Games with paints
1. The guys lay out the eggs they brought on the table and cover them with hats. There are also hats on the table with nothing under them. Then the hats are moved along the table. One of the participants in the game is in another room at this time. They call him and ask: “Where are you floating the coki?” The driver, and if there are dyes there, takes them for himself. The game continues until all the colors are taken apart. Whoever is luckier has the most eggs
2. Egg rolling. This game was arranged like this: they installed a wooden or cardboard “skating rink” and cleared a flat area around it, on which they laid out colored eggs, toys, and simple souvenirs. The playing children approached the “skating rink” one by one and each rolled their own egg. The prize was the object that the egg touched.
3. The children who gathered for Easter loved to look for eggs in the apartment or in the garden. One of the elders hid cardboard, paper or plastic eggs with surprises in advance. To get a surprise, you had to find the egg. If there were a lot of children, they were divided into “teams”, and each team tried to win by finding as many eggs as possible in the allotted time.
4. They compete to see whose egg will spin the longest. On command, the children simultaneously spin their paints. Whose egg spins the longest is the winner, he takes the loser's egg.
5. The players sit next to the walls of the room opposite each other and roll paints. Krashenki collide. Whose egg breaks, he gives it to his opponent.
7. Paint fight. The players shout: “One, two, three! My egg, get stronger! Ready for battle!” Players hit paints with any side, usually sharp. Whose egg breaks or cracks is the loser.
Directions: These games can be played anywhere. The older the children, the more complex options they can be offered. You can play with two people, but with more they are more interesting.
Among the favorite spring pastimes in the old days and today are games, competitions (with jumping rope, with pebbles, with a ball), hide and seek games, riddle games, trap games, round dance games with choice.
1) Competition for the most unusual, beautiful egg.
Offer children boiled, blown or plastic eggs, food and inorganic dyes, leaves and blades of grass, stickers, etc. everything that (you think) will help children fulfill their creative ideas. On this day, let the children give their egg to whomever they want and say the words “Christ is risen.” Thus, they will learn one of the Easter rituals.
2) In the old days, men, girls and boys had as much fun as they could with colored eggs. Two people each take one egg and hit it with the sharp ends. Whoever breaks it loses, and the winner gets a point. Of all the couples, who will be the winner? An alternative to hitting eggs is to roll them along grooves on an incline. The principle of the game is the same.
3) "Search for Easter eggs."
Hide the eggs in one of the rooms of the house or in the yard. Divide the children into 2 teams. Notes in which you indicate (allegorically) the place where the next egg is hidden will help children look for eggs. In total, the team needs to collect, for example, 4 eggs. This means there should be 4 clue notes, each of which is revealed with a newly found egg. Which team will be smarter and faster?
4) Relay race "Easter table".
2 teams are participating. Depending on the number of participants, determine and come up with stages of the relay. For example.
1st stage
The first participant runs to the table (5-6 meters away). He needs to peel the egg, boiled for Easter and painted, eat it (put salt, warm tea so that he can wash it down), put the shell in Matchbox, close it and come back with it.
2nd stage
The second participant, having reached the table, must carefully cut the Easter cake and place it in pieces on a plate.
Stage 3
The third participant prepares Easter from the proposed set of products: cottage cheese, butter, raisins, cream.
Stage 4
The fourth participant is given a spoon and an egg. He should roll up to" Easter table"spoon an egg along the paper path. And the fifth participant must roll the egg with his nose.. You can continue the number of stages of the relay yourself.
After the competitions, invite the children to the festive table, do not forget to prepare sweets for the kids in addition to Easter dishes. And after a light snack, you can offer children the game of pebbles, which was very popular in Russia at one time. (This game is not so active, but very exciting and useful, develops attention, resourcefulness, and develops dexterity of hands and fingers). To play the game, children use a special lot to decide who will throw pebbles after whom: the players take 5 pebbles, slightly throw them up, turn their hands palms down and try to catch them on the back of their hands. Whoever has the most pebbles on his hand starts the game. Then the participants sit in a circle at the table, each with their own stones. The place where the game takes place is called the kon. The line of players is set in a circle.
Heat
The player takes five pebbles in his hand, throws one of them up, and scatters four on the table. He catches a thrown pebble and throws it up again. While he is flying in the air, you need to have time to touch one of the pebbles lying on the table. If several pebbles lie together, you can touch them all at the same time and have time to catch the falling pebble. The pebbles touched by the player are put aside.
Verts
The same game, but the scattered pebbles need to be turned over or moved from their place.
Breast
Children take five pebbles in their hands, throw one up, and place four on the table with their chests and catch the thrown pebble with the same hand. The pebble is thrown up again, the four pebbles lying on the table are quickly taken and the thrown one is caught. The game ends when all players complete the task.
