Easter Party Fun & Games - My Ideas

Egg Hunt Kit

I've been doing a bit of digging around at some ideas for games and activities for Easter party time as I will be holding one for my family and friends (yes the adults will be joining in too)! No there are some obvious choices of course, but there's also some other ideas that you may not have thought of - so take a look below! :-)

Easter Egg Hunt

Yes, of course the most obvious choice! I'm actually holding two egg hunts myself - one for the kids' and one for us adults! I've bought some plastic eggs for both and the kids' will be filled with prizes and goodies like sweets, stickers and toys. The adults are going to be filled with minature spirits, novelty gifts and chocolates. Both of versions I've decided to have a winner egg - which will have a gold note inside advising they've won the special prize! So maybe from my reasearch and what I am going to be doing - you'll pick up a few ideas!

Egg & Spoon Race, Three Legged Race and Sack Race

Classic sports day events, but perfect at Easter time! You can buy various kit's online - billed as "sports day" kits, or simply use your own resourses! For the egg and spoon race you can hard boil eggs and use large spoons from your kitchen draw. The 3 legged race, simply tie together the middle legs with some thick rope. The sack race use some old hessian sacks, which you may be able to pick up from a local supermarket or shop who are throwing them out.

Egg Decorating

Although chocolate eggs are generally given, it's also great fun to decorate real eggs! To do this you will need to empty the egg contents from the shell. Do this by piercing two holes with a needle, one in the top and one in the bottom of the eg. One hole must be bigger than the other. Wiggle the needle aroung to break the yolk and then blow through the small hole with the egg over a bowl to empty the contents. Once this is done you need to wash the egg, let it dry and then you're ready to get decorating! You can use gems, glitter, paints and other decorative craft goods to create some beautiful Easter decorated eggs!
