1. Eggs In Your Trunk
This one never fails to get the whole room laughing. Picture this: grown adults shaking their hips like there’s no tomorrow, trying to fling ping pong balls out of a tissue box strapped to their backside. It’s ridiculous. It’s hilarious. It’s a guaranteed hit.
Best for: All ages, icebreaker, large groups
Time to Play: 1 minute per player

What You’ll Need:
Empty tissue boxes (one per player)
Ping pong balls (about 6-8 per box)
Belt, ribbon, or string
Scissors

1. Prep your “egg cartons”: Cut two small slits in the back of each tissue box and thread a belt or string through them so players can tie the box around their waist.
2. Load ’em up: Fill each tissue box with 6-8 ping pong balls (these are your “eggs”).
3. Get shaking: Players strap the tissue box to their lower back/hips and position it like a tail.

2. Baby Chick Feathers
This deceptively simple game will have players frantically puffing and blowing like they’re trying to keep a campfire going. It looks easy. It’s not.

Players: 1+ (great for tournament-style play)

2. Set the rule: Players must keep their feather floating in the air for the entire 60 seconds without using their hands, arms, or any objects.
3. Blow, blow, blow: Players can blow on the feather, move their bodies, or use any creative method – except touching it!
4. Last one floating: If a player’s feather hits the ground, they’re out. The last person with their feather still airborne wins.
Fun Variation: For younger kids, reduce the time to 30 seconds. For an extra challenge with older players, have them keep two feathers up at once!

Time to Play: 1 minute
Players: 1+
What You’ll Need:
12-15 plastic Easter eggs per player (separated into halves and mixed up)
What You’ll Need:

How to Play:
1. Separate and scramble: Before the game, split all the plastic eggs in half and mix them into one big, chaotic pile in front of each player.
2. Ready, set, match: When the timer starts, players frantically search through their pile to find matching egg halves and snap them back together.
3. Complete eggs only: Only fully assembled eggs count toward your total.
4. Winner takes all: When time’s up, the player with the most complete, color-matched eggs wins.
Pro Tip: Make this harder for older kids and adults by using eggs with similar colors (multiple shades of pink, blue, etc.) so they really have to focus to find exact matches!
4. Easter Egg Balance
Channel your inner track-and-field athlete for this one! It’s a classic egg-and-spoon race condensed into 60 seconds of nail-biting suspense.
Best for: All ages, great for outdoor play
Time to Play: 1 minute
Players: 1+ (or race head-to-head)