On the hem The player scatters four pebbles on the table and throws the fifth one up. Before catching a thrown pebble, you need to have time to take one pebble from the table and put it on your knees, the hem of your dress. The game is repeated until the players pick up all the pebbles and place them on their laps.
Barter
The player scatters four pebbles on the table, and throws the fifth one upward. You need to quickly take one of the lying pebbles and have time to catch the thrown one. One of the two pebbles is thrown up again, and the second is quickly placed on the table; Instead, you need to take the next one and catch the thrown one. The game continues until the players exchange all the pebbles.
Loner
The child takes five pebbles in his hand. One of them is thrown up, and four are scattered on the table. He catches the thrown pebble and throws it up again, quickly takes one pebble from the table and catches the thrown one. The game is repeated until all the pebbles are collected from the table.
Even and odd
One of the players takes a handful of pebbles, throws them up and, turning his hand palm down, catches the pebble on the back of one hand. Covering the caught pebbles with his other hand, he asks the players: “Even or odd?” Whoever guessed wrong pays forfeit. The one who gave all his forfeits leaves the game.
Scratches
To play you need 40 pebbles. All the pebbles, except one, are placed on the line. The first player throws one pebble and, before catching it, quickly takes as many pebbles from the horse as he can and catches the thrown one. Having caught it, the player puts all the pebbles aside except one, throws one pebble again and, while it flies, again takes pebbles from the horse. If the player does not catch the stone thrown upward, the second player starts the game. Whoever picks up the most pebbles is considered the winner
This is a simple competition as a warm-up for the brain. Whoever remembers and gives the answer the fastest wins a prize. The questions are: eggs with their own designs? (paintings); eggs in the same color? (colors); eggs painted using a special technology? (pysanky); eggs with a plain background and spots or stripes? (speckles); painted eggs with a scratched pattern? (rags); decorative eggs made of wood, for example, or beads? (eggs).
Easter Quiz
The competition is quite simple and does not require special effort from guests. The presenter asks questions, and whoever is the first from the audience to raise their hand answers. If the answer is correct, the participant earns his point. At the end, you can select 3 prizes, for example, with certain awards. Questions may be of the following nature: bread kvass, distributed in Orthodox Church, and they say that if you drink it on an empty stomach, you can get rid of all diseases (artos); name a product or object that is made before Easter in Bulgaria, it is thrown out of the window during the holiday, and the one who picks up a fragment of this object will find happiness (pot); the word "Easter" comes from the Hebrew word meaning "passes by", from the Egyptian expression "bestows light" or from the Romans "unearthly joy" (from Hebrew); this is the name for the solemn ringing of bells at Easter (blagovest); and Easter cookies in Poland, and the name of the dance (mazurka) and so on.
Fight, don't be afraid
Guests are divided into pairs. The host asks riddles to each pair, and whoever guesses first gets the right to be the first to beat the egg. Riddles can be very different, depending on the age and circle of guests, for example: the sun is shining brightly and birds are singing around, everyone has red... (testicles) on the table today; painstaking work before the holiday in the oven to bake delicious and rich miracles - ... (Easter cakes); Everything in the house is clean, but my soul is joyful, like in a fairy tale, because everyone is prepared for... (Easter) and so on. Then, in pairs, the participant who first guessed the riddle beats his partner’s egg. Whoever's egg remains intact has the right to make a wish, which the guest grants, with a broken egg.
Fun rides
In this competition, children will simply have fun, and adults can resort to knowledge of physics and mathematics, calculating the trajectory and speed. The participants' task is to roll their egg down a slide, which can be used as a board, or to make a special slide out of plastic. Whose egg stops the farthest wins. For general interest, multiple winners may be selected.
Each of the guests takes turns writing on a common sheet 3 words that he associates with today, for example, holiday, joy, eggs, and so on. Then the presenter announces that it is the turn to write a story or sing a song, that is, each of the guests, only in reverse order from the beginning of the sheet (from the first words), must make up sentences from which the Easter story will be built. At the request of the guests, you can make up not a story, but sing a song, whoever is good at what, in general.
Delicious Easter cake
For this competition it is necessary to prepare several small Easter cakes that the participants will eat. You need to be the fastest to eat your cake without using your hands. The most dexterous and fastest one wins a prize.
This is an interesting and fun fortune telling, a competition for the most interesting and fun future. But before the start, the host does not say anything to the guests. The task of each participant is to take turns going outside and name 3 objects they saw. When all the guests are outside, everyone stands up in turn and names their objects, for example, grass, sun, puddle. And the host turns on his imagination and talks about what awaits the guests in the future. For example, grass - great luck and green light awaits you in any endeavor, the sun, you will shine like the sun, warming everyone with its warmth, a puddle - you saw it, which means you have been warned, and no one can put you in a puddle.
