Reverse Easter Egg Hunt

Instead of the kids hunting eggs, they hide the eggs and adults have to find them.

Scrambled Egg Hunt

1. Hide One letter in each egg.
2. Lay prizes out on a table (cash, gift cards, toys).
3. Spell out the name of each prize using the hidden letters.
4. The person to get the last letter of each prize, wins that prize.

Easter Egg Battle

Players each get a hard-boiled egg. They pair up and hit their eggs against each other. The goal is to break your opponent's egg. The winner is the last person with an un-cracked egg.

Easter Egg Chase

1. Attach plastic eggs to each player's back or belt.
2. Players try to steal each other's eggs.
3. Play for "points" or until everyone is out of eggs.
