Instead
of schlepping kids to a commercial Easter Egg Hunt, plan a small neighborhood
party. These games and activities will keep your party hopping!
Easter Egg Hunt
Tips
- Tuck a
small piece of paper with party details into hollow plastic eggs. Let kids
hand-deliver them.
- Sprinkle
baby powder “paw prints” around the house. Invite kids to follow the Easter
Bunny to where the hunt begins.
- Before
guests arrive, hide eggs in both easy and difficult places to keep kids
challenged.
- Check
your weather forecast if you plan an outdoor hunt.
- Award
special prizes for eggs rolled in glitter or marked by special stickers.
-
Assign
each child a color of egg to find, or limit the number of eggs each child can
keep so no child gets left out.
- Have
colorful beach pails on hand for collecting eggs.
Party Games
·
Engage
kids with all kinds of games: assemble kids into teams for an egg relay race.
Eggs are carried on spoons or forks (more difficult) and first team to finish
is the winner. Or have players on hands and knees, using only their noses to
nudge eggs past the finish line.
·
Use old
pillowcases for an old-fashioned "bunny hop" sack race.
·
Forget
pinning the tail on the donkey! Tack up a drawing of Peter Rabbit. Pass out
cotton balls with double-stick tape for tails.
