If you are planning an Easter party for children, it is important to prepare games to entertain them in addition to the typical Easter cakes like chocolate eggs and the rest. There are various themed games that you could include in your Easter party and this article has put together the funniest ones, which will guarantee the success of the party.
Steps
Step 1. Plan the Easter party and add the games as soon as you have an idea of the general structure of the party
Party games are usually one of the last things to decide after arranging the timing, catering, guests, etc. For an Easter party for children, it is a good idea to mix games and an egg hunt, food and sitting moments, and even a little rest.
If you can involve a good actor / performer willing to dress up as an Easter bunny, you can ask him to do some tricks or make-up for children to expand the activities of the party, or to take care of those who do not want to participate in the games
Step 2. Scroll through the various games shown below before choosing them
When choosing, keep the following points in mind:
- Will the game be suitable for the age of the guests?
- Will the time available be sufficient to complete the game?
- Will the game involve all participants equally?
- Does the game respect the general theme of the party?
Method 1 of 8: Egg Counting
It is a very entertaining number game.
Step 1. Assemble the necessary objects
All you need is a glass jar or basket, a bunch of chocolate or hard-boiled eggs of various sizes, pieces of paper, a pencil and an Easter basket.
Step 2. Each participant should have a piece of paper and a pencil
Step 3. Ask each to write their name and their guess about the number of eggs in the basket (or jar)
Step 4. Proclaim the winner
Whoever comes closest or guesses the exact number wins the whole basket!
Method 2 of 8: Guess who I am?
This game is really fun and your guests will have a lot of fun guessing for a good part of the party. It is a game more suitable for slightly older children, around 7 years and over.
Step 1. Get what you need
You will need some cute little pelouches. If possible, make sure they are related to Easter, e.g. rabbits and chicks, etc.
Step 2. When each guest arrives, attach a soft toy to his back without seeing the animal
Make sure you are using safety pins and that it is securely attached. Make the baby stand still at this stage!
Step 3. During the party, guests must ask each other questions about the identity of their pet
They must be questions whose answer is yes or no.
For example, they may ask "Do I eat carrots?", "Do I say QUACK?", Etc
Step 4. At the end of the party, ask each child what they think they are
Whoever guesses wins a prize, perhaps the plush toy on his back. Allow the kids to keep asking questions until they guess right (you may need to finish the game early for guessers who don't want to have a puppet attached to their back).
Method 3 of 8: The game of chairs
This game takes space, and can get a little hectic but it's a blast! (Have some patches handy, maybe!)
Step 1. Arrange the chairs in a circle
There must be a chair for each guest, minus one. Have all but one of the children sit down. When everyone is seated, the game can begin!
Step 2. Start by saying something like "I am grateful for those with brown eyes"
Everyone then gets up and runs to change places. The chairs next door are not worth it. Once everyone is seated, the person who is left without a chair continues with another comment such as "I am grateful for those who have a dog". If you want to connect it to Easter, tell the children to say something they are grateful for about Easter, such as “I am grateful for the Easter eggs”, or “I am grateful for being home from school”, etc.
Step 3. Continue until the game has bored you
It goes on until you get tired, but watch out - it is addictive, so it may last a while!
It can also increase competitiveness: while everyone is running to a chair, take one off. Whoever remains without a chair is eliminated, and the last one wins a prize. It could be risky, because surely someone will run to the chair you are about to remove
Method 4 of 8: Egg Hunt
An Easter party isn't complete without an egg hunt. Your guests will appreciate the thrill of hunting and the satisfaction of finding eggs in a classic egg hunt.
Step 1. Place candy, chocolate eggs, and other candy in plastic eggs
Outdoors, if the garden or courtyard is not wet, humid, muddy or snowy, you can avoid plastic and place the sweets as they are, in their packaging
Step 2. Hide sweets or eggs in the yard, garden or house
Make sure you know how many you are hiding, and make sure you have enough for each guest.
Step 3. Send your guests on a hunt
Set a limit on the number of sweets each one can collect, so that no one is left out. When you are sure that all the eggs or sweets have been collected, allow the kids to play with prizes or eat them!
