Easter: games for the long weekend
Many families spend Easter with a mix of egg hunts, brunch and visits. Games fill the hours afterwards – especially when April weather spoils the walk and the kids still have energy to burn after all that chocolate.
- for 3–8 people
Children and grandparents often end up at the same table. The best games give both a chance: short duels, luck with the dice and guessing on the big screen.
Games that fit
Quiz Night
1–10 players5–10 minFor Easter, the “Nature & Animals” category in Quiz Night fits the season and is manageable for older kids. Anyone who can’t read quickly teams up with an adult.
Four in a Row
2 players3–10 minworks without a TVFour in a Row is the duel between grandchild and grandparent, where kids are often surprisingly good. A game only takes a few minutes.
Sketch Round
3–10 players10–20 minSketch Round fits because many of the words are animals kids love to draw – from rabbits to chicks. Guesses are typed, so it suits children who can already write.
Five Dice
1–6 players10–30 minworks without a TVFive Dice is the calm game after Easter brunch, when everyone sits at the table full. Roll, keep, fill in a box – every generation can manage that.
Corner Chaos
1–6 players3–5 minCorner Chaos is the outlet for the energy left over after the chocolate. Up to six race at once, with the track big on the TV.
How it can go
After the egg hunt
Corner Chaos for the kids, so the excitement has somewhere to go. The adults can race along or enjoy their coffee.
After brunch
Five Dice at the table and Four in a Row for two on the side. Both work without a TV.
Together at the screen
A Quiz Night with “Nature & Animals” and a Sketch Round to finish. This is where kids and grandparents really play together.
Tips
- If the grandparents are visiting, connect their phones to the Wi-Fi when they arrive, not when the game is about to start.
- For children who can’t read yet, Corner Chaos and Four in a Row are the safe choice.
- Keep Quiz Night short – ten questions are plenty for kids after a long holiday.
