Let’s get into the list of Minute to Win It Easter Games!
For each game, you’ll see a short list of supplies, set up or preparation instructions, and directions on how to play.
1.Easter egg match
Supplies:
Set up:
Put the Easter eggs together so the top half and the bottom half colors are mismatched and put them in a basket
How to play:
The player has to quickly pull apart the plastic Easter eggs and put them back together so all the eggs have a matching top and bottom half.
Once all the eggs are put together, the player has to put them back in the basket too.
The person to do this in the least amount of time is the winner, but anyone who does it in less than one minute is successful!
Group variation:
You can easily set up two or more baskets, each with 2 dozen mismatched eggs. Have players race against each other to put the eggs together correctly. The first person to put their eggs together correctly and put them back in the basket wins!
2. Easter Basket Egg Toss
Supplies:
- inexpensive Easter baskets
- 2 dozen plastic Easter eggs per partnership (this pack of 288 eggs should be everything you need!)
Set up:
Divide players into teams of 2 and give each team one inexpensive Easter basket and 2 dozen plastic Easter eggs.
Have one player from each team kneel on the ground in a shoulder to shoulder line and hold their Easter basket on their head. Their partners stand behind them with the Easter eggs.
How to play:
When the timer starts, the standing players try to toss the Easter eggs into their partner’s Easter basket. The team with the most Easter eggs in their basket at the end of a minute wins!
Age variation:
To make this Easter minute to win it game work for different ages, increase or decrease the distance between the kneeling and standing partners.
3. Peep Face
Supplies:
at least one marshmallow Peep per player, but extras are a good idea to have on hand!
Set up:
Give each player a marshmallow peep and tell them to tip their chins up and place the peep at the top of their forehead
How to play:
Players use only their face muscles, movement (and maybe a little gravity too!) to move their peep down their face and into their mouths. No hands allowed!
4. Suck it Up
Supplies:
- 1 paper straw per player
- 2 paper plates per player (I love these pastel striped ones!)
- lots of Easter M&Ms or jellybeans
Set up:
Give each player a paper straw and set 2 paper plates side by side on a table in front of him/her. Then pour a good amount of candy onto one of the paper plates.
How to play:
Using only their straws, players must transfer all of the candy from one paper plate to the other in one minute. The person who gets all of their candy moved over first (or gets the most in one minute) is the winner!
5. Easter egg roll
Supplies:
- 1 paper straw per player
- 1 weighted plastic egg per player
Preparation:
Put a penny in each plastic egg to add a little weight. While this isn’t 100% necessary, it does help the game to go better!
Set up:
Give each player a straw and a plastic Easter egg. Have players line up side by side at one end of a long table or countertop, or on the floor and place their egg in front to them. Designate a finish line.
How to play:
By blowing through the straw, players must move their egg across the table, counter or floor to the finish line. The person who gets his or her egg across the finish line first is the winner.
6. Easter egg stack
Supplies:
several dozen plastic Easter eggs
How to play:
Players need to pull apart the Easter eggs and stack them as high as they can in one minute. The player with the highest tower of eggs at the end of a minute wins!
7. Egg Relay
Supplies:
- plastic spoons
- plastic Easter eggs
Set up:
Give each player a plastic spoon. Next, have players pair into partnerships and give each team a plastic Easter egg. Have the partner with the Easter egg stand on one side of the room or yard from his or her partner. (It’s helpful to have all the partners with the eggs on one side, but not necessary).
How to play:
Players place the egg in their spoon and quickly walk, run, or shuffle over to their partner, being careful not to drop the Easter egg.
When they make it over to their partner, they need to carefully transfer the egg to their partner’s spoon.
The partner then walks or runs the egg back to the starting line where the first player began.
Variation:
To make this Easter minute to win it game more challenging, try this rule: If players drop their egg, they need to do something funny (like jumping jacks or the the chicken dance) before picking up their egg and putting it back on their spoon.
8. Fastest egg hunt ever
Supplies:
one or two dozen plastic Easter eggs
Preparation:
Hide the eggs around the room or yard.

- a small bowl or cup for each player
- two or more bags of jelly beans

Give each player a plastic spoon and bowl/cup and spread the jelly beans all over the middle of the table. Players put one hand behind their backs.
How to play:
Using only the spoon, players must scoop as many jelly beans as they can into their bowl or cup in one minute.
Remember – their other hand must stay behind their backs for the entire one-minute duration! The player who gets this most jellybeans in his or her cup wins.