Method 5 of 8: Egg and spoon run
If you are lucky enough to have a courtyard and good weather, why not bring the party outside?
Step 1. Get what you need
You will need an egg (raw or hard, but hard is better) and a spoon for each participant. You may even want to use painted eggs as a special touch for Easter.
Step 2. Line up the competitors side by side on the starting line
It is better to organize the run on grass or other soft surfaces, to give the fallen eggs a chance!
Step 3. Make the goal visible and noticeable
It is not fun to release the egg thinking that you have won, only to discover that there are still several centimeters to the finish.
Step 4. Start the run
Everyone then starts running towards the finish line. Competitors must keep the egg balanced on the spoon, without helping each other with the other hand. If the egg falls without breaking, the competitor can pick it up and resume the race.
Step 5. Proclaim the winner
The first to cross the finish line wins. It also rewards the second and third classified.
Method 6 of 8: The rabbit's egg
This is a variant of the game "Attach the tail to the donkey", in which an egg is attached to the Easter bunny.
Step 1. Draw the outline of an Easter bunny
On a rag or paper, draw a rough drawing of a fairly large rabbit, taking a cue from the classic Easter bunny. Draw him standing on his hind legs, and with his paws outstretched as if he were holding an egg.
Step 2. Spread the rag or paper on the wall and stick it well
Step 3. Cut out some Easter eggs from another colored sheet
The eggs should be as large as the space between the rabbit's legs. Put a pin in each egg.
Step 4. Blindfold the players in turn and give one egg each
Each egg must be attached to the rabbit, precisely between its paws, if possible. As players take turns, no matter how accurately, the rabbit will be surrounded by eggs, until one player hits the right spot. Whoever comes closest to the paws, or finds the precise point, wins a prize.
Method 7 of 8: Decorate a hard-boiled egg or Easter cookie
Set up a decorative post somewhere away from the liveliest games. This allows children to sit at any time and decorate an Easter egg or cookie. It is an excellent activity and allows you to rest between one game and another.
Step 1. Make half a dozen hard-boiled eggs and / or plain cookies in Easter shapes like eggs, chicks, and bunnies
Step 2. Set up a decorative zone
Place egg paints in jars and other decorative items. For the cookies, make various colored icings (in tubes) and lots of edible decorations like sprinkles, mompariglia (rivers), candies, colored sugar and other sweet items to decorate.
Set up a corner to wash your hands
Step 3. Allow the children to eat or take home their own decorated eggs and cookies
Method 8 of 8: Egg hunt with the golden ticket
Step 1. Buy some gold paper and large enough chocolate eggs
You will also need a bunch of plastic eggs and candy to fill them.
Step 2. Prepare at least 3 or 4 gold cards
Or, as many as there are prizes.
Step 3. Fill the plastic eggs with sweets
Put the chocolates or candies in the plastic eggs, and in a few eggs slip a golden card.
Step 4. Go out and hide the many candy-filled eggs in the yard or house
Step 5. Organize an egg hunt with the golden ticket
Explain to all participants that whoever finds the golden ticket wins the chocolate bunny (or rabbits, depending on the number of prizes).
Confirm the winner by showing him the ticket
Step 6. Allow everyone to keep the eggs they find
In this way, everyone is rewarded for their efforts.
Advice
- For the rabbit egg game, you could use Velcro if you have a suitable fabric.
- When sending the invitations, suggest that the children wear themed costumes to increase the fun.
- Get consolation prizes for everyone, for each game. It's not nice to be the only one who hasn't won, while everyone around you is eating sweets!
- You could also sculpt an Easter bunny and give the children carrots to feed the rabbit with. Give them 3 or 4 carrots and see if they can fit them all in the "rabbit's mouth".
- Bunny ears headbands are great rewards; the more you give, the better.
Warnings
- Babies and sugar are an explosive cocktail. Ask parents to help you control the intake of sweets or ask the children to "take it easy". Also provide plenty of healthy snacks, such as carrot sticks, celery chunks, sauces, etc.
- Invited children may be allergic to eggs and dairy products. Be sure to ask the parents for the allergy list to avoid emergencies.
