Skittles guessing game

Here is a fun and simple indoor game suitable for all ages. Fill a bowl or a jar with skittles and ask each family member to guess how many skittles are inside. The one who makes the closest guess to how many candies are inside wins. Another skittles themed activity involves players wearing eye masks one by one and guessing the correct color of the skittle they taste.

Bunny bowling

Easter is just a hop and jumps away, to make it more exciting here is the perfect activity to make Easter afternoon more exciting. Buy wooden bowling pins from a craft store, paint them white and decorate them with hand-drawn faces and cute little paper ears. You will have a fun game to play with family and friends.

Water balloon toss

An outdoor fun activity for the whole family. Split into two teams. Have each pair toss a water balloon back and forth. If someone pops and drops the water balloon they are out, and soggy!

Plant flowers

Easter signifies rebirth, so what better day to plant some flowers with a little gardener. Sunflowers are easy to plant and grow very quickly. But you can get whichever flower seeds you prefer. Place the new flower pots near your front door. Your little ones will love to see their plants blooming.

Egg spoon race

This is a good’ol fashioned game.  Hard-boiled eggs are a perfect choice for this game because they’re the least messy. Decorate the eggs with paint, glitter, sequins, etc. Then hand all the participants( adults can also take part) a wooden or metal spoon and race individually while balancing their eggs on the predetermined course.
