Easter time is here so you may be starting to think about what to do with all the good eggs you'll be hosting this year (aka the kiddos). Of course, classic activities like egg hunts and gathering in the kitchen to dye easter eggs are always an option, but there are plenty of other fun ways to keep your little ones busy this season.
We've rounded up 15 games that will get your kids egg-cited and that are honestly, just a hopping good time. From charades and tic-tac-toe to potato sack races and egg relays, there's something here for everyone. Ready, set, go!
1. Easter Charades
Who doesn't love a game of charades? Teacher Miranda Nagy created her own spring and Easter-themed versions with prompts like: "finding an Easter egg," "flying a kite," "picking flowers," "skipping rope" and more. Make your own version using index cards and add additional Easter-related cues like "dying eggs," "going through your Easter basket" and "eating a chocolate bunny." For any younger kiddos who aren't reading, you can explain the prompts or just show pictures.
2. Pin The Tail On The Bunny
Let's face it, pinning a bushy tail on a bunny is way cuter than pinning a tail on a donkey anyway. Download this cute version on Etsy, or draw your own using a piece of poster board paper. Babes can pin tail-shaped paper cutouts onto the big drawing to see who gets closest.
3. Easter Bingo
A simplified version of bingo with numbers on drawings of decorated eggs is made for younger kids, so instead of B-I-N-G-O, parents will read off numbers and kiddos can mark off the ones called with a plastic easter egg. You can download this exact version by Ready Set Kinder here or create your own.
4. Bunny Bowling
This game works great for toddlers but can become just as competitive with older kids and adults if that's your crowd. Simply set up these bunny pins and roll the plastic balls to knock 'em all down. The set includes 10 pins and two 4" balls.
5. Easter Egg Match Game
All it takes is a few plastic eggs and some colored construction paper to build this fun matching game for kids of all ages. Your little ones will look at colorful paper egg combos and then recreate them with their own set of plastic eggs to create funky two-toned eggs. To make it harder, add a third element for them to match — jelly beans!
6. Easter Sack Race
Hop to it! Potato sack races are fun for all ages, so it makes sense that this game is just as enjoyable (and somehow, more adorable) with an Easter spin. This set comes with four pastel colored sacks and matching rabbit ears so your little bunnies can really get into the spirit.
7. Egg Rescue
This search-and-rescue mission was created by a mom of four boys, and it's the perfect alternative to a traditional egg hunt if you don't have the space (or the time) to scatter eggs everywhere. She used a tub and painter's tape to "block" the eggs, then provided tongs and a spoon so her kids could carefully fish them out without breaking the tape. Brilliant!
8. Bunny Ring Toss
Put on some bunny ears and get ready to play! This fun ring toss set is under $6 and provides hours worth of fun for tots. Instead of the typical rings and wood stakes, kids can put on inflatable bunny ears while their friends toss inflatable rings at their ears. Split your kiddos into teams and the team who hooks the most rings, wins!
9. Roll An Egg
Created by a primary school teacher, this game is sure to keep your kids entertained for a while. Each egg has different designs for them to color, so kids will roll the dice and color one part of the egg in the corresponding color (pink is 1, yellow is 2 etc.). First person to color in all 3 eggs wins — and has a pretty picture to take home with them.
10. Tic Tac Toe
This classic game gets an Easter makeover thanks to pink, blue and yellow bunny squares. You can use marshmallow rabbits, chocolate eggs or peeps as the markers — and the first to three in a row wins! You can download and print this version here.
11. Egg Color Match
All of the bright colors associated with Easter make it the best holiday for matching games. This one is great because it is a fun game, but also a sensory play activity. Creator, Emily, filled a dish with Easter-colored beans, then scattered mini rainbow eggs among them. Kids match the egg to the same colored cup to win.
12. Carrot Collecting Board Game
Board games are always a good idea! This one is made by Educational Insights and is designed to help kids ages 3 and older learn their shapes. Kids will spin the wheel to load up their Easter baskets with teeny tiny carrots. Mom and occupational therapy assistant, Cait, added some dried peas into the mix to make foraging for carrots a little more fun.
13. Egg and Spoon Race
The traditional way is fun, but raw eggs and metal spoons aren't going to be a big hit with toddlers or their parents, so this kid-friendly wooden version is your best bet. Kids see how fast they can walk balancing an egg on their spoon without dropping it. The great thing about these eggs is that they can pick them right back up and play again (not to mention, there's less mess!).
14. Bunny Pom Pom Toss
To quote this game's maker, "cardboard for the win!" Alana made this little bunny toss by cutting holes in a cardboard box and painting on a sweet bunny design. Instead of using bean bags like a regular toss, she scaled down and used pom poms, which are great for even younger children (lightweight) and have a whimsical Easter vibe to them. Too cute!
15. Nature Egg Hunt
This hunt may not involve eggs, but it's still a fun way to get outside and look around. Draw 6 to 9 egg shapes on a piece of cardboard, then have kids fill them up with things they find in the yard — flowers, grass, pebbles and sticks. You can glue the items down when they're done to make a pretty collage (and spring-themed decoration).
