Breakfast

Lunch

Games
Egg in Spoon Relay Race: Players are divided into two teams. Each team is divided into two groups, one at Point A, one at Point B. The first player is given an egg in a spoon to carry from Point A to Point B. At that point the egg and spoon are handed off to the next competitor, who carries it back to Point A to the next competitor. A dropped egg means that the person carrying the egg must go back to where they started from. The first team to complete the relay wins!
Egg Bowling: This game is played similarly to bocce or lawn bowling. It can be played indoors or out. Each player uses a colored boiled egg. A plain white boiled egg is used as the target. Players compete to see who can roll their egg closest to the white egg without touching it. The first person to win a certain number of rounds - usually five or ten - wins the game. Alternately, use a chocolate bunny as the target. The game winner gets the chocolate bunny!

The Easter Bunny
So what's up with the rabbit running around with eggs, anyway? And just what does it have to do with Easter?
Well, according to the University of Florida's Center for Children's Literature and Culture, the origin of the celebration - and the Easter Bunny - can be traced back to 13th century, pre-Christian Germany. The emphasis of the holiday changed in later years but continued with many of the same traditions.
Just as Spring symbolizes new life and rebirth, rabbits and eggs are a sign of fertility and birth.
Eventually, the tradition of making nests for the Easter Bunny's eggs turned to making baskets to keep the eggs and now, candy.
So fil your baskets high and enjoy this Easter!
