DUCK WALK RACE
Have the kid’s line up at the Start Line, squat down and grasp their ankles with each hand from behind. On GO, they waddle to a designated Finish Line. They can’t let go of their ankles or they are disqualified. The first child over the Finish Line wins a prize.

EASTER BUNNY TAG
This game is played the same way as tag except that the players must hop; if a player stops hopping for any reason, they are automatically IT.

EASTER BUNNY WORD SCRAMBLE
Give each person a pencil and paper with the words “Easter Bunny” written at the top. They must then write down as many words as they can think of that can be made using the letters contained in the words “Easter bunny.” The person who can think of the most words wins a prize. You can also have prizes for the most unusual words, the least words, the most original words, etc.

EASTER CANDY TOSS
Take a piece of red construction paper and draw three circles in the middle of the paper. Make the circles three different sizes so it resembles a bull’s eye (the size of the circles will depend on the age of the kids, the older the kids the smaller the circle). Color each circle a different color and write in different point values for each circle. Have the kids each throw a different kind of candy (maybe different colors of Easter eggs or jellybeans). Award prizes depending on which circle the child’s candy lands on. The one who lands on the bull’s eye in the middle will get an extra-special prize.

EASTER EGG BOWLING MATCH
Paint hard-boiled eggs different colors and give a different color to each kid. Leave one egg unpainted and roll that egg across the floor. The kids have to roll their eggs and the one whose egg is rolled closest to the white one wins that round. At this time, they can either win a small prize or points can be counted and then prizes awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes.

EASTER EGG HUNT FOR LITTLE ONES
Hide plastic or Styrofoam Easter eggs and let the kids find as many as they can. No matter how many they find, they all get the same prize (Easter baskets filled with assorted Easter eggs, little chocolate bunnies, jellybeans, etc.)

EASTER EGG MATCH-UP
Get a bunch of different colored plastic eggs. Separate the eggs and hide each half in a different place. The kids must match up the eggs to win prizes.

EASTER EGG MEMORY HUNT GAME
Take pairs of Easter eggs and paint only one side of each pair the same color (leave the other side unpainted). Place the Easter eggs, painted side down, and have the kids search for the eggs. When they find an egg, they must leave it behind and search for the egg’s mate before they can go back and pick up the other matching egg (that is if they can remember where that color egg was buried).
