Hippitty Hop Hop Hurry Up

I thought I'd post some quick last minute Easter party ideas in case anyone hops on by looking for some...

Pin The Tail on The Bunny - So simple and so cute.  Just draw a bunny and use cottonballs as the tails.

Get the Sheep Back to Sleep - Since you've got those cotton balls out how about using them as little sheep in another simple game.  Tape a picture of a barn on the front of a cardboard box and cut a hole out for the door.   Lay your little cotton ball sheep on the floor or table a small distance from the barn and have the children blow them back into the barn.

Throw the Egg in the Basket/s - Yes, that's it.  Throw plastic eggs into an empty basket.  You could even line up three or four baskets one in front of the other and play "Grand Prize Game" style.

Feed the Bunny - Tape a bunny face onto a box and cut out a hole for the mouth.  Feed your bunny baby carrots or jelly beans.

Egg Match - Either draw eggs in matching pairs or hide matching objects inside plastic eggs.  If you use the plastic eggs you can put them in a couple of empty egg cartons to keep them in line.

Musical Eggs - Cut egg shapes out of paper and use them instead of chairs to make Musical Eggs

Eggtionary - For somewhat older kiddos put slips of paper with everyday objects into plastic eggs.  They take turns choosing one, drawing what the paper says, and getting their team to guess what it is.

Silly Eggs - or how about just putting silly things to do on the slips of paper (act like a monkey, hop backwards, etc.)

Bunny Bowling - put pictures of bunnies on empty water bottles and bowl away.  I'm honestly not sure if an egg would work as a ball but if not you could always just draw or tape a picture of an egg onto a ball.  Better yet, how about calling it Scrambled eggs and putting pictures of eggs on the water bottles or even perch plastic eggs on top of the bottles.

Bunny Bingo - Guess what, Bunny has the same number of letters as Bingo and you can print out your own Bingo cards for free at dltk-cards.com

Bunny Hop - get out your pillowcases and have a good old fashioned sack race

Happy Easter!  ~ Lisa
