Easter Games for Older Kids
Easter means that spring has come and kids get to put aside their winter clothing and wear floral print dresses and smart-looking suits. If the weather is nice, they can play outside without heavy coats for the first time in months. Easter is also one of the times during the year when children get showered with candy and sweets. But if you want to make the holiday extra-special, give your kids some fun activities by planning some great games for them to play.
Easter Games for Kids & Adults
Easter can bring out the kid in even the most serious adults, and Easter party games give parents a chance to share the joy of spring with their children. When weather allows, parties can take place entirely outside–Easter brunch served on the patio can segue smoothly into races and treasure hunts. A large central table piled with baskets and treats helps create a central gathering place where hosts can explain the rules and prizes for the games.
Family Games for Picnics
Picnics can be great fun for the entire family. Along with the good picnic food that everyone will enjoy, picnic planners should look ahead and prepare for picnic games. Family members who attend the picnic will then not only be treated to a picnic basket full of treats, they’ll be able to participate in games that will be fun and help to bring the entire family closer together.
Family Outdoor Games
Families play outdoor games together for several reasons. Outdoor games are generally less sedate than indoor games. For example, an outdoor game of croquet will provide more exercise than an indoor game of sitting at a table and playing cards. Outdoor family games can also work to strengthen family bonds. These games help families to get exercise, to have fun together and to grow closer to each other.
