The kids can also make their own Easter board games with construction card and markers. These can then be decorated with stickers, glitter or pictures. Once they are finished the kids can enjoy playing their game.
Easter Relays
If you are looking for more active kids Easter activities, you might like to try relays, Easter themed races or egg hunts.  The classic egg and spoon race is great for Easter and can also be held as a relay.
Easter Bowling
Another interesting Easter game is Easter bowling. Each child will need a different colored egg. It can be either a a foil wrapped Easter egg or a dyed, hardboiled egg. Next roll a plain egg along the floor or the ground. The kids thentake turns at rolling their eggs as close as possible to the plain egg. The person whose egg is closest is the winner.
Easter Cooking
Making chocolates is another fun Easter activity for the children to try. Rocky Road is simple to make and a favorite to eat! Firstly melt the chocolate. Then add marshmallows and small jelly candies. This can be spooned out in large chunks onto a tray or set in the bowl and then refrigerated. It will take about 30 minutes to set in the refrigerator if it is set in the bowl. If it is set in the bowl, turn it out in a large lump then cut it into pieces. It is best for an adult to cut this though.
