Hunting for Easter thrills that’ll have your team hopping with excitement? 

Whether it’s a full-blown office fiesta or just a casual day with a festive twist, mixing in some unique games and activities can transform any gathering. 

And guess what? 

I’ve got a golden egg’s worth of ideas – 10 to be exact – perfect for both the office and the virtual world. 

Plus, I’ll sprinkle in some secret sauce on how to make your Easter bash unforgettable – and not have the staff quit because they hated everything.

Buckle up, office Easter game planners, it’s time to make some magic happen! 

Let’s roll!

Yes, there’s lots of ways that office staff can enjoy fun Easter games and activities like an office egg hunt, Easter movie event, egg decorating, Peeps games, Easter trivia, and chocolate tasting competitions – with variations to include remote workers. These activities are fun ways to celebrate the holiday and build team camaraderie.

1. Office-Wide Easter Egg Hunt for Employees

A-woman-expresses-disappointment-with-hands-on-cheeks-upon-finding-a-golden-egg-with-a-10%-office-supply-discount-during-an-office-Easter-scavenger-hunt,-suggesting-the-prize-was-less-exciting-than-hoped

Shake things up a bit with an office-wide Easter egg hunt that’s more than just a hunt—it’s a mini adventure right in your workplace (or in your digital workspace for the virtual crowd). 

This isn’t just about finding chocolate eggs hidden behind the photocopier.

Here’s how to make the exceptional happen without turning it into a wild goose chase:

  1. The Setup: Lock in the when and where. Circle a date on the calendar, pick a spot (real world or virtual), and let the anticipation build. If this caper is happening online, pick a platform that won’t make you want to throw your computer out the window.
  2. Crafty Clues: Whip up some clues that are clever enough to make Sherlock Holmes scratch his head but not so tough that people start eyeing the emergency exits.
  3. Team Spirit: Divide your egg hunters into teams to stir up some camaraderie. It’s like dodgeball but with less dodging and more team huddles. This bit of competition is sure to bring everyone closer, sparking high-fives and maybe even a group hug or two.
  4. Prize Patrol: Sure, finding eggs is its own reward, but let’s sweeten the pot. Line up some prizes that’ll have the winners gloating in the most gracious way possible. Think beyond the basket—maybe a lunch outing that doesn’t involve fast food, gift cards that don’t suck, or something unique that screams “you’re eggstra special.”

Tip

You want a low-pressure environment focused on creativity and participation over cutthroat competition.  You could give small token rewards or recognition moments to every team, not just the winners of each game – like “funniest group” or “most likely to take a nap after the games”. You want all staff walking away feeling acknowledged and happier after taking a shared fun break.

2. Easter Movie Night Event

Indulge in the delightfully cheesy charm of Easter Movie Night, where office colleagues gather for a does of a vintage movie and maybe even an accidental nap or two.

It’s a night of cinematic mediocrity at its finest, where the only thing more entertaining than the movies are the reactions of your coworkers.

Here’s a selection of movies that you might want to try:

  1. Hop (2011) – Animated comedy about the Easter Bunny’s son who doesn’t want to take over the family business.
  2. Here Comes Peter Cottontail (1971) – A classic animated Easter special featuring Peter Cottontail and other bunnies.
  3. Rise of the Guardians (2012) – Animated film where Jack Frost joins Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and others as Guardians.
  4. Easter Parade (1948) – Classic musical starring Fred Astaire and Judy Garland featuring Easter fashion.
  5. It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown (1974) – Peanuts gang searches and waits for the mythical Easter Beagle.

Spice Up Easter Movie Night By Playing Movie Bingo

  • Create bingo cards with Easter phrases or movie-related words you think might come up.
  • Hand the cards out before starting the movie and mark squares as you spot words or images from your card in the movie. The first person to get a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line of 5 marks calls out “Bingo!” to win a prize.
  • You can customize the cards with common lines, props, or other appropriate words and phrases.
  • Movie bingo encourages engagement and interaction as people watch the movie.
  • The person to get a 5-space line shouts “Bingo!” and wins! If no one gets Bingo, then give a prize to the person with the most spaces covered by the end of the movie.

5. Peeps Flinging Frenzy a.k.a Peeps Catapult

Ever looked at a marshmallow Peep and thought, “You, my sugary friend, are destined for flight”?

Peeps Flinging Frenzy is perfect for the engineer-at-heart, the crafty creator, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh.

And don’t worry—people who dont’ like the spotlight can always contribute your genius to catapult construction or be the official scorekeeper.

Objective: Send those Peeps flying into Easter baskets to rack up points. It’s all in the wrist (and a bit of physics).

