Exciting Easter Extravaganza

By: Giavanna Galvez

There are many games that you can do on Easter, and lucky for you because I know some fun games to do with your younger siblings (or parents, with your kids). One game that you can do on Easter is have an Easter cupcake walk. First,  tape numbers to the floor, then have some music playing. Stop the music whenever you want and then the “players” have to step on the number closest to them. Then, a number will randomly be drawn from a hat. Whoever wins gets a cupcake or other treat. You can decorate the cupcakes as Easter bunnies, carrots, Easter eggs, and other Easter-related objects.

Another game that you can do is the “matching game”. For this game, you’ll need a big group of people. Before everybody gets to the “Easter party” you’ll need  to have half of Easter eggs hidden around the house or in the back/front yard. Then, when everybody arrives, give each person a few cut-in-half Easter eggs with different  decorations on them. Then, have them search around for their matching pairs. The first one who finds all of their egg’s matches wins.

One other game that you can play for easter is bunny tag. It’s  just like playing tag, but you don’t run. Instead, you hop like a bunny. But you need to watch out, because if you get tagged or you run instead of hop, you’re it!!

Or, if you like non of the above, you can have an egg walk. To play the egg walk, divide into teams. Then, give each team a couple of spoons and a hardboiled egg. Have them  walk to the other side of the yard and, if they drop it, their whole team loses. Everybody on the team has to walk the egg once. The team to get their hard-boiled egg across the  yard and back safely wins.

If you like none of my ideas, make up your own game. Be as creative as you want and, most important, have fun!!
