Kids' Easter Games

When Easter comes there are loads of kids' Easter games that you can use at school, at home or at Easter parties and celebrations. There are games that are loud and active and quieter games that are ideal for indoors. If you are looking for something a bit a different you may like to try one of these kids' Easter games.

Easter Bowling

This is one of those kids' Easter games that can be played with a small group of children but it is also suitable for a large group.

For this game you can use hard boiled eggs that have been painted or dyed in different colors or you can use chocolate Easter eggs with different colored wrappers. Give a different colored egg to each child. Now take a plain hard boiled egg and roll that egg across the floor or the grass.

The children each have a turn at rolling their egg so that it stops as close as possible to the plain egg. The one whose egg is closest to the white one wins that round. At this time the child can either win a small prize or points can be counted and then prizes awarded after several rounds.

Egg Throwing

An egg throwing competition is one of the messy kids' Easter games that will need to be played outside. The kids compete in pairs and each pair will need an egg. Use fresh eggs not hard boiled eggs to make it more interesting.

Each pair stands a short distance apart. You may like to draw two parallel lines on the ground so that one person from each pair stands on one line and the other person stand facing them on the other line.

The pairs have to throw and catch the egg between them. Any pair that drops an egg is immediately eliminated. After each successful throw and catch, the partners then move one step further apart and repeat. The winners are the last pair left in the competition.

Easter Bingo

Easter Bingo is one of the quieter Kids' Easter games that can be played indoors. Children can make their own bingo cards before they play the game or an adult can prepare this.

The bingo cards can be made with Easter words or Easter pictures. If you are using pictures these can be draw, printed on the computer or stickers can be used.

Each player will need a card with a 3 X 3 grid filled in with Easter words or Easter pictures. The caller calls out the words or the names of the pictures and the players cover their words or pictures when they are called. The first winner can be the first person to cover three in a row, vertically, horizontally or diagonally. The second winner will be the person who covers all nine words or pictures first
