There are so many exciting ways to celebrate Easter. But even after you've opened the Easter baskets, eaten a delicious Easter brunch, and hosted a fun Easter egg hunt, you might still have a few hours left of the holiday to enjoy. So, what are some other Easter activities to help keep your springtime celebration going? Sure, you can always sit down and enjoy a few Easter movies, but you can also get outside and enjoy the newfound warmer weather with a little festive fun and friendly competition.
That's when it's time to whip out one of these Easter games for kids that the whole family will love, too! After all, there are so many delightful, giggle-inducing options on this list that you shouldn't be surprised if you're tempted to join in. You can try DIY games with nothing more than an egg carton, a few bean bags, or some pom-poms from the craft store. And who says the fun has to begin on the morning of Easter, anyway?
One fun idea involves creating an Easter advent calendar with confetti-filled Easter eggs, allowing your kids to count down to the holiday and get excited long before Sunday. There are also several games like corn hole toss that double as fabulous Easter gifts for kids. Or games that put a fun twist on your usual egg hunt! Get ready to turn one of these silly, family-friendly DIY Easter games into a brand-new Easter tradition you can return to year after year.
Poke An Egg
Everyone's a winner while playing this neat Easter game! After you follow the steps to create the most festive game board, fill each cup with goodies like Easter toys and candy. The kids will use their fingers to poke an egg and win a prize!

Easter Movement Game
Take a cue from the Easter bunny himself and hop to it with this fun movement activity. Just print out the colorful bunny templates (provided by the blogger), then place them in a circle. Turn on some music and let the little ones jump around. When the music stops, pick a matching calling card—whoever is standing on the bunny shown on the card wins a prize!

Egg Tower
The concept of this one is so simple... and just as fun! Your little chickadees will use plastic eggs and toilet paper rolls to see who can build the tallest tower. You can up the challenge by substituting whole toilet paper tubes for the half tubes and real boiled eggs for plastic eggs.

Egg Dominoes
Fans of dominoes, this one is for you! Take the old-fashioned game and give it a festively fun twist by crafting egg-shaped dominoes out of construction paper.
First, cut out large egg shapes in various colors and draw a line halfway across each with a marker. Then, using a regular dominoes set for reference, fill in the eggs with the appropriate number of dots for each piece. Now you're ready to play Easter Egg dominoes!
Easter Lollipop Hunt
While regular ol' egg hunts are fun, this idea allows you to create a hunt that's a bit harder. Insert: a garden lollipop hunt! Here's how it works: simply buy a bag of Easter-colored pops and stick the paper sticks in the soft dirt. By the end, the kids will have a bouquet of lollipops. Just make sure to keep them wrapped!
'Chickers'
We've all heard of checkers, but have you heard of chickers? It's super easy to make this Easter-themed game set. The main ingredients are pom poms, a canvas board, and fuzzy sticks!

Easter Egg Bowling
Okay, this isn't like the other easter bowling games you know with pins. Instead, you have one white egg and a number of colored eggs. Place the white egg at least ten feet away from the bowlers. Everyone takes turns rolling or throwing their eggs, trying to get them to land as close as possible to the white egg. Whoever gets closest, wins!

Token Egg Hunt
Put a fabulous spin on your typical egg hunt by creating a token or 'coupon' hunt. Fill each egg with tokens the kids can pull out in the future to get out of a chore, pick dinner, receive a sweet treat, and more! Don't want to make them? This Etsy craft store does all the work for you.

Easter Piñata
Everyone has probably at least seen one of these before. But, if you need a refresher, have the kids line up and place a blindfold on the person at the front. Give them a plastic baton or bat and spin them around three times. They then try to hit the piñata! Each kid gets one hit until the piñata comes down, when everyone rushes forward to grab the goodies inside!
Carrot Toss
There are a few different ways to do an Easter carrot toss, and this one is edible!
The game is relatively straightforward: Place each player's baskets far away from them, depending on their skill level. Divide up carrots, and determine how many points is the winning number. On your mark, each player begins to 'toss' the carrots into their basket until one player reaches the winning number of points.

Cup and Egg Game

Lucky for us, this blogger uses perfect Easter colors to decorate this classic, budget-friendly game that keeps children entertained for hours.

Water Balloon Spoon Race
If you want to up the ante on your typical egg spoon race, substitute the hardboiled eggs for water balloons. You'll need larger wooden spoons, and make sure the kids are wearing shoes they don't mind getting wet!
Kubb
You know spring has arrived when you see families and teenagers playing Kubb in their yard or the park. If you've ever wondered about the game, it's the one where people throw blocks of wood at other blocks of wood.
The goal: Eventually knock over the 'King' at the center, but only after you have knocked down all of your opponent's 'Guard Kubbs' using the throwing Batons. However, you automatically lose if you knock the king over before you have eliminated the other team's guards.
Corn Hole Toss
Here's a good excuse to create a family-friendly corn hole board you'll use over and over again! The pastels make it work well for Easter, but you can always repaint the set for other holidays and seasons.
