Easter has a way of bringing everyone together—whether you're digging through Easter baskets for candy, dyeing a rainbow of eggs, or tackling a cute spring craft. But if you really want to get the whole crew involved (and burn off some of that chocolate energy), a few good Easter games can go a long way.
Some games—like ascavenger hunt or a classic bunny sack race—are easy to pull together with things you probably already have around the house. And if DIY isn’t your thing, there are plenty of ready-to-play options out there, too. Of course, a little friendly competition never hurts. Try one (or a few!) of these Easter games—and don’t forget the prizes. The winner getting first dibs at the dessert table is a pretty good place to start.
Bunny Bowling
These bowling pins are earresistible, aren't they? Just add hand-drawn faces and paper ears to make this classic game fit for the occasion.
Get ready to get silly! With this game, players wear a pair of inflatable rabbit ears while their partners try to toss the rings onto them. It's impossible to do this activity without giggling.
Freeze Dance
A classic that never stops being fun. Play freeze dance with Easter-themed songs like "Here Comes Peter Cottontail," "The Bunny Hop," and "Hot Cross Buns." If a player doesn't freeze when the music stops, they're out. The last one standing wins!
An easy game that even the littlest of kids can play. Simply drop the discs in at the top of the board and see which slots they end up in. Whoever gets the most points wins!
Purchase a group of these easy 12-piece puzzles and let the younger kids have a blast putting them together. If you want to turn up the heat a bit, make it a competition by timing each player and seeing how long it takes them to put one together. The fastest time gets a prize.
Chickers
Checkers gets an Easter twist when you exchange the round pieces for easy, DIY chicks and bunnies. You might even want to keep this one out as a decoration when you're not playing it.
Easter Scavenger Hunt
Keep the spirit of the egg hunt going by scattering a bunch of clues around your house to lead your little bunnies to a special prize.
Hungry Bunny Toss
Switch up the age-old beanbag toss with this silly bunny version. The game is as fun to make as it is to play.
Easter Egg Bingo
Mix and match different tops and bottoms of plastic Easter Eggs, and use the resulting combos to create a Bingo board. First one to get five in a row wins!
Water Balloon "Egg" Toss
Head outside and split your family into pairs. Have each pair toss water balloon "eggs" back and forth. When someone pops an egg, their team is out — and soggy!
This surprise game is perfect for getting in the Easter spirit. Players pull carrots from the base and wait for Jack to launch from his perch. Once he jumps, players race to catch him. Ages 7+
Hula Hoop Aim Game
Set up five hula hoops on the floor and assign a point value to each (ex, the closest hoop is 10 points and the furthest hoop is 50). Give each player five plastic eggs. Have them toss the eggs into the hoops to see who can rack up the most points.
Bunny Hop Sack Race
Turning a burlap sack into hours of Easter fun has never been easier. Set up each player with a sack — decked out with a bunny tail — and have them race to the finish line.
Jelly Bean Color Match
Perfect for toddlers, this game encourages color recognition. Just make sure they don't eat the jellybeans before they finish!
Host an old-fashioned spoon race! This brings together the whole family as they dash to the finish line without dropping the wooden egg.
Easter Tag
This game is similar to regular tag, except that to avoid being tagged, players can yell out an Easter-related word to keep whoever's "it" at bay. To make the game more challenging, choose a theme. For example, themes could be "types of Easter candies" or "types of flowers." Players can only use the same word once.
Corn Hole Toss
Paint a corn hole board in your favorite Easter pastels and get tossing! A bag in the hole is worth 3 points, and a bag on the board is worth 1 point.
Pin the Tail on the Bunny
Donkey, who? This version of Pin the Tail is the hoppiest one yet.
Giant Jenga
Jumbo Jenga gets an Easter makeover thanks to cheery shades of paint. Players take turns removing blocks from the stack, trying their best not to knock it over.
When the baskets are opened, how do you trade your least favorite jelly beans for the best chocolate eggs? Try this dice game, which makes the best use of any extra candy you have lying around.
