Duck Races
Players line up on a start line.
At the signal, they all bend over and grasp their ankles.

This game is played in the same fashion, except everyone must hop.
If you don’t hop, then you’re automatically “it.”

This game is like duck, duck, goose with a hop.
Change the words to bunny as you tap each child and hop when one child is selected.
Instead of running around the circle, players hop with their feet together.

Putplenty of eggsin plain view if you have younger ones to keep their interest.
Finding the golden egg is a delight.
Egg Toss
This Easter game for kids is played in pairs.
Each pair faces each other at a starting line and is given one egg.
The person with the egg tosses it to the person without it.
With each toss, each person takes a large step backward.
This continues until they reach an end mark and return to the starting line with an unbroken egg.
If a team doesn’t complete their toss and the egg breaks, they’re out of the game.
No matter how many eggs they find, everyone gets the same prize.
The egg is placed on the ground and pushed to the finish line with a stick.
The hockey stick must stay below waist level, and the egg can’t crack or break.
The first one to the finish line wins.
