Easter is often a time seniors look forward to. From the church service to spending time with family, it can be very enjoyable. Beyond that, it can also be a time for fun with seniors. You can plan some games to bring more joy to your holiday celebration. This post will explore some fun Easter games for seniors.
Have Fun With These Easter Games for Seniors
Easter Egg Hunt
Easter egg hunts are a treasured childhood memory for many. But they aren’t just for kids! You just need to adapt this classic activity for older people. Instead of hiding eggs in challenging spots, consider arranging a cozy indoor or outdoor egg hunt. Use brightly colored eggs and fill them with treats or small surprises.
Egg and Spoon Race
Put a senior-friendly twist on the traditional egg and spoon race. Replace delicate eggs with lightweight, plastic eggs to minimize the mess. Seniors can participate in a slow-paced race, promoting balance and coordination.
Easter Bingo Bonanza
Gather seniors for an Easter-themed bingo session. Create bingo cards with Easter symbols such as bunnies, chicks, and decorated eggs. Bingo is already popular among seniors, so changing things with a holiday-themed twist can be nice.
Decorate Your Easter Bonnet
Organize an Easter bonnet decorating contest. Provide seniors with plain bonnets, ribbons, flowers, and other embellishments. Let their artistic talents shine as they design their personalized Easter bonnets.
Easter Memory Lane
Create a heartwarming Easter memory lane by encouraging seniors to share their favorite Easter memories. Through storytelling sessions, seniors can reminisce about childhood Easter celebrations or share family anecdotes.
Easter Trivia Challenge
Challenge seniors’ knowledge with an Easter-themed trivia game. Craft questions related to Easter traditions, history, and folklore.
Egg Toss Challenge
Organize a safe and gentle egg toss challenge for seniors. Instead of using real eggs, opt for soft, plush eggs or beanbags. Pair up participants and have them toss the eggs to each other at increasing distances.
Easter-Themed Pictionary
Bring out the artist in seniors with an Easter-themed game of Pictionary. Create a list of Easter-related words or phrases, and have participants take turns drawing clues for their teammates to guess.
Bottom Line
Let’s have more fun this Easter with these games. They can be great for seniors and people of all ages.
