20 Wildly Egg-citing Easter Egg Games for All Ages
1. Eggshell Shuffle
Teams or individual players work to match and connect as many plastic egg halves as possible in a given time.
Make it easier: Put half of each plastic egg in separate baskets for easier matching!
2. Egg-cellent Memory
Print and cut out the free printable Easter memory cards.
Place each card face down on the table and cover it with a plastic egg half so none of the images are visible. Mix them up well so the locations are random.
Players take turns lifting two eggs to reveal the pictures underneath. If the pictures match, the player keeps that pair and gets another turn.
If they don’t match, cover them back up with the eggs in the same spots and the next player goes. Continue until all pairs have been found.
Winner: The player with the most matches at the end wins!
Tip: For younger kids, use fewer pairs. For older players, use more cards or set a timer for each turn to make it more exciting.
3. Blow The Eggs Away
Blow the Eggs Away is a fast-paced game where players use only a straw to move as many plastic eggs off a table as possible.
To set up, line a row of eggs on a flat surface and give each player a straw, marking a starting line so everyone knows where to stand. On “Go!” players must blow the eggs using only their straw and try to knock as many as they can off the edge within one minute.
4. Hop & Drop
Players hop like bunnies from a starting line to a basket, carefully drop a plastic egg inside, and then hop back to tag the next teammate. Teams take turns, racing to see who can transport the most eggs within the time limit.
5. Blow That Egg!
Place 10 brightly colored plastic eggs alongside 2–4 white eggs on a table or tray. Using only a straw, players must blow all the colored eggs off the surface while carefully keeping the white eggs in place.
6. Scrambled Egg Hunt
*A family favorite!
For this Easter egg hunt game, you hide eggs containing letters instead of candy. You must unscramble each egg (or eggs) to find where the next egg is hidden. Find a prize at the end of the hunt!
7. Basket Toss
Players race to see who can toss the most plastic eggs into an Easter basket from a set distance.
Make it harder: Make the distance of the basket easier or harder based on the age of the players.
8. Speedy Egg Hunt
Have players leave the room while plastic eggs are quickly hidden. When they return, the player who collects the most in a minute wins. Take turns hiding and playing!

9. Egg Stack Challenge
Players stack plastic egg halves as high as possible before the time runs out!
10. Egg Flip
Set the bottom halves of plastic eggs curved-side down so they look like bowls. The challenge is to tap the undersides to try to flip them over. If one falls off the table, just grab it and keep going.
Play individually and time each person, or have everyone compete at once to see who can flip all their eggs first.
11. Egg Head Showdown
Two players stand 10 feet apart. The first player tries to toss 10 Easter eggs into a basket held on the second player’s head in a set amount of time.
12. Exciting Easter Egg Dice Game
This Easter Egg Exchange Dice Game is a great way to add excitement to your festivities. You’ll have fun swapping, passing, and exchanging Easter eggs while playing with an element of surprise!
13. Easter Left Right Story Game
Each player stands in a circle holding an egg. The narrator reads the Easter Left Right story aloud. Whenever you hear the word “left,” pass your egg to the person on your left. And when you hear the word “right,” pass your egg to the right.
By the end of the story, everyone keeps the egg they are holding and the prize inside!
14. Plastic Egg Scavenger Hunt
Each egg contains a clue that leads to the next hiding spot, guiding them step by step until reaching the final egg surprise. It’s a fun, interactive twist on a traditional egg hunt that works perfectly for Easter morning or anytime you want a little mystery and excitement.
15. Golden Egg Bocce
This fun Easter twist on bocce is easy to set up and great for all ages. Start by placing one golden egg on the ground. This is your target. Each player (or team) gets a set of colored plastic eggs. Players take turns gently rolling or tossing their eggs, trying to land as close as possible to the golden egg without touching it. If an egg bumps or moves the golden egg, that throw doesn’t count.
Once everyone has taken their turns, measure or compare distances. The player whose egg is closest wins the round and earns a point. Play multiple rounds and keep score to crown the Golden Egg Bocce champion!
16. Egg Toss Challenge
Have partners toss an egg back and forth. But they must take a step back after each catch. You can use a plastic egg for less mess, or a real one to add an element of “danger!”
17. Egg Rolling Race
Use a spoon (or even your nose!) to roll an egg across the yard to the finish line.
18. Easter Egg Brain Builder
Create a pattern using 8–12 Easter eggs on a tray or table and cover it so no one can see. Each player gets a matching set of eggs in the same colors.
Lift the cover and give players 15 seconds to study not the eggs. Cover the pattern again.
Players now have to recreate the pattern exactly in front of them. Anyone with the correct pattern earns a point and stays in.
After each round, rearrange the master pattern. Reduce the viewing time by 3–5 seconds. Keep playing until only one player can still successfully match the pattern.
Optional Twist: For an extra challenge, allow players to peek for 3 seconds midway through their building time.
19. Real Egg Roulette
Warning: This version uses real eggs and WILL get messy. Play outside or somewhere easy to clean!
Real Egg Roulette is a hilarious game of chance that’s equal parts suspense and silliness. Start with a dozen real eggs for every two-three players. 8 eggs should be hard-boiled, and 4 should be raw. Mix them together so no one knows which is which.
Players take turns choosing an egg and gently cracking it on their head. If it’s hard-boiled, they’re safe. If it’s raw… well, they’re wearing it! The first player to crack two raw eggs on their head is out. Keep playing until only one clean-haired champion remains.
20. Guess What’s Inside
Fill plastic eggs with different objects and let kids try to guess what’s inside after shaking them!
Example objects include:
- marbles
- rice
- sugar
- flour
- plastic beads
- Legos
- paperclips
- Goldfish crackers
- beans
- pieces of spaghetti
- bells
You can also turn this into a matching game for older kids to find a pair of eggs that contain the same objects.
Smelly Eggs variation: Place different scents inside the eggs and try to guess what’s inside (try dipping cotton balls in different scents if the objects don’t fit).
