• Easter Flash Cards. Chick, rabbit, egg, golden egg, dentist, etc.
• 6 chairs

How to play

Have 6 chairs spread evenly around the outer edge of the room or outdoor playing area. Place one flash card face down on the top of each chair. Children are not to look! Have them dance about to some funky Easter Music. When it stops, they sit down next to the chair of their choice. Then, pretending to be Mystic Meg, or something, cover your eyes and call out the name of one of the flash cards. The students can now turn over the flash cards. The ones sitting next to the correct card are super amazing lucky winners! Ham it up all you can.

Have the children all stand up and dance about again. Remove one of the chairs and one of the flash cards. Shuffle the cards and place one per chair face down. And so on. Repeat until there is only one chair. Wow, everyones a winner!

From experience it can take a couple of goes for the children to catch on, but once they do... awesome.

Two teams, arranged in lines at the opposite end of the classroom from an Easter Egg card pool. Call out a flashcard. The last student on each team must crawl through the leg tunnel formed by the rest of his teammates, scurry out the end of the tunnel, race to the card pool and take the appropriate card before his opponent.

• Bucket load of Easter Eggs (Amazon #Ad)

How to play

This will really depend upon the budget of your school. Hide a shed load of eggs in the local park and have the kids go find them. Kinder eggs work well as they are safely inside a plastic shell, or have them collect mini flash card eggs and have them trade them in, like tokens, for real eggs.

Children stand in teams holding hands. There is a teacher at the head of each team holding a hoola hoop. Have the first student step through the hoola hoop. And so on until the last child make it. That is the winning team.

• Easter Flash Cards

How to play

6 Children stand in a line in front of the seated masses. Behind them they hold one FC.
Have those children turn around a few times. Then ask two of the seated children to form a line in front of the student holding the Easter Chick card. Once they are seated ask another 2, and so on. You can increase the difficulty of this game with more standing students or have them turn around fewer times. After each round, the 6 children that are sitting down the best get to be your helpers.

• Egg & Spoon Race Set (Amazon #Ad)
• Eggs (Amazon #Ad)

How to play

Have all the teams line up at one start line. They have to run to a traffic cone some distance away then pass the spoon to their team mate. Once they have handed over the spoon they return to the back of the team line. Have the first person in each team wear a coloured hat or sash if you have a very large number of team members.

Hard boiled eggs, or real eggs? It depends on whether you are indoors or out, and how much cleaning up you feel like doing.

Two short games will be more fun for the children than one long one.

• Balloons (Amazon #Ad)

How to play

Draw bunny rabbit faces or easter eggs on each balloon. A magic marker is probably best for this.

A number of teams of even size.
Put a balloon between the knees of the first team member. They must put it between the knees of the second team member with out using their hands.

This game can be made more difficult using Easter themed flash cards that must be passed only with elbows, backsides etc.

• A Large Number of Hoola Hoops (Amazon #Ad)

How to play

Lie them about the place. Have all the children stand in a hoola hoop. Thats not one hoola hoop each, its enough that everyone can stand inside it. Play some funky music and have the children dance about the place.

Remove a hoola hoop or two. When the music stops they must all stand in a hoola hoop.
Those who can’t make it are eaten by alligators and become the Police Officers for the next round.

Repeat until there is one hoola hoop left. Those inside that are champions.
I can’t think how to get the word easter into the game title, but it works a treat with large mixed age and ability groups.
