🎉 Family Games for Easter Weekend‍ ‍

Looking for ways to keep everyone entertained after the Green Door 5K and Easter service? Here are games that require little setup and work for kids, teens, and adults.

🥚 1. Easter Egg & Spoon Relay

How to Play:
Give each participant a spoon and an egg (plastic or hard-boiled). Race to the finish line without dropping it. Great for lawns, cul-de-sacs, or parks.

🐇 2. Bunny Hop Sack Race

Use old pillowcases or sacks and hop like bunnies to the finish line. This one always gets both kids and adults laughing.

‍‍🪺 3. Easter Scavenger Hunt

Build clues and hide small treats or prizes around the yard or house. Fun for older kids and teens who enjoy a challenge.

🍬 4. DIY Dessert Decorating Station

Set out cupcakes, cookies, icing, and sprinkles.
Kids stay engaged, adults can socialize, and everyone gets dessert.

🎤 5. Backyard Karaoke or Lip Sync Contest

No Easter theme needed — this works in every season and is always a hit.

🧠 6. Family Bingo: Easter Edition

Print simple bingo cards with Easter icons.
Use jellybeans or chocolate eggs as markers.
