1. Egg and Spoon Race
The egg and spoon race is a classic Easter game that never gets old. It’s simple to set up and works perfectly for kids of all ages.
Each child balances a plastic egg on a spoon and races to the finish line without dropping it. If the egg falls, they must stop, pick it up, and continue the race.
You can make the game even more exciting by:
- Adding obstacles to race around
- Creating team relay races
- Using decorated eggs
This game works beautifully for backyard parties and school celebrations because it requires very little equipment.
2. Bunny Hop Sack Race
A bunny hop sack race is a hilarious way to burn off energy during an Easter party. Kids jump inside pillowcases or potato sacks and hop their way to the finish line like Easter bunnies.
To make the race more festive:
- Give children bunny ears to wear
- Play fun Easter music
- Create a bunny-themed obstacle course
This game works especially well outdoors where kids have plenty of space to hop and race.
3. Golden Egg Treasure Hunt
A golden egg treasure hunt adds a special twist to the traditional Easter egg hunt. Hide one or two golden eggs among the regular eggs and offer a special prize for whoever finds them.
Ideas for golden egg prizes include:
- Mini plush bunny toys
- Craft kits
- Small toy prizes
- Sticker packs
You can even create clues that lead kids closer to the golden egg for an added sense of adventure.
4. Pin the Tail on the Bunny
This Easter version of the classic party game “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” is perfect for younger kids.
Simply print or draw a large bunny poster and cut out fluffy tails from paper or cotton balls. Blindfold each child and let them try to stick the tail in the correct place.
The child who places the tail closest to the correct spot wins a prize.
This is a fantastic game for indoor Easter parties.
5. Easter Egg Relay Race
An Easter egg relay race is great for larger groups of children. Divide kids into teams and have them race across the yard carrying eggs in baskets.
The twist? They must pass the basket to the next teammate without dropping any eggs.
This game encourages teamwork and creates lots of laughter along the way.
6. Easter Egg Toss
This simple but exciting game works well for older kids. Two players stand opposite each other and gently toss an egg back and forth.
After each successful catch they take a step backwards. The pair who manages the longest distance without dropping the egg wins.
Tip: Use plastic eggs instead of real eggs to avoid messy clean-ups.
7. Bunny Bowling
Bunny bowling is an easy DIY Easter game that younger children especially love.
To set it up:
- Use empty bottles or cups as bowling pins
- Decorate them like bunnies
- Use a small ball to knock them down
This game works well as a rotating activity station during Easter parties.
8. Easter Egg Matching Game
This quieter activity is perfect for younger children or indoor parties.
Use plastic eggs that separate into halves and place matching colours, numbers, or pictures inside.
Kids must find the matching halves to complete the eggs.
This game doubles as an educational activity while still feeling like part of the celebration.
9. Carrot Toss Game
The carrot toss game is a simple Easter party activity that works brilliantly for younger kids and is easy to set up in just a few minutes. All you need are a few toy carrots or orange bean bags and some baskets, buckets, or cardboard targets.
Place the baskets at different distances depending on the children’s ages, then let each child take turns trying to toss their “carrots” into the targets.
You can make it more fun by:
- Using bunny-themed baskets
- Assigning different point values to each target
- Creating team competitions
- Letting kids win small Easter prizes for accurate throws
This is a great game for outdoor Easter parties because it’s low-mess, easy to reset, and works well as a drop-in activity station.
10. Find the Bunny Tail
Find the Bunny Tail is a fun Easter twist on a hidden object game and works especially well for younger children. Hide a fluffy pom-pom, cotton tail, or small bunny cut-out somewhere in the party area and challenge kids to find it.
To make it more exciting:
- Hide multiple bunny tails and give each child a chance to find one
- Use clues for older kids
- Offer a small prize when all the tails have been found
- Turn it into a timed challenge
This game is perfect for indoor Easter parties, classrooms, or quieter moments between bigger games like races and egg hunts.
