Backyard Games for Easter

All you really need for an afternoon of Easter activities is a backyard or park to play in, which means these outdoor games are easy to play while practicing social distancing. Some of our favorite Easter games:

Egg Toss: Partners stand across from each other and throw a raw egg back and forth. After each toss, they take a step backward. The last team with a whole egg wins.

Egg Darts: Make a wooden target, and instead of darts, throw raw eggs. It's a bit messy, but you'll have no problem seeing where the egg hit the target.

Ring Toss: After the kid's Easter egg hunt, gather in the backyard for a game of ring toss. Try making your own DIY ring toss set!

Adult Easter Egg Decorating

Who said Easter egg dyeing was just for kids? Intricate designs call for adult attention to detail, making this traditional Easter activity just as fun for adults. If you want to keep your eggs after the decorating is over, use ceramic or wooden eggs ($10, Amazon) rather than real ones.

Easter Dessert Exchange

Thinking about including a new treat on your Easter sweets spread? Test delicious new recipes by hosting a baking exchange with your friends. Make it a fun Easter game for adults and vote for your favorite dessert. Have each person make their treats at home, then organize an Easter Zoom call where each person can present what they made—then coordinate no-contact deliveries. The winner gets an Easter basket filled with treats, candy, or even champagne.

Easter activities for adults don't get prettier than this! Make the most of spring blooms with a DIY flower arranging party. Purchase individual flower stems and supply each person with everything they need to create a spring bouquet. We like to stock up on kraft paper, ribbon, and tissue paper. If you'll be celebrating with anyone outside your household, consider hosting the event outdoors and be sure each station is more than six feet apart.
