Top 2 things to do on Easter week:
🐰#1 Teach Your Children the Story Behind Easter
For many Christians, Easter is a time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But for many kids, it’s all about the Easter Bunny.
How did this tradition come about?
According to one popular legend, the Easter Bunny first arrived in America in the early 1700s with German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania. These immigrants brought with them a tradition of decorating eggs and hiding them for children to find on Easter morning.
The legend goes on to say that the children would build nests out of straw and leaves, and the Easter Bunny would hide eggs in these nests.
Over time, the tradition of the Easter Bunny spread throughout the United States and became associated with other Easter traditions, such as chocolate eggs and Easter baskets. Today, the Easter Bunny is a popular symbol of Easter, and children all over the world enjoy searching for Easter eggs on Easter morning.
🐰 #2 Enjoy a Traditional Easter Meal
After all the fun and games, it’s time to enjoy a traditional Easter meal.
Easter dinner is a time-honored tradition and one that many families look forward to all year long.
The meal typically consists of ham or lamb as the main dish, with sides of hot cross buns, potatoes, vegetables, and salad. Of course, no Easter meal would be complete without a delicious dessert.
So there you have it! Two things to do this Easter week that will make it extra special for your family. Now, let’s talk about games because who doesn’t love them?
10 Fun Easter Game to Play With Your Kids
Among many things to do on Easter Sunday, games are on top. Here are the top 10 games you can play with your kids on Easter:
🐰#1 Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt:
Easter is a time for family fun and traditions, and an Easter Scavenger Hunt is the perfect activity to get everyone in on the action.
This Easter egg hunt will have your kids searching high and low for Easter eggs filled with sweet treats and cash prizes. To get started, hide Easter eggs around your house or yard. Then, give each child a list of clues that will lead them to the eggs.
The first child to find all of the eggs wins the game! For an extra challenge, add clues that require children to solve puzzles or riddles in order to find the next clue.
With a little planning and some Easter egg-citement, your Easter scavenger hunt will be a hit with the whole family.
🐰#2 Easter Egg Toss:
One of the most popular things to do on Easter week is playing Easter Egg Toss.

The Easter Egg Roll is a classic family traditional game that dates back centuries. Every year on Easter Monday, children roll hard-boiled eggs down a grassy hill, competing to see whose egg will go the furthest.
Every year on Easter Monday, the White House lawn is open to kids who want to roll decorated eggs down the grass. This special Easter celebration dates back to 1814 when Dolley Madison invited local children to come and roll eggs on the White House lawn.
Today, the event is just as popular as ever, attracting thousands of kids and their parents from all over the country. In addition to egg rolling, there are also many other activities for kids to enjoy, including face painting, live music, and an Easter Egg hunt.
🐰#5 Bunny Bowling
There’s no better way to get the whole gang involved than with a Easter game of Bunny Bowling.
To set up, simply put six plastic eggs in a triangle formation at the end of the lane, and then let the kids take turns trying to knock them down with a softball.
If all the eggs are knocked down on the first try, they get to go again. The Easter Bunny will be sure to award extra points for style!
Not only is Bunny Bowling a great way to get everyone moving, but it’s also a great way to teach kids about Easter and have some quality family time. So give it a try this Easter – you might just have a new holiday tradition on your hands!

Easter Egg Bingo is literal live entertainment. Not only is it a fun activity, but it also helps teach children important skills such as counting and matching.
Easter Egg Bingo can be played with any number of players, but it is typically best for groups of two to four. Each player begins by choosing one Easter egg from the Easter basket.
The egg is then placed in the corresponding square on the Easter Egg Bingo board. The game continues until all of the squares on the board have been filled. The first player to fill all of their squares is the winner.
