EASTER EGG GAMES WHO STOLE THE EGG? Children: Who stole the egg from the Easter Basket? Adult: (Ann) stole the egg from the Easter Basket? Ann: Who me? Children: Yes you! Ann: Couldn't be! Children: Then who? Ann: (Tommy) stole the egg from the Easter Basket? Tommy: Who me? Children: Yes you! Tommy: Couldn't be! Children: Then who? [Repeat] WHERE IS YOUR EGG?
Played like "Doggie
Doggie where's your bone?" Have one child sit
in the middle of the circle, and hide their eyes. Give another
child an egg to hide behind their back. Have all the other children put
their hands behind their back. Chant the following song:
Bunny, Bunny, Your egg you can't find, Somebody has it, Check behind, The child in the middle gets three guesses. Then the child who had the egg goes into the middle. EGG TOSS
Supply the children
with plastic eggs and an easter basket. Place
a piece of masking tape on the floor for a throw line. The
distance
from the basket to the line should vary with abilities. Have the
children
throw the eggs into the basket.
ROLL THE EGG
If you have more
than one child, it can be a race, or for one child you
can time them. Place masking tape on the floor for the start and
finish lines. Place one plastic egg on the starting line for each
child. Explain that the object of the game is to roll the egg to
the finish line with YOUR NOSE. If they get too good, add a few
obstacles, such as a chair to go around, or tape a line for them to try
to follow, be creative.
EGG HUNT PARTY
Use one or all of
the art ideas to create invitations to an Egg Hunt party. A few ideas
that I have seen have been:
-Place coins in the eggs. -Place paper in the eggs that tells you what they have "won", like a toosie roll, or a sticker. -Let the children turn in the eggs for the prizes, 1 egg, 1 prize! -Let the children keep the eggs, and hand out goodie bags too. MUSICAL EASTER EGGS
Cut out large egg
shapes from colored paper. Laminate them and cut them
out. Place them on the floor. It is best for younger children to have
more
eggs than children. Play music and have the children walk around the
room.
When the music stops, each child needs to find an egg to stand on.
PASS THE EGG
Played like hot potato... have the
children sit in a circle and pass plastic egg around the circle when
music is playing, when the music stops the child holding the egg sits
in the middle or the "Easter Egg pot" until the music stops again and
the next child replaces the first. You may also chant "Easter Egg,
Easter Egg 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10" and the child who has the egg
on 10 is in the "Easter Egg pot."
PASS THE EGG II
For older children. Have one child
hold a plastic egg under his/her chin and try to pass the egg to a
friend. You could do this in a circle or you can do a relay race where
the children have to run with the egg under their chin.