Fun coloring pages
For this competition you will need eggs (wooden, chicken, paper, etc.), paints and brushes. Behind certain time Each of the guests must decorate their egg in their own way, while trying to do it very beautifully and better than the others. The best decorated Easter egg (maybe several) is chosen by voting, for which guests receive their prizes.
Easter is one of the oldest Christian holidays, which is celebrated with family and closest relatives. Preparation for the holiday has always been accompanied by special care and scrupulousness.

Easter - Holy Resurrection of Christ. This main event in the spiritual life of Christians was called the Feast of Feasts, the King of Days. We prepared for it for 7 weeks - 49 days. And the week before Easter was called Great, or Passionate. Maundy Thursday- the day of spiritual cleansing, receiving the sacrament of communion. Good Friday is a reminder of the suffering of Jesus Christ, a day of sadness. Holy Saturday is a day of waiting; the Gospel of the Resurrection is already being read in church. Easter is the Sunday when we celebrate the Resurrection of the Savior
As people prepare for Easter, they are filled with joy and faith. WITH Maundy Thursday The favorite activity begins - coloring and painting eggs. Did you know that eggs painted in one color were called dyed eggs; if spots, stripes, or specks of a different color were indicated on a general colored background, these were specks. There were also pysanky - eggs painted by hand with plot or ornamental patterns. A lot of meaning was put into simple patterns. Wavy lines are seas-oceans. The circle is a bright sun. According to tradition, ready-made krashenki and pysanky were placed on fresh sprouted oats, wheat, and sometimes on soft green lettuce leaves, which were specially grown for the holiday. Juicy greens and bright colors Easter eggs created a festive mood.
The closest relatives gather for Easter breakfast. The owner approaches the guests with wishes and the words “Christ is risen!”, and then kisses everyone. You should answer like this: “Truly risen!” The sacred egg is cut into as many pieces as there are persons present. A candle burns on the table as a reminder of the brightness of this day. You should definitely start your Easter breakfast with Easter cake. Even crumbs of this bread that fall on the floor should under no circumstances be thrown away. The holiday lasts throughout Bright Week
Competition "Easter food"
From the given set of products, children prepare decorations for the Easter table (boiled eggs; fresh apples, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots; parsley, dill; canned green pea, corn).

EASTER GAMES AT THE FEAST TABLE
WHAT WILL WE PUT IN THE KULICH
A “yes” or “no” game is a great way to warm up. Good game for children to test their knowledge of what Easter cakes are made of. They loudly shout “Yes!” if they think that this ingredient can be put in Easter cake. If it’s impossible, then they shout “No!” even louder:
I put cinnamon in the cake,
Honey will flow there too,
Vanillin powder
and a big bag of oats,
I'll pour some cucumbers.
And here is my grandmother
I poured flour there,
The eggs will be at the top.
Easter cake needs water,
They always put rum there
And also raisins, candied fruits,
Nails, hammers, shovels,
Cottage cheese, butter, yogurt,
And also our prayer,
Salt and sugar and cement.
And the cake is ready in no time!
SPIN THE EGG
Competitions can be held both between children and adults. On command, children or adults simultaneously spin their painted Easter eggs. And we look... Whose Easter Egg spins longer, he becomes the winner and receives a small prize.
BEATING EGGS
A very simple, but familiar and beloved game from our childhood. Goals of the game: keep your Easter egg intact for as long as possible in egg battles.
The broken egg is given to the winner to eat. The winning teams fight among themselves. The main winner is the one who was able to keep his Easter egg intact until the end of the game.
IN WHICH HAND
Also a very simple and familiar game. The first player hides his Easter egg and the second player's Easter egg in his hands behind his back. Certainly. Easter eggs should vary in color or pattern.
The second player needs to guess which hand the first player has his Easter Egg in. If he guesses correctly, he takes both Easter eggs, if not, he gives away his Easter egg.
BROKEN PHONE
A well-known children's game. You can play it without leaving festive table. Considering that we are celebrating the Holy Holiday of Easter, we will make words on the appropriate theme that characterizes the history or traditions of Easter.
The presenter thinks of a word, quickly and barely audibly pronounces it in the ear of the first player, this player passes the word he heard to the next one, and so on until the turn reaches the last player.
The last player loudly says the word that came to him, and the leader calls the original word. The result is simply stunning.
RIDDLE GAME “GET TO THE PRIZE”
For this game, a prize is prepared in advance, which is wrapped in several layers of paper (for example, 10 or 15). On each layer of paper you need to write a riddle that matches the theme.
