Paper Egg Match
You will need: construction paper, one egg template for each group of 2,
markers/crayons to decorate the egg
Divide the participants in groups of 2. Have each group make a paper egg using
the egg template. Have each group decorate the egg and cut it in two in a unique
way (slanted, curvy, etc.) It helps to have some different craft scissors for
the project that will make different types of cuts. Collect all the eggs, mix
them up, and hand them out to the participants. Everyone then tries to match
his/her 1/2 egg with the appropriate other half. see our Easter
Egg Template)
Pin The Tail On the Easter
Bunny
You will need:
Easter bunny template or picture, blindfold,
sticky tac
This game is just like Pin The Tail On The Donkey. Draw and cut out an Easter
Bunny, without a tail. Draw and cut out an Easter Bunny tail. It's a great
ideas to laminate both or attach them to sturdy cardboard/poster board.
Sticky tac the Easter bunny to the wall or white board, etc. Have participants
wear a blindfold, and after three spins around, try to pin the tail on the
bunny! You can also us a "Pin The Eggs On The Basket" theme. (use our
Easter Bunny Cutout for the game!)
Easter Egg Vocabulary Word
Hunt - for classroom use
You will need: vocabulary word list, small
pieces of paper, plastic Easter eggs, candy
Write vocabulary words in scrambled form on pieces of paper. Depending on the
number of words, you may have to use some twice so all the participants get one.
Put each paper in a plastic Easter egg along with a little treat such as some
jelly beans or chocolate eggs. Hide the eggs around the classroom and have the
students find the eggs. Each student can only find one egg. When the student
finds the egg, have him/her try to unscramble the vocabulary word. After the
student unscrambles the word, he/she can eat the treat inside! (see our Easter word scramble
for some ideas)
Easter Egg Toss
You will need: a large piece of cardboard with an Easter basket
drawn on on side.
Cut several holes of various shapes in the Easter
basket, big enough for plastic Easter eggs to fit through. Fill an Easter basket
with several plastic eggs and have each participant try to get the eggs through
the holes. Or, you can use chocolate eggs of medium size. When the participant
gets and egg in the hole, he/she gets a reward! This also works with decorated
bean bags.
Easter Egg Relay
You will need: some decorated hard boiled Easter eggs and spoons for all
participants
Divide the participants into 2 teams. Have a few decorated hard boiled eggs
handy. Make 2 start lines and 2 finish lines with masking tape. Lines can
be about 10 feet apart depending on the size of the space you're using. Line
each team up behind a start line. Put an egg on the spoon of the first person in
each team. That person has to walk to the finish line and back holding the egg
on their spoon. When that person reaches the start line, he/she then transfers
his/her egg to the next person's spoon without using their hands. This is
a challenge, and if it's too hard, you can let them use hands. The first team
with all players back at the starting line wins!
Pass the Egg
You will need: a couple decorated hard boiled Easter eggs and spoons for
every player
Divide participants into 2 teams. Have each team stand in a line. Put an egg on
the spoons of the first in line of each team. Have that person pass the egg to
the next player, just using the spoon, not hands. The first team to get the egg
to the last person in line wins. And you can have the teams pass the eggs back
up to the first person for a longer game!
