10 Easter Games and Activity Ideas for Your Community Association

Easter is a time for celebration, renewal, and fun! As an association, it's important to foster a sense of community among residents, and what better way to do that than through creative and fun Easter events? 

Here are some community Easter event ideas for your community association that are sure to bring everyone together.

1. Easter Egg Decorating Contest

Easter egg decorating is a time-honored tradition that people of all ages can enjoy. You can organize an Easter egg decorating contest for your community by providing boiled eggs and decorating materials such as paint, markers, stickers, and glitter. 

Participants can be encouraged to come up with their most creative and unique designs. The eggs can be displayed on a table, and community members can vote on their favorites. 

Prizes can be awarded to the winners, and all participants can take their decorated eggs home as souvenirs.

2. Easter Egg Toss

An Easter egg toss is a classic game that can be adapted for all ages. Pair up participants and give each pair a boiled egg. They stand a few feet apart and toss the egg back and forth. 

After each successful toss, participants take a step backward, making the toss more challenging. The pair that successfully tosses the egg the farthest distance without breaking it wins.

3. Easter Scavenger Hunt

An Easter scavenger hunt is a great way to get everyone outside and active. You can create a list of Easter-themed items for participants to find, such as a plastic egg, a bunny figurine, or a carrot-shaped cookie. 

The items can be hidden throughout the community, and participants can work together to find them. The first team or individual to find all the items can be awarded a prize.

4. Easter Basket Making

Easter baskets are a holiday staple, and a basket-making event can be a great way to get creative and make something special. 

You can provide baskets, grass, and other supplies, and participants can bring their own materials, such as eggs, candies, and small toys. The best baskets can be awarded prizes, and everyone can take their baskets home as a reminder of the event.

5. Easter Bingo

Bingo is a classic game that can be adapted for Easter by using Easter-themed bingo cards. You can create bingo cards with pictures of Easter eggs, bunnies, chicks, and other Easter-related items. The game can be played in a common area, and prizes can be awarded to the winners.

6. Easter Movie Night

An Easter movie night can be a great option if you're looking for a more relaxed and low-key event.  You can set up a screen and projector in a common area and play Easter-themed movies such as "Hop" or "Peter Rabbit." Community members can bring their own blankets and snacks, and everyone can enjoy a cozy night under the stars.

7. Easter Photo Booth

Set up an Easter-themed photo booth where residents can capture fun memories with friends and family. Decorate the booth with colorful backdrops, bunny ears, oversized eggs, and spring flowers. You can provide fun props like bunny ears, Easter bonnets, and funny signs for residents to pose with.

Consider hiring a photographer or setting up a camera with a timer so everyone can participate. You can even print out the photos on-site or share them in a community newsletter or online group.

8. Easter Potluck Brunch

A community Easter potluck brunch is a great way to bring neighbors together over delicious food. Encourage residents to bring their favorite brunch dishes, such as pancakes, quiches, fruit platters, and pastries. You can also provide a few Easter-themed treats like hot cross buns or carrot cake.

To add to the fun, consider setting up a small DIY mimosa or juice bar and some light entertainment like soft music or a short Easter-themed trivia game. This event allows everyone to contribute and enjoy a variety of flavors while fostering a sense of togetherness. Keep in mind, however, that there may be regulations around preparing and serving food. We recommend looking into the requirements in your area. 

9. Easter Parade

An Easter parade is a fun way to bring the community together in a festive celebration. Residents—especially children—can dress up in Easter-themed outfits, decorate wagons or bikes, and march through the neighborhood. Consider inviting a local marching band or having someone dress up as the Easter Bunny to lead the parade.

The parade can conclude at a common area where attendees can enjoy refreshments, music, and other activities. You can even award small prizes for the best-decorated bikes, most creative costumes, or most enthusiastic participants.

10. Easter Costume Contest

Encourage residents to showcase their creativity by dressing up in Easter-themed costumes. Participants can dress as bunnies, chicks, or even fun and quirky spring-themed characters. You can have different categories, such as Best Homemade Costume, Most Creative, and Best Group Costume.

Have a designated judging panel or let the community vote on their favorites. Prizes can be awarded for each category, making the event fun and engaging for all ages. You can even combine this with the Easter Parade for an extra festive experience!

Make This Easter One to Remember!

In conclusion, Easter is a great opportunity to bring your community together and celebrate the holiday with fun and creative events. These ideas are just a starting point, and you can modify them to fit your community's specific needs and interests. 

Whatever event you choose, prioritize safety and inclusivity and encourage everyone to have a great time. Organizing these events will create lasting memories and foster a sense of community among your residents. Happy Easter!
