On the word, “go!” the first player from each team must race to the basket, choose an egg and perform the command. The judges must determine if the command is completed, and when it is, will signal the player to run back and tag the next player in line. If a player can’t complete a command after two tries, they must place it back in the basket and return to the back of the line. The first team to complete all of their egg commands wins the game. Some egg command suggestions include:
Hop like the Easter bunny. Shake your bunny tail. Name three kinds of Easter candy. Juggle two eggs. Roll around as an egg dropped on the ground.
You can also add props to the game to make the commands goofier. For instance, supply a couple of bunny costumes that kids must wear when performing their tasks. When you signal the start of the race, the two players at the starting line must put the baskets on their heads and hop like bunnies to their closest teammates. Their teammates will pick up the eggs and place them in the baskets. The baskets are then handed off to the waiting players, who also put them on their heads and hop like bunnies to the next set of players. The race continues with the collecting of eggs and handing off of the baskets to the next players. The first team to collect all of their eggs and hop with the baskets on their heads to the finish line wins. carolmellema / Getty Images The first player in line for each team must race to the table and place as many jelly beans as they can on their spoons. They must then race back and dump their jelly beans into the empty basket and hand the spoon off to the next player, who has to do the same. Play continues in this manner until one team has transferred all of their jelly beans. If a runner drops any jelly beans in the course of the race, they must go back and start over. Teams will choose one player to be their egg. That player will put on the garbage bag. The remaining team members race to stuff their egg full of Easter grass and decorate it by wrapping it with the colored streamers. Blindfold players and offer them a taste of each piece of candy. As they taste, ask them to identify the name of the candy. A player scores one point for each correct guess. The player with the highest score after everyone has had an equal amount of tries is the winner. This game can also be played with jelly beans only. Choose a variety of the gourmet flavored jelly beans and have kids guess the flavor of each. You put your bunny foot in; you put your bunny foot out,You put your bunny foot in, and you shake it all about. You do the bunny pokey, and you hop yourself around, that’s what it’s all about! More commands:
Put your bunny ears in.Put your bunny tail in.Put your bunny nose in.Hop your whole bunny self in.
Players open their eyes and see if they were able to draw a bunny while blindfolded. The player that draws the best bunny then wins. The distance of the relay and the amount of eggs placed in the children’s arms will depend on the age of the players. You want to give them enough eggs to make it a challenge without being too overwhelming.
