 Bunny Hop

What you will need:

How To Play: Children divide into two teams. Give each team a pillow. Pillow size should be larger for younger children and smaller for older children. Have one child from each team place the egg between their legs and hop to the end of the room and back. They sit down and the next team member goes. This repeats until one team is all sitting.

Wacky Egg Roll

  • A plastic eggs (plastic or hardboiled)
  • Plastic spoons for each child
  • Tape

The kids have to get down on all fours and use a spoon to push the egg across the finish line. The first team to finish wins. Make sure the area is clean. 

Pass the Egg, Please!

What you will need:

  • A plastic egg

Directions: Have all the children sit in a circle and pass an egg with only their feet. When you drop it your out, last one left wins!  

Easter Egg Relay

What you will need:

  • 2 large construction paper eggs per team

Directions: Divide children into teams. The first person of a team takes the 2 eggs and lays one of the eggs out on the floor. The child steps on the first egg and then places the second egg in front of them. The child steps on the second egg, reaches back and picks up the first egg and then places that egg in front of them. Continue to the end of the course and then run back and tag the next team member. Variation: Divide the teams in half and have the person walk on eggs to the other side

Duck Races

What you will need:

  • A start and finish line

Directions: Divide kids into two teams. Children should line up at the start line. The first kids from each team put their hands around their ankles. While staying in this position, they waddle across the finish line, like a duck. If they lose their grip, walk or run, they are out. Once they pass the finish line, the next person can go. The team with all their members successfully crossing the finish line first wins.

Jumbo Easter Memory

What you will need:

  • 10 pairs of Easter pictures (print Easter coloring pages off web onto heavy paper)

Directions: Print out 10 pairs of Easter pictures (or draw the pictures). Lay them on the floor, mixed up, and have the kids take turns trying to find pairs, by turning two over at a time. Who ever has the most pairs wins! Use heavy paper like cardstock so the cards are sturdy (laminate them if you want to use them year after year). Print two of each picture and make sure you color them the same

Carrot Toss

What you will need:

  • 2 bunches of real Carrots with stems
  • 2 Hula hoops or 2 small lengths of rope made into circles
  • Tape

Directions: Divide the kids into two teams. Lay the 2 hula hoops or rope circles at the end of the room or yard. Mark a starting point with tape 6 feet away for each team. Have the first two people for each team toss their carrot trying to get in the middle of the hoop. If they miss, they sit out and the next team member has to take two steps back further before they throw. Continue until everyone has had a turn or one team is totally out. Play it several times having the kids start further away. Change it up and have the kids throw the carrot facing backwards or between their legs. The silly the more fun!

Capture the Egg

  • Four blue eggs for one team (can be plastic eggs and any color – need 4 of the same color)
  • Four green eggs for the other team (can be plastic eggs and any color – need 4 of the same color)

Directions: Divide children into two groups. Each team has four Easter Eggs. Place the Eggs on the ground in a row. The object is to run to the other team’s side and try to take three of their eggs back to their own side without getting touched. If they get touched, they must stand still until one of their teammates touches them

Bunny Nose Relay

What you will need:

  • Cotton balls
  • Vaseline
  • 2 bowls for each team

Directions: Divide kids into 2 teams. Each team has a bowl of cotton balls and an empty bowl. The first person in each team places a dab of Vaseline on the tip of their noses and have to move cotton balls from one bowl to another using just their Vaseline tipped noses in an allotted amount of time. When time is up next person goes and so on. The team that moves all their cotton balls into the other bowl first, wins. 

Tag Team Alien Easter Rabbit Drawing

What you will need:

  • Paper
  • Markers

Directions: Each player has her own color marker and a piece of paper. At “Go,” players have 30 seconds to begin a drawing of an Alien Easter Rabbit. The leader is the official timer. When the time is up, everyone moves clockwise to the next paper, gives it a quarter turn, and has 30 seconds to continue the drawing. Play continues in this manner, with the paper being given a quarter turn by each new artist, until everyone has added to each drawing

We love playing this simple Candy Game at our Sweet Sugar Skull Parties. Grab two items only to play the Lifesaver Swing Toss Game.
Candy party games, candy olympics, candy games party ideas, candy party game ideas
 
You will need: 
one piece of string (about 1 metre long) per two players
one Life Saver candy (the gummy ones work best) per pair
 
How to Play
Break up players into groups of two. Tie a Life Saver on the end of a string 1 metre long. The other end of the string goes in the mouth of one player, who swings their head around attempting to get the Life Saver in the mouth of their teammate (they are kneeling on the ground, with their head tilted back and hands behind their back). The player attempting to get the Life Saver in their mouth cannot use their hands. Once in their mouth, the player bites off the Life Saver from the string. The team that does this first wins.
 
Enjoy!
Testimonial
I'm writing to let you know how impressed we were with Austin today. Such a class act! He was really enthusiastic and did a wonderful job of keeping the boys entertained with all sorts of soccer games. Thanks to Austin and your team at Encore Kids Parties for making my son's 6th birthday party so successful and memorable. T. Nov 2023