Wooden or plastic spoons (one per player)
Plastic Easter eggs or hard-boiled eggs (if playing outside on grass)
Two chairs or markers per player (for start/finish points)
How to Play:
1. Set up the course: Place a chair or marker about 10-15 feet away from the starting line for each player.
2. Balance up: Give each player a spoon and an Easter egg to balance on it.
3. The challenge: Players must walk from the starting line to the chair and back without dropping their egg. Hands can only touch the spoon handle – not the egg!
4. Drop it, restart it: If the egg falls, the player must go back to the start and try again.
5. First one back: The first player to complete the round trip with their egg still balanced wins.
Fun Variation: For an extra challenge, have players hold the spoon in their mouth instead of their hand. Prepare for lots of giggles!
5. Easter Chopsticks
Ever tried picking up a slippery jelly bean with chopsticks? It’s harder than it looks, and that’s exactly what makes this game so entertaining. You’ll witness some impressive concentration faces during this one!
Best for: Teens and adults (younger kids can use tweezers)
Time to Play: 1 minute
Players: 1+
What You’ll Need:
Chopsticks (one pair per player)
Small paper plates (two per player)
Jelly beans (about 20-30 per player)
How to Play:
1. Prep the plates: Give each player two plates – one filled with jelly beans, one empty.
2. Chopstick challenge: Players must use only chopsticks to transfer jelly beans from the full plate to the empty plate.
3. No hands: Players can’t use their hands to adjust the jelly beans or reposition them on the plate.
4. Count ’em up: When the minute is up, the player who successfully moved the most jelly beans wins.
Pro Tip: For younger kids (or to make it easier), use mini marshmallows instead of jelly beans – they’re easier to grip!
6. Easter Bounce
Think you’ve got aim? This game will put your bouncing skills to the test. It’s all about finding that perfect angle and force – which is way trickier than it sounds!
Best for: Older kids, teens, adults
Time to Play: 1 minute
Players: 1+
What You’ll Need:
Empty egg cartons (one per player)
Ping pong balls (at least 10 per player)
Tables or flat surfaces
How to Play:
1. Set up the target: Place an empty egg carton at the far end of a table or about 3-4 feet away from each player.
2. Get bouncing: Players must bounce ping pong balls on the table, trying to get them to land inside the egg carton cups.
3. No direct throws: The ball must bounce at least once on the table before going into the carton – no drop shots allowed!
4. Highest score wins: Each ball that lands in a carton cup counts as one point. Most points after 60 seconds wins.
Fun Variation: Assign point values to different cups in the carton (corners = 3 points, middle = 1 point) for an extra strategic element!
7. Peeps Necklace
This is the perfect combo of silly and surprisingly challenging. Who knew threading marshmallow chicks onto string could be so competitive?
Best for: All ages
Time to Play: 1 minute
Players: 1+
What You’ll Need:
Peeps marshmallows (10 per player)
Heavy-duty fishing line or thick string (about 24 inches per player)
How to Play:
1. Prep your “beads”: Give each player 10 Peeps and a piece of fishing line.
2. Thread carefully: Players have 60 seconds to thread as many Peeps as possible onto their string by pushing the line through the marshmallow.
3. Gentle does it: Peeps are delicate! If one rips in half, it doesn’t count.
4. Most Peeps wins: The player who successfully threads the most intact Peeps onto their necklace is the winner.
Pro Tip: Use thick fishing line or even a shoelace – regular thread is too thin and will tear through the Peeps too easily. And slightly stale Peeps actually work better than fresh ones because they’re firmer!
8. Jelly Bean Shake
This game is pure physics – and pure comedy. Watching players frantically shake two bottles while jelly beans refuse to cooperate never gets old.
Best for: Older kids, teens, adults
Time to Play: 1 minute
Players: 1+
What You’ll Need:
Empty plastic water bottles (two per player)
Jelly beans (enough to fill one bottle about 3/4 full)
Strong packing tape or duct tape
How to Play:
1. Fill ‘er up: Have each player fill one water bottle about 3/4 full with jelly beans.
2. Create the contraption: Tape the opening of the empty bottle to the opening of the filled bottle, creating one tall double-bottle tower.
3. Flip and shake: When the timer starts, players flip their contraption so the filled bottle is on top and shake vigorously to get all the jelly beans to transfer to the bottom (now empty) bottle.
4. All or nothing: The first player to get ALL their jelly beans into the bottom bottle wins. If nobody finishes, whoever transferred the most wins.
Pro Tip: Make sure that tape seal is TIGHT – you don’t want jelly beans flying everywhere mid-shake! And this game works great with teams of two if you’re short on time for setup.
9. Thread a Rainbow
If you loved making Froot Loop necklaces as a kid, this is the grown-up competitive version. It’s simple, colorful, and oddly satisfying!
Best for: All ages

What You’ll Need:
Froot Loops cereal (or any O-shaped cereal)
Pipe cleaners (one per player)
Small bowls or piles of cereal

Fun Variation: For younger kids, challenge them to create a pattern (red, yellow, green, repeat) for an extra educational twist!
10. Jelly Bean Suck-Up
Fair warning: This game requires some serious lung power! It’s hilarious watching players turn red-faced as they desperately try to defy gravity with a straw.

Plastic straws (one per player)
Jelly beans (about 30 per player)

4. Most transferred wins: The player who moves the most jelly beans in 60 seconds takes home the victory!
Pro Tip: Smaller jelly beans work better than jumbo ones for this challenge. And remind players to keep breathing between beans – nobody needs to pass out over candy!