Materials Needed:

  • craft sticks or popsicle sticks for making catapults
  • marshmallow Peeps candy
  • 3-4 Easter baskets, buckets, or containers for targets
  • sticky notes or index cards for labeling point values
  • marker for writing point values

Setup: Unleash your inner MacGyver with craft sticks or popsicle sticks to create the ultimate Peep-flinging catapult – or keep it simple. Arrange Easter baskets at various distances as your targets, marking them with sticky notes for point values—the further the basket, the sweeter the point haul.

Gameplay: Each player gets a turn to launch their Peep into orbit, aiming for the baskets to score big. After five rounds of high-flying action, tally up the scores to see who’s the Peep catapult champ.

Winning: The highest score takes the cake (or, in this case, the Peeps). But it’s not just about the points; it’s about the glory of the fling.

Making It Fun for All:

  • Inclusivity First: Remember, the goal is laughter and camaraderie. Offer roles for everyone, from catapult designer to enthusiastic cheerleader.
  • Prizes Galore: Don’t just celebrate the highest score—hand out awards for the “Most Creative Launcher,” the “Longest Distance Flung,” and even the “Peep With the Most Personality Mid-Air.”
  • Variety is the Spice of Life: Add some flair to the game with silly voices for each Peep launched, or create a dramatic backstory for your catapult (is it a medieval siege engine or a rocket from the future?).

6. Peep’s Adventure: The Ultimate Photo Quest

  • Encourage players to get creative with angles, compositions, and narratives, making each photo tell a unique story.
  • While the Peep should be the star of the show, participants are encouraged to jump into the frame for group selfies or to add human elements to the scenes.

warning

Here are 3 helpful tips for the chocolate tasting game:

  1. Take small bites and allow time to fully experience each chocolate’s flavors. Don’t rush through the samples too quick!
  2. Cleanse your palate between each chocolate with water or bread so the flavors don’t blend together.
  3. Note flavors that first hit your taste buds as well as secondary notes that emerge after a few seconds. Pay attention to textures too.

Hopping Into Easter: Is Your Team Ready to Spring Into Celebration?

A-skeptical-man-with-a-beard-in-a-business-suit-appears-unimpressed-during-a-meeting,-thinking-about-how-to-avoid-participating-in-office-Easter-games-and-activities-without-jeopardizing-his-chances-for-a-promotion

Before you dive headfirst into a basket of Easter planning, let’s do a quick bunny hop and make sure your team is actually on board with the idea of turning the office into an Easter wonderland.

It’s important to make sure the festivities aren’t just a reflection of your own holiday spirit but are genuinely anticipated and welcomed by everyone.

  • Pulse Check: Think of it as taking the office’s Easter pulse. A simple, friendly poll can reveal a lot—like who’s up for an egg hunt and who’d rather not partake. The aim here is not to egg anyone into festivities but to gather a bouquet of preferences.
  • Celebrate Diversity: Remember, not everyone has the same basket of feelings about Easter. Some might be all about finding that golden egg, while others may prefer to observe from the sidelines, and that’s perfectly okay.
  • Balance Is Key: Finding the sweet spot between too much and not enough Easter cheer is like perfecting your grandma’s famous hot cross buns recipe—it might take a bit of tweaking. Offer a variety of activities that cater to different levels of enthusiasm and participation. This way, everyone can find something that suits their taste.

When the Easter season rolls around, you’ll have a team that’s ready to either jump into the fun or cheer from the sidelines with a chocolate bunny in hand. 

Either way, you’re fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued.

Tip

Give employees who don’t want to partake in the Easter games and activities the option to opt-out.

Staff Survey Ideas

Sending out a simple Easter activities survey to your staff can provide useful insights to help plan a fun and inclusive celebration. Here’s some potential survey questions to include:

  • Are you interested in participating in Easter festivities organized by our office? Yes/No/Maybe
  • How likely are you to attend an in-office Easter celebration event? Very Likely – Somewhat Likely – Neutral – Somewhat Unlikely – Very Unlikely
  • If held virtually over video call, how likely are you to attend? Very Likely – Somewhat Likely – Neutral – Somewhat Unlikely – Very Unlikely
  • Rank which activities appeal to you most (1-5 stars): __ Easter Egg Hunt __ Easter Movie Night __ Easter Crafting Session __ Easter Trivia Game __ Other (fill in)
  • Should food be included? Yes/No If yes, list any food restrictions:
  • What days/times would work best for you to participate?
  • Any other suggestions for a fun office Easter celebration?

Gauging interest levels, availability, preferred activities and food restrictions in advance allows planning that best caters to your whole staff.

You’ll also discover which elements excite staff the most to focus efforts there.

I mean, why bother with the Peeps activities if everyone is totally into doing an office scavenger hunt, right?

Tip

Want full unfiltered honesty from your employees? Make the survey anonymous, so your employees feel free to express their opinions without feeling like it’ll get them into trouble.
