Fun Easter Games For Kids
These fun easter games for kids include an easter bunny skipping game, easter egg race, suspended eggs, rolling egg race and bunny egg race.
Easter Bunny "Skipping Game"
Materials needed:
- 1 Easter Basket (A lightweight, Deep basket works best)
- 1 Dozen Plastic Eggs (The fillable kind, but leave them empty)
- 1 Bunny Ears Headband (I make a white headband, and attach 2 pink "ears" made from construction paper)
- 1 Record or Tape of any Easter Bunny song (such as "Here Comes Peter Cottontail")
Method:
- All children stand in a large circle.
-
- Choose one child to be the "Easter Bunny".
- This child puts on the "ears", and gets the Easter basket which is filled with the plastic eggs.
- While the record or tape is played, the "Easter Bunny" skips around inside the circle of children, and hands out the eggs.
- As a child receives an egg from the Bunny, he/she joins the Bunny in skipping in the circle.
- The Bunny continues to pass out eggs, and is joined by the recipients, until the record is over. If the Bunny passes out all of the eggs before the song is done, the Bunny and egg holders just keep skipping to the music until it is over.
- The children love playing this simple game, and it is great for practicing the gross motor skill of skipping.
- The Bunny could also hop, if you prefer to practice that skill, but the egg recipients should skip to keep the game moving.
Variation: This same game can be played for other holidays as well. Only the record/tape and the props have to be changed to fit the new holiday theme.
Fun Easter Games For Kids 2 - EASTER EGG RACE
Color an even number of eggs, half the number one color, the other
half, another. Place all the eggs of one color on the floor in a line
at intervals of one foot. At the end of the line put a basket. Form a
similar line, a little distance from the other, of the remaining eggs.
For convenience, we will say one line is of green eggs, the other of
pink.
Choose two players as leaders, who select their sides. One side
chooses the green row, and the other, the pink. Two, one player from
each side, play at a time.
When all is ready the two leaders stand by their respective rows, each
is given a large spoon, and when told to "go," each one spoons up the
eggs, one at a time, and carries them to the basket at the end of the
line. The one who succeeds in spooning up all his eggs first wins for
his side.
Thus each player in turn works for his side until all have had a
chance and the side whose players were the most successful is the
winning side.
Fun Easter Games For Kids 3 - SUSPENDED EGGS
After an egg hunt, several eggs may be gathered together and a string
or ribbon run through each and hung in different lengths from a
chandelier. Candy eggs and little baskets of eggs may be suspended,
too. Place a tablecloth or sheet underneath to prevent the carpet from
being spoiled by the downfall.
Each child in turn is blindfolded and given a cane with which to
strike the suspended eggs. Whatever is knocked down is his. If he
fails to knock something down the first time, he may have another
turn.
Fun Easter Games For Kids 4- EGG RACE
Give each child a tablespoon and a hard-boiled egg. The children form
in line and one is the leader. Each one holds the spoon with the egg
in its bowl at arm's length and hops on one foot, following wherever
the leader leads them.
The leader may take them up stairs, over stools, and any place hard to
reach on one foot. To drop the egg or rest on both feet prevents one
from continuing in the game. She must stay out until the next time
round.
Fun Easter Games For Kids 5 - ROLLING EGGS
Mark on the table, or on the floor, if preferred, with chalk, four
parallel lines, eight or ten feet long, and four or five inches apart.
Thus there are three narrow spaces. At the end of each space make a
circle, numbering the middle one 10, and the other two, 5. The middle
space is marked 3, and the other two, 1.
The object of the game is to have each child roll five eggs, one at a
time, down the middle space to the circles at the ends. If the egg
goes into the middle circle, it counts 10, but if it stops in the
middle space, it counts only 3, and so on, counting the number of the
place where it stops.
Tally is kept for each child, the one scoring the most points wins the
game.
Fun Easter Games For Kids 6 - BUNNY'S EGG.
On a sheet draw a rough-sketch of a good-sized rabbit, the regular
Easter bunny, standing on its hind legs, and holding its paws as if it
were carrying an egg.
Stretch the sheet on the wall and tack it firmly in place. Cut eggs
out of different colored cloth to represent Easter eggs. The eggs
should be as large as the space between the rabbit's paws. In each egg
stick a pin.
Blindfold the children in turn and give each an egg, which is to be
pinned on the sheet, and right in "Bunny's" arms, if possible.
As the children take their turn, no matter how straight on the way
they were started, "Bunny" will be surrounded with eggs, until some
child pins the egg in his arms. This child deserves a prize.