What You’ll Need:
Easter baskets (one per player or one shared)

4. Accuracy counts: Only marshmallows that land inside the basket count.

Best for: All ages
Time to Play: 1 minute

1. Give each player supplies: Hand out a plate and a pile of Peeps to each competitor.

4. Still standing wins: When time’s up, measure each tower. The tallest stack still standing wins.
Pro Tip: Slightly stale Peeps are actually better for this game – they’re firmer and stack more reliably. Leave them out of the package for a few hours before your party!
13. Jelly Bean Hunt
It’s like an Easter egg hunt, but blindfolded and on a time crunch. The giggling and fumbling that ensues makes this one a spectator favorite!

Easter baskets (one per player)
Easter grass or paper shred

1. Hide the beans: Fill each Easter basket with Easter grass and bury jelly beans throughout.
2. Blindfold up: Have players sit in front of their basket and put on a blindfold.
3. Hunt by feel: When the timer starts, players dig through the grass using only their hands to find as many jelly beans as possible.
4. Count your finds: When time’s up, remove blindfolds and count. The player who found the most jelly beans wins!
Pro Tip: Use different colored jelly beans and award bonus points for finding specific colors to add an extra challenge for older kids!

Time to Play: 1 minute
Players: 1+

Plastic Easter eggs, separated into halves (at least 20 halves per player)

3. Rebuild allowed: If your tower topples, you can rebuild – but that clock is ticking!

Fun Variation: For an easier version, let younger kids stack them dome-side down (flat side up) for more stability.

What You’ll Need:
Jelly beans (about 30-40 per player)
Plastic straws (one per player)
Painter’s tape or masking tape
A table or flat surface

1. Create the finish line: Use painter’s tape to create a line across the table about 18-24 inches from the starting edge.
2. Spread the beans: Scatter jelly beans on the table in front of each player at the starting line.
3. Blow, don’t throw: Players use their straw to blow air and push jelly beans across the finish line – no touching the beans!
4. Cross the line: Only jelly beans that completely cross the tape line count.
5. Most beans wins: When time’s up, count how many jelly beans each player successfully pushed over the line.
Pro Tip: This works best on a smooth table surface. Tablecloths make it much harder!

Plenty of space

Fun Variation: Award points for different landing zones (like target areas marked on the floor) to make it more like a carnival game!

4. First to finish: The first player to successfully stack and unstack all cups wins!

This game is like bobbing for apples meets Easter party, and it’s absolutely hilarious! Watching players dive face-first into whipped cream trying to grab eggs with just their mouth creates some of the funniest moments of the whole party.
Best for: Older kids, teens, adults (messy game alert!)
Time to Play: 1 minute
Players: 1+
What You’ll Need:
Large mixing bowl or pie tin (one per player)
Whipped cream (one can per player)
Small plastic Easter eggs (10-15 per player)
Paper towels and cleanup supplies
Optional: safety goggles to protect eyes
How to Play:
1. Bury the treasure: Fill each bowl or pie tin with a thick layer of whipped cream (about 2-3 inches deep).
2. Hide the eggs: Push 10-15 small plastic Easter eggs deep into the whipped cream until they’re completely hidden.
3. Hands behind back: Players must keep both hands behind their back throughout the entire game.
4. Mouth excavation only: When the timer starts, players dive face-first into the whipped cream and use only their mouth to grab eggs and pull them out.
5. Extracted eggs only: Eggs must be completely removed from the bowl and dropped beside it to count – no spitting allowed!
6. Most eggs wins: The player who excavates the most eggs in 60 seconds is the champion archaeologist!
Pro Tip: This is definitely an outdoor game or one to play over a wipeable surface. Players will emerge looking like whipped cream monsters! Use smaller eggs for younger kids to make them easier to grab, and consider having wet towels ready for immediate face cleanup. The photos from this game are absolutely priceless!
