Easter Candy Games

These Easter candy games are great for classrooms, youth groups, and kids who are <squeaky> excited about the Easter bunny coming soon…you get the idea.

1. Easter Egg Candy Guessing Game

Supplies needed: 3 different-sized Easter eggs, enough of a hard candy that can fill up these 3 eggs

Here’s a fun candy guessing game for Easter: find three different-sized Easter eggs, and fill each to the brim with a hard candy.

Print out this free printable (just click here and it'll download immediately).

Kids can shake them while they try to guess how many pieces are inside.

Hint: to make this easier? Reveal what kind of candy is in each. To make it harder? Leave this information out (so they don’t know what size to gauge).

2. Jelly Bean Blind Taste Test

Supplies needed: 4 different jelly bean flavors, blindfolds for participants, printable scorecard (provided)

Who knows their Jelly Bean flavors the best?

Pick out 4 different flavored jelly beans (did you know that Jelly Belly actually sells “Belly Flops” periodically at Dollar Tree? If you can’t find them, then get a different brand).

Write down the order you want to put them in, and what the flavor is.

Print out this free printable (just click here and it'll download immediately).

And set up a fun event for your kids or a youth group.

Whoever guesses the most correctly, wins.

3. Fill the Easter Basket Game

Supplies needed: an Easter basket, a bunch of Easter candy, a homemade catapult (big popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and an empty bottle cap), and masking tape

Choose 4 or 5 different locations where you’ll put the Easter basket. Then, choose a central location for the catapult.

Give each player an Easter basket.

Then, see who makes it around to all of the locations by catapulting a candy into the Easter basket at each of the locations.

4. Easter Minute to Win It Games

I’ve got some really fun Minute-to-Win-It games using Easter supplies from Dollar Tree.

Games that kids have to complete in 60 seconds, like:

  • Jelly Bean Catapult Game
  • Kitchen Mitt Candy Color Sort
  • Jelly Bean Grass Hunt
  • …and many more

5. Peep Bounce Game

Supplies needed: one race car for each player, masking tape, ruler/measuring tape, and Peeps

package of bright yellow peeps, three race cars, masking tape, and a ruler

Peeps are squishy, brightly colored, and bouncy.

Which makes them great for this game!

Stand several Peeps against a wall.

Hint: this only works if you put their bottom up against the wall, and ram the car into the head area).

Then, set up a start line for kids to stay behind (with masking tape on the floor, or another way to mark it).

Let kids take turns sending their race car flying towards a Peep. The car will bounce off of it, and they can use a ruler/measuring tape to measure how far their “bounce” was.

The person who gets their car to bounce back the furthest wins.

Bring some fun and silliness into your Easter celebrations with these Easter candy games for kids and teens.
