Fun Outdoor Easter Games

Are you looking to have a little backyard fun on Easter? There are several engaging Easter games for kids and adults to play together. This goes beyond just the typical Easter egg hunts to some truly amusing Easter fun!

Egg and Spoon Races

Nothing beats a good competition, especially one where adults can join in the festivities. A classic egg and spoon race is the perfect way to get everyone involved. For this game, you need hard-boiled eggs and spoons for all participants.

1. Have all the members pair up.

2. The teammates should stand 20 feet from each other.

3. Each leader should get a spoon with a hard-boiled egg.

4. When the cue to begin racing is given, the person with the egg should run with it to the person on their team standing across from them.

5. If they drop the egg, they need to start over.

6. Once a teammate reaches the other side, they must hand the egg over to the next person, who races back to the other side.

7. The first team to have everyone complete the egg run wins.

Bunny Bowling

Yard bowling is always a hit. Make this game completely bunny-related by decorating the bowling pins. You need bowling pins, a plastic ball, construction paper, tape, and markers.

1. Add ears and faces to the bowling pins to make them look like little bunnies by using markers and construction paper.

2. Color the ball to look like an Easter egg.

3. Break up the group into a few teams.

4. Set up the pins and walk 10 feet from the pins.

5. Each team takes turns knocking down the pins.

6. The team with the most pins down after ten rolls wins.

You can also make the game shorter or longer as you play.

Bunny Ring Toss

Playing bunny ring toss is another enjoyable Easter game. To play, you need plastic bowling pins, markers, rings, sticky notes, and a basket. You can make this even more fun by adding candy.

1. Decorate the bowling pins to look like fun bunnies by drawing on ears and faces.

2. Add sticky notes to the pins, naming a specific type of candy (candy eggs, peanut butter cups, jelly beans, etc.)

3. Put the pins in a basket.

4. Position the basket of rings about ten or so feet away from the players.

5. Give everyone a few rings.

6. Have them toss their rings onto the bowling pins to win candy.

Egg Toss

Egg toss games can be as messy as the Easter party warrants. Eggs used can be hard-boiled (less mess) or not (very messy!).

1. Pair up people and have them stand about a foot away from each other.

2. They will then toss the egg to one another.

3. With every successful toss of the egg, the pair must take a step backward and further away from each other before tossing it again.

4. If the egg is dropped or breaks, the pair is out.

5. The last pair left is the winner.

Keep plenty of towels on hand for quick clean-up if eggs are not hard-boiled! Another quick clean-up option is to hand out oversized T-shirts or aprons for kids to slip on over their clothing.

Bunny Tag

Tag is an excellent game for wide-open yards. Children can be paired up or placed in teams.

1. Declare someone the "Head Easter Bunny."

2. Tell them the person they tag will become a "Basket Bunny" who needs to recruit other bunnies to help distribute baskets.

This game provides a great transition into hunting for Easter baskets once all the children have been tagged.

Bunny Hop Race

Turn a typical potato sack race into bunny-themed Easter thrills for kids and grownups. This game doesn't require any materials, (except for bandanas or thick ribbon to tie legs together if you're not using shoelaces), and participants must be prepared to hop to having a good time!

1. Create pairs (children pairs, adult pairs, or children and adult pairs).

2. Tie their shoelaces on one foot together. You can also use string if they don't have shoelaces.

3. Place everyone in a single line at that start.

4. Have each pair hop together to the end of the race.

5. The first pair to make it to the end wins.

Easter Egg Relay Race

The Easter egg relay is a clever mix between an egg hunt and a relay race. You need two colors of eggs hidden around the yard. These eggs should be filled with candy and trinkets. They can also be filled with fun commands like "do ten jumping jacks before returning."

1. Split the players into two teams.

2. They need to line up from youngest to oldest in a single file line.

3. On "Go," the first one runs out and finds an egg in their team's color.

4. Once they find an egg, they open it and complete the command.

5. They then run back and tag the next person.

6. Game play continues until all eggs have been found and all commands have been completed. The team who finishes first wins.

Bunny Bean Bag Toss

This game is like cornhole, but with a bunny-related twist. Grab markers, a cardboard box, a basket, and candy-filled plastic eggs for play.

1. Cut a hole in the box for the bunny's mouth.

2. Decorate the box to make it look like a bunny.

3. Give each player or team a basket with colored eggs.

4. Each player or team takes turns tossing their eggs into the bunny's mouth.

5. The team to get the most eggs in the bunny's mouth wins.

Candy Toss

One of the best parts of Easter is the candy. Make everyone work for their goodies by creating a candy toss. Play requires a bowl, various sweets, a timer, and several baskets.

1. Have each player choose a basket.

2. They need to place the basket a difficult distance away in front of them. This distance will vary for adults and children.

3. Someone calls "Go."

4. For 60 seconds, players try to throw as much candy as possible into their basket.

5. Pick up fallen candy and repeat until all the candy has made it into baskets.

Follow the Bunny

This game doesn't require anything to play and it is super simple. It's an Easter variation of Simon Says.

1. Line up everyone playing in a straight line.

2. The leader says, "Bunny says," and gives a command.

3. Everyone who follows the bunny gets to take a step forward.

4. Keep giving out commands. If anyone does the command without the leader saying, "Bunny says," they must take a step back.

5. The first person to make it to the bunny leader gets to be the next leader.
