids moving with lots of laughs and healthy competition. All you will need is a Stepping Stone balance kit. Start by arranging the Stepping Stones in a pattern across the floor. Players are then required to move or hop from one Stone to the other without touching the floor (pretending the floor is lava or water). You can also set different rules for the game to make it more challenging. For instance, players can race to the finishing floor or can only move in a certain movement, such as hopping or jumping. Stepping Stones is an ideal game to teach children how to balance and improve their coordination. Make the game more fun and get differently coloured Stepping Stones to pique their interest.

2. Glow-in-the-dark Easter Egg Hunt

Easter egg hunts are a timeless tradition that kids look forward to every Easter. However, you can give your egg hunting a unique touch and get your kids even more thrilled about their favourite activity by introducing a glow-in-the-dark Easter egg hunt. Fill your glow-in-the-dark eggs with their favourite treats, and leave the eggs in a dark spot so they can glow from afar. An easy way to execute this is to use mini LED balloon party lights to get plastic eggs to glow. Get even more creative and decorate the eggs using pipe cleaners and googly eyes to make them look like lightning bugs. And lastly, if you want to see the kids give you their best toothy grins, provide them with some glow-in-the-dark sticks and bracelets to make their day perfect for a lights-out hunt!

3. Egg and Spoon Race

Everyone loves healthy competition, and there’s no better way to unleash a person’s competitive side than putting them in a race. Get some spoons and boiled/plastic eggs, and mark a starting/finish line. Start by lining everyone up at the finish line. Hand them their spoons and place the eggs on the spoons, and then it’s just counting down from 3 to start the race. Whoever balances the egg on the spoon without dropping it until reaching the finish line wins the race.

4. Pin the Tail on the Bunny

“Pin the tail on the donkey” is long gone! Bring a creative twist to the game and do a “Pin the tail on the Bunny” instead this Easter. Buy or simply DIY a large poster of a bunny missing its tail. Blindfold each player and gently manoeuvre them to give the bunny its tail back using glue or tape. One of the most hilarious Easter games that can be enjoyed by adults and kids.

5. Golden Egg “Hot Potato”

Bring some fun and laughter to your day by giving a little twist to the traditional game of hot potato. Grab a golden (or any other coloured) egg, for that matter, and choose one person to kickstart the game. Whoever begins to pass around the coloured egg chooses a short song to sing/rhyme to sing while the egg continues to get passed around. Once the song ends, whoever was last holding the egg has to do a silly dance. If your kids get too competitive and you need a game where no one loses or is “out,” Golden Egg is the perfect game to play!

6. Easter Bingo

Bingo is a game that can easily be customised for any themed event. DIY bingo cards with Easter symbols such as eggs, carrots, bunnies, and chicks. You can also print out a blank Bingo card, all 24 Bingo pieces, and the calling cards. Print out the cards on cardstock along with the Bingo pieces. Cut the Bingo pieces and glue the pieces wherever you want on the cards. This can also be an engaging activity for kids to do on their own or something you can do for them.

Distribute the cards to players and call out the items one by one. The first person to complete a row, column, or diagonal wins.

7. Egg Decorating Contest

Unleash everyone’s creativity with a side of artistry and get them to decorate Easter eggs. Provide the participants with hard-boiled eggs, paints, markers, and some additional items like glitter, sprinkles, and stickers. And let everyone create eggs with whimsical and quirky designs. You can also set aside different categories for winners, such as “Funniest Egg” or the “Most Creative Design.” Set out as many categories as you want and give out prizes to the winner.

8. Bunny Hop Race

An activity that’s fun for all age groups is the bunny hop race. All you need are some potato sacks and a marked finish line to unwrap one of the most hilarious Easter games. Whoever hops like a bunny to the finish line without dropping wins the game. The game can also be played in teams or added with extra hurdles, such as items on the group players are required to jump over for a challenge.

9. Foam Building Blocks

A fun and creative activity to encourage teamwork and problem-solving skills—foam building blocks keep children engaged and busy. Use foam blocks of distinct shapes and sizes and let children build castles, bridges, and towers. This is an ideal game for children to enhance their motor skills, and it allows them to learn to balance safely.

10. Peeps War

Peeps—a treat that’s delicious to eat and enjoyable to play around with. Provide two players with a pack of Peep marshmallows and line them on opposite sides of the table. Using Easter plastic eggs, players must knock out their opponent’s marshmallows.
