Easter is considered to be one of the most important Christian Holidays. The resurrection of Christ is celebrated all over the Christian world with slight difference in the date of celebration. But it is not so important when we celebrate the holiday of God, Love, Forgiveness and Good. We want to believe that God still cares for us and won’t leave us in peril. Unfortunately, not all Easter traditions are still being observed. Very often we forget what kind of holiday we celebrate – it is enough for us just to have another holiday. I wish we were not so ignorant and indifferent!
The most important thing is to explain our children the origin of this holiday and its major symbols and traditions. To make the holiday closer to hearts of your kids, there are some games ideas for them:
1. An egg decorating competition with boiled eggs! It may be even more interesting if you take part in this game! This is a fun game, however if there is to be a winner there is going to be a loser, kids do not like losing so have some extra treats to give those who were not chosen for first prize.

2. Egg Rolling is commonly popular at this time. You need hard boiled eggs and a spoon. You can either have the children roll the egg along the ground to the finishing line or have them balance the egg on the spoon.
3. Have a baking competition so as to speak, you the hostess bake sponge cakes and have the children decorate them. Place before them bowls of hundreds and thousands, jelly beans, cream, piped icing etc. This game will give so much pleasure to the Easter baker and eaters, (kids). Have a video camera to hand for all events so you can look back and enjoy every Easter moment.
4. Make sure to have different types of music, although we celebrate the resurrection of Christ - the kids may not see this quite as important for their party until older and may want to sing or dance to nursery rhymes like Humpty Dumpty as opposed to 5 little ducks (chicks) went out one day.
Remember that all you do or don’t do is reflected in your children. Do not neglect them and their upbringing – spend more time with your kids, have parties, holidays and games with them – especially in such a day – Easter.
Have a great holiday, enjoy yourself and give joy to people who are close to you!
