Kids love this game because they get to hop like a bunny! Parents love it because it gets kids moving around while they get to sit down and take a break. It's so simple to pull together too. If you have any big kids, you can even put them in charge of the game, like I did!
Here's what you need to play this Easter Movement Game:
- Printable Movement Cards
- White cardstock
- Prizes or candy
- Scissors
- Tape to stick cards to the floor
- Music
How do you do a candy (or prize) hop for Easter? This Easter movement game is so easy!
- Print out the movement game cards
- Tape them in a circle around whatever room you'll be playing in. Hardwood floor is easier than carpet.
- Cut up the calling cards (the smaller bunny pictures) so that you have small pictures of each of the colorful bunny cards.
- Turn on some music and tell kids to HOP around on the cards in a circle, all going the same direction.
- Stop the music and pick one of the small picture cards to show. Whoever is standing on that picture can go and choose a prize.
- Repeat until all kids have gotten a prize (or 2 or 3).
** Keep an eye out for kids who haven't gotten a prize yet and tweak the game a bit to make sure that everyone gets around the same amount of prizes/candy.
