Using the two long pieces of dough, form a loosely braidedring, leaving spaces for the five colored eggs.

EASTER GAMES

EASTER EGG TOSS

This is best done outside.Pair off the kids facing each other. The object of the game is to have the kids
toss an egg back and forth, moving farther away from each other after each toss. The first one to drop the egg is disqualified. The winning team would receive a prize For younger kids you can use plastic eggs or even hard-boiled eggs. For older kids, use fresh eggs. This can be hilarious but rather messy so be sure the kids are properly dressed for the occasion.

GOLDEN EASTER EGG HUNT

Have the kids decorate their own Easter baskets, each using a different color. They are then told that the eggs they will be looking for must be the samecolor as their baskets (they aren't to touch the other colors). This makesit easier for smaller children as the eggs can be out in plain view where the older the kids the harder they have to search for their Easter eggs. You canalso hide one (or more) gold egg which contains a special prize. The prize canbe anything you'd like (place money inside the egg or they can redeem the golden egg for a special prize).
