Nighttime easter egg hunt with lanterns  

Once you’ve put the kids to bed, let the real fun start with an evening easter egg hunt, which is made even more magical under the stars. Decorate your garden with lanterns and candles, or use glow-in-the-dark eggs to set the perfect mood. There's something about nighttime that makes the taste of the chocolate Easter eggs even more special.  

 

Trivia-themed easter egg hunt  

Trivia is always a crowd-pleaser and a game that makes everyone excited to get involved. Incorporate it into your easter egg hunt by adding trivia questions to the eggs you’ve hidden around your yard. Whoever gets the most correct answers wins a mega prize at the end. It could be anything from a giant chocolate egg to a gift card for your local restaurant—spoil your guests as much as you’d like. 

 

Egg and spoon race  

Don’t let the kids have all the fun—make sure you have some games lined up for your adult guests, too. This low-prep idea is sure to bring plenty of laughter. The classic egg and spoon race never disappoints, and all you need are fresh eggs, spoons, and some willing participants.  

 

Easter brunch 

Sometimes, running around can feel like too much work; instead, prepare a lovely brunch with good food, drinks, and gourmet chocolates. Keep the festive spirit alive by decorating the table with spring flowers, porcelain eggs, and Easter chocolate animals. Help your guests unwind with mimosas and a well-stocked charcuterie board. 

 

Carrot cocktails  

Carrot cocktails will bring a touch of magic to your Easter table—festive, delicious, and easy to prepare, they fit the theme perfectly. You can mix them ahead of time for your guests or let them join in the fun. Simply pour a dash of vodka, carrot juice, lemon juice, and honey syrup into champagne glasses. Then, garnish with a long stalk of celery or parsley to resemble the green top of a carrot. 

 

Egg toss game  

For guaranteed laughs and some chaotic fun, try the egg toss game. Split your guests into pairs and see who can successfully toss a fresh egg back and forth without cracking it—the last pair standing wins. After all that excitement, reward everyone’s efforts with gifts and decadent Easter mini eggs. 

 

Fitness challenge 

If you and your loved ones are fitness fans, why not turn the Easter egg hunt into a full-body workout. Set up different challenge stations—think push-ups, planks, and burpee competitions—and see who truly earns the title of fittest of them all.  

 

Arts & crafts hunt 

Getting creative is a fun treat for the grown-ups—hide craft supplies for an art project throughout your garden and turn the search into part of the fun. Then, guide everyone through a DIY project that lets them take home a special memento. Whether it’s making Easter wreaths or decorating eggs, it’s a hands-on way to celebrate the day. 

 

A game of bocce 

Bocce is like a mini-game of lawn bowls that you can happily play in your own backyard. The egg-shaped balls help play into the Easter theme while the game itself lets you enjoy the outdoors with your loved ones and soak up those first warm rays of spring sunshine.
