Easter Traditions: Classic Games and Activities for the Family

Easter is a time for family, fun, and making memories. While chocolate eggs are a big part of the celebration, traditional Easter games bring everyone together for laughter and quality time. This year, why not embrace classic, screen-free activities that have been enjoyed for generations? Let’s explore some timeless Easter traditions that are perfect for families.

1. Egg and Spoon Race

A true Easter classic! This simple but exciting game is all about balance and coordination. Give each player a spoon and a hard-boiled egg (to avoid mess!), and race to the finish line without dropping it. For an extra challenge, make players walk backwards or weave through obstacles.

 

2. Easter Egg Hunt

No Easter celebration is complete without an egg hunt! Hide chocolate eggs, wooden eggs, or small toys around the garden and let the kids search for them. To add an educational twist, use colour-coded eggs with different challenges or riddles inside.

 

3. Bunny Hop Sack Race

Turn the traditional sack race into an Easter-themed adventure! Players hop like bunnies to the finish line, making it a hilarious activity for all ages. Old pillow cases or burlap sacks work perfectly for this game.

 

4. Pin the Tail on the Bunny

A fun Easter spin on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” Blindfolded players take turns trying to place a fluffy cotton tail on a picture of a bunny. This game is great for indoor play if the weather isn’t cooperating.

 

5. Egg Rolling Competition

This traditional Easter tradition is popular in many cultures. Each player rolls an egg down a grassy slope and the one that goes the farthest without breaking wins! It’s a simple yet exciting activity that brings out the competitive spirit.

6. DIY Easter Crafts

Encourage creativity with hands-on Easter crafts. Decorating eggs with natural dyes, making bunny masks, or creating Easter baskets are fun projects that double as festive decorations.

 

7. Hot Cross Bun Treasure Hunt

Hot cross buns are an Easter favourite. Hide small treats or coins inside a batch of buns (mark the ones with surprises! ), then serve them fresh for morning tea. This brings a delightful surprise element to a classic Easter treat.

 

8. Easter Storytime

Gather the family for a cosy Easter-themed story session. Choose books that celebrate nature, renewal, and kindness. This is a wonderful way to wind down after a day of excitement.
