Games
Easter celebrations are never complete without the famous Easter egg hunt game.
This is just one example of an Easter game that families have enjoyed for decades.
The good thing with games is that they can be fun for the whole family.
One of the nice games to play as a family is bowling bunnies. You just need bunnies and a tiny tennis ball to play this game. Line up your bunnies - put some in front and some at the back. The rule is that you have to hit the bunnies with the tennis ball. The one who knocks over the most bunnies wins.
Another fun game is the bunny blind folder. This game is pretty simple - you just have to draw a bunny with your eyes blind-folded.
The last nice game you can play is the chocolate test game. The person who bought the chocolate cannot play the game, she or he can be the judge. How you play the game is simple. You give the same chocolate to all the participants and have them guess the flavour. The one who guesses the most flavours correctly wins.
