Better than Eggs!

Make

Easter Egg Family Design

Using an Easter egg with this template or making your own, one person starts drawing/decorating. After 30 seconds someone else decorates until everyone has a turn and the design is complete. You can do it again by taking turns with the order. 

Play

Hide and seek

Traditional – Try the traditional way of one person hiding and then seeking the others, or maybe try these different varieties:

Team up version – This is another way that the standard game is often played. You start the same way, with one person counting and the others hiding. The only difference is that when the ‘seeker’ finds a child, they both now team up to find the rest. The major tactical difference in this game is when you are hiding you don’t want anyone else that is a hider to see where you have chosen.

Sardines – This is like ‘hide and seek’ in reverse. Just one child is hiding in this game, and all the others are seeking. That child hides whilst the others count with their eyes closed. Then the children all scatter, searching for the child that is hiding. If one child finds the person hiding, then they join them in their hiding position. When the next person finds the two hiders together, they also join them. Continue like this. In the end you will have pretty much everyone lying or sitting next to each other, squashed up like sardines in a can.
