19 Easter Minute to Win It Games for the Whole Family
Once the Easter egg hunt is over, kids usually have a ton of energy and nowhere to put it. Instead of letting the sugar rush take over, engage them and your whole family into some fun minute to win it games.
The reason why I simply love minute to win it games is because they are fast and require supplies you probably already in your kitchen or your kid’s Easter basket.
This list has 19 Easter game ideas your whole family can participate and infuse some friendly competition.

1. The Great Egg Stack
The Game: Give each player a pile of plastic egg halves, who then would have 60 seconds to see how many egg halves they can stack on top of each other.
Because the edges are curved, the tower gets wobbly fast, usually ending in a big crash.
Supplies needed: A timer and plastic egg halves. If you want to mark a “starting zone” for each player, you can tape down the cutest bunny paws from my Easter Bunny Printable post, as a colorful base for their tower.

To make it harder for older kids, you can assign different point values to each basket.
