Easter is one of those holidays that just begs for some serious (and not-so-serious) family time together! Whether you’re religious or not, Easter Sunday is made for brunches, scavenger hunts, cards, photo ops, and — what we’re here for — Easter games!
A classic egg hunt in the backyard is pretty much a given, and for good reason! It’s so fun to watch the kiddos’ faces light up with each discovery. But don’t be fooled into thinking the fun stops there! Exciting, Easter-themed games for kids (and adults) abound.
If you’re hosting this year, or you just want to help out the host and hostess with some great ideas, here are our 40 best Easter games for kids and the whole family. Let’s hop to it!
