The holidays are the best time to spend together, time we dedicate to family, giving them the best of everything. The Easter Bunny bringing gifts to children is becoming increasingly common. Giving gifts can be a fun activity for the whole family. Here are some Easter outdoor games that might inspire you to play together .
Easter Fun - Hear the Bunny
A game for small or impatient children. Leave a soft melody playing, for example, from a telephone, next to the hidden bunny . It must be quiet enough for the child to use their ears to locate the hidden bunny. We can add elements of a "hot-cold" game to make reaching the goal easier.
Tracking a bunny in the garden
If you're hiding a bunny in the garden, you can cut out paper trails—eggs, flowers, paws—and your child can follow them to their destination. Depending on their age, the trails should be closer or farther apart. Ideally, when they see one trail, they should only see the next one, and then the next.
The game can be enhanced with a special element – if a child enjoys singing or reciting poems, they can have this task based on a theme chosen by their parents. They can also say something nice about their parents or siblings. The tracks should be well-arranged so that the child can't take shortcuts – they can be numbered for ease .
Easter Treasure Hunt - Easter Field Game
Place signs in various parts of the garden directing the child to the hidden gift. Depending on the child's age, they can be larger or smaller, and more or less hidden. Easter scavenger hunts can be enhanced with a special element – the child can have a special task based on a chosen theme , say a given item in a foreign language, or name a fairy tale character they associate with it, for example: a carrot for Bags the rabbit, a flower for Maya the bee.

- Skewer sticks
The game can also be brought indoors – simply stick the sticks into potato halves (which will serve as stands). After playing, the sticks can be used as table decorations by sticking them into home-grown cress.

Surprise Egg Hunt
For outdoor or indoor play, instead of sticks, you can use homemade Easter egg pockets – the decorating technique is optional. Their size depends only on your initiative. You can involve your child (without telling them what you're using them for), and after play, they'll become a family decoration at home, or you can hang them on strings from a forsythia sprig .
- Colored paper
- Crayons or markers
- Scissors
- Glue
We hide candy or written riddles or instructions for the child inside the Easter eggs. After finding all of them and completing the tasks, the child receives a gift. However, remember that the tasks shouldn't be too difficult, so as not to discourage the child.
Hanging eggs in tissue paper
This game requires a tree or other hanging space (e.g., a pull-up bar at home). If you have plastic opening eggs and small gifts, you can wrap them in tissue paper and hang them on a tree in the garden. Before doing so, attach a string to the bottom half of the eggs. Pulling the string will tear the lower half of the tissue paper, opening the path to the gift. You can also use surprise egg containers for this game.
Searching for a gift from the Easter Bunny can be the beginning of other fun activities together. Remember that time spent with a child is the most precious gift.
