Easter Activities and Games

With Easter only 12 days away, we thought it would be a good idea to offer up some fun Easter activities for the family. Enjoy!

Make a homemade basket for the Easter egg hunt. You can find a really cute bunny basket at FamilyFun.com or for group projects you might want to take a look at the cute bunny basket from S&S Worldwide.

Try some fun and wacky egg science experiments.

Spend the day making Easter bread with the kids.

Play an egg relay race game where family members divide into teams and race carrying an egg on a spoon. Another game to try is an egg toss game. Similar to a water balloon game, family members pair up in teams of two and slowly and gently toss an egg back and forth making sure to take a step backwards after every toss. Once a team drops their egg, they are out of the game. For something completely new, try the Dancing Eggs Game from Hearthsong. You would be amazed to find all the places and ways to carry an egg!

For big family Easter dinners, try making family trading cards. They make for hilarious dinnertime conversation!

Letter to the Future

Take advantage of your family get together at Easter this year to create a family time capsule. Ask all of your family members to bring an item that represents them (i.e. a picture, favorite recipe, book, drawing, etc) to the Easter or Passover dinner. Place all of the collected items along with a Letter to the Future in your time capsule and store it away until some agreed upon future family get together.