A mysterious prize is awarded to the first participant. The player unwraps the first “clothes” and “silently” reads the written riddle. If the player knows the answer, then he names it and continues his research further, unfolding the next “clothes”. And so on, how many “clothes” the prize has, so many answers he must name.
If the player does not know the answer to the next riddle, then he reads it out loud; whoever finds the correct answer faster will continue the game.
Only the winner will be able to reach the “prize”. Having unfolded the last paper layer, he receives his rightful “prize” - an Easter gift, and what kind of gift it will be - you will come up with it yourself.

The Easter egg rolling game has always been a favorite game in Holy holiday Easter in Rus'. Especially for this game, adults made an Easter slide with sides on which Easter eggs were rolled.
A slide or “groove” can be built from wood or cardboard, and to make it inclined, make a stand on one side of the slide. The slide is installed on a flat, preferably smooth, surface.
Each player is given a painted Easter egg with which he will take part in the game. The participants in the game approached the slide one by one and each rolled up their own Easter egg. The one whose Easter egg rolls the furthest wins.
“Prize” EGG ROLLING
Just like the Egg Roll game, a slide or chute is used along which players take turns rolling their Easter eggs. Only around the slide, on a flat, empty surface, were painted eggs, small souvenirs or toys laid out.
Participants in the game took turns approaching the slide, aimed at the desired prize (turning the slide so that the egg rolled towards the “prize”) and rolled their Easter egg down the slide.
The player's "prize" was the souvenir that touched his Easter egg. The trajectory of the eggs rolling down is set by the player by turning the slide.
EASTER CATCHER
One of the players is selected to be the “catcher”. He sits at a distance of 4-5 meters facing the rest of the players. In his hands he has a plastic cup or cup with which he must catch an Easter egg.
In the hands of the other players are strings with Easter eggs attached to the ends. The Easter eggs themselves are placed not far from the “catcher”.
The “catcher” counts down three and tries to catch one of the Easter eggs while other participants in the game pull their strings.
The player whose Easter egg the “catcher” caught is eliminated from the game.

EASTER TREASURE

In this case, the first note shows the child where the second note is hidden, the second one directs him to the third note, etc. The last note tells you where the Easter Treasure is.
You can also use puzzles, riddles or small tasks in your notes. The answer to each rebus or riddle must contain the place where the next note is hidden.
EASTER DANCE
Players place their caps on their heads and make a hole in the top into which they place their Easter egg. In the center of the room, chairs are placed in a circle, the number of which is 1 less than the number of players.
All participants in the game begin to dance to the music, trying not to drop the egg from their heads. The host suddenly turns off the music, the task of the participants is to have time to take a chair without losing their Easter egg.
Whoever lacks a chair or who drops an egg is out of the game. Music sounds again, and the number of chairs is 1 less than those dancing... And so on until one of the players wins.
EASTER OUTDOOR GAMES
REACH THE EGG
This game requires a large space, so it is best played on the street, lawn or clearing. The first player takes a certain place, from which he should not move yet, and observes. The second player at this time moves away to a distance of 15-20 steps and places the egg on the ground.
The first player, watching the actions of the second, tries to approximately determine the distance to the Easter egg and estimate how many steps it will take him to cover this distance. Then he is blindfolded and, blindfolded, he must walk to the Easter egg, guided by his preliminary calculation of the steps.
When the required distance has been covered, the blindfold is removed and the player needs to reach the egg. At the same time, you cannot move from your spot, take steps to the side, lean your hands on the ground or lie down. If the player reaches, the egg is his; if he couldn’t reach, he gives away his Easter egg.
EASTER RELAY
All participants in the game are divided into 2 teams. The essence of the game, as in any relay race, is that the players must run to the finish line and return back, passing the baton to the next player. Only as a relay baton we use the spoon in which the Easter egg is placed.
You can diversify and complicate the game by holding the spoon in your mouth rather than in your hands.
All team members must take turns running with the egg in a spoon to the finish line and back, trying not to drop or break the Easter egg.
The winner is the team that completes the task faster and with the least losses, with fewer eggs falling to the ground.
EASTER CURLING
To play, you need to draw a circle with an egg in the center. It is better if this egg is different from other Easter eggs, for example, you can take a simple white hard-boiled egg.
Players are given Easter eggs in equal quantities, but different color, i.e. every player has balls a certain color or coloring books.
Now players from the same distance try to roll their Easter egg as close as possible to white egg in the center, while trying not to touch him with your egg.
The winner is the one whose Easter egg is closest to white.
We hope that we will help make this bright holiday special for you and your family - kind, unforgettable, and equally exciting not only for kids, but also for adults.
