17 Virtual Easter Games and Activities for Non-Stop Fun
So, you want to throw a virtual Easter party? Great idea! It’s basically like the usual Easter fun, but nobody has to wear pants. (Though, please remind Uncle Bob that cameras do have an upper view limit.)
Diving into a virtual Easter party means you can skip the fancy outfit and still have a blast with friends and family across the globe.
Welcome to your guide on how to bring Easter joy right into your living room (or home office), no real pants necessary.
What is a Virtual Easter Party?
A virtual Easter bash takes your fave Easter traditions online! I know that soundsstrange, but hear me out.
A couple years ago, my clumsy self led a virtual bingo game, and between my sad calling skills and everyone holding up eggs they “found” in silly spots, we laughed so hard.
Sure, decorating eggs via Zoom or hiding clues around your own house isn’t the same as typical hunts. But making merry despite the distance can be hilarious when you embrace the silliness.
We crafted some unconventional yet fun memories thanks to video chat creativity. So don’t knock the virtual Easter ideas just yet. Here’s some ideas to make your virtual easter an amazing one.
Exciting Easter Games to Play Virtually with Friends and Family
Thinking of doing some Easter fun online with the kids? Great idea! Mixing old traditions with new tech is the way to go. Let’s face it, the biggest adventure we’ve had lately is figuring out how to mute and unmute during video calls.
1. Virtual Easter Egg Hunt (How to Plan It)
Hosting a virtual Easter egg hunt is akin to convincing a cat to take a selfie—intimidating yet oddly satisfying. You’re basically dragging a cherished tradition into the digital era, marking a memorable moment in Zoom history or, at the very least, a notable group chat event.
- Pick Your Digital Playground: Zoom, Google Meet, or Facetime are my go-tos. Choose wisely, and keep your fingers crossed for stable connections.
- Craft Your Eggs: Forget real eggs (unless you’re in the mood for a biohazard). Design or snag some digital eggs online—legally, of course. Hide them in digital nooks and crannies like a website or a Google Slide Deck. The goal? Make your hunters question their life choices as they squint at their screens. Or you can go the physical route for a virtual egg hunt and hide eggs around your house for hunter to spot as you slowly pan your device around your home.
- Rally the Troops: Shoot out those invites like you’re launching a new meme. Include a “How to” on your chosen platform to save the less digitally inclined (here’s looking at you, Great-Aunt Carol who thinks “Facebook” is a new book genre).
- The Hunt: Get everyone online and explain the rules. Mute all to avoid the chaos of background life soundtracks.
- Prizes: Spice it up with rewards like e-gift cards or a virtual trophy. Anything to keep the competitive spirit alive.
- Post-Hunt Reflection: After everyone logs off, take a moment. You’ve just hosted a digital Easter egg hunt. Genius? Madness? It’s a fine line.
My Motto? Parties shouldn’t require a week’s worth of prep (or cleanup).
If your idea of party planning is more “wing it with style” than “schedule every second”, you’re my kind of people. Come for the laughs and good times, but stay for the goodies that make party planning a breeze (or at least less of a hurricane).

Choosing the Right Platform for Your Virtual Easter Egg Hunt
Throwing a virtual Easter egg hunt is pretty much trying to make the Easter Bunny tech-savvy overnight.
It’s a wild ride, but hey, we’re all about making those virtual Easter ideas come to life.
Choosing the right battlefield—oops, I mean platform—is half the battle. So let’s dive into the digital rabbit hole and pick the best spot for your eggs.
- Zoom (The Swiss Army Knife): Zoom is like that friend who’s always ready for anything. Planning to give a live tour of your egg-laden living room? Zoom’s screen sharing is your best friend. Want to split the fam into teams? Breakout rooms have got your back. Just hope your internet doesn’t decide to take a holiday.
- FaceTime (the Kiddie Pool): Simplicity is key with FaceTime. Great for the little ones or anyone who thinks “streaming” is something fish do. Seamless for Apple lovers, it’s all about tapping and going. Just remember, it’s an Apple-only party.
- Skype (The Old-School Cool): Skype’s been around the block. It’s like that vintage toy you can’t part with. Great for smaller gatherings where everyone appreciates a good “back in my day” story. Mobile app and screen sharing? Check and check.
Quick Tips for a Smooth Hunt:
- Test Drive: Don’t wait until Easter morning to figure out how Zoom works. Do a test call. You don’t want to discover that Aunt Betty’s camera is upside down when it’s go-time.
- Plan B: Have a backup plan. Technology loves to throw curveballs. If Zoom crashes, be ready to switch to Messenger Rooms faster than you can say “Easter egg.”
- Tech Support: Assign a tech-savvy family member as the go-to help desk. Because there’s always someone who can’t find the “unmute” button.
2. Bunny Hop Dance Battle via Zoom
Crank up the tunes and challenge your relatives to show off their best bunny-inspired dance moves on Zoom. Just make sure to move any breakables out of the way to avoid any “oops” moments.
| What’s Up | Cool Stuff | Not So Cool Stuff | Just a Heads Up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bunny Hop Dance Battle | – Aunt Marge’s legendary dance moves. – No bunnies harmed in the making of this dance. | – Living room turned into a disaster zone. – Dad’s “dance moves” are just hopping. | – Potential vase casualties. |
3. Sharing Spring Stories
Now’s the time to reminisce about past Easters and springs. Have that hilarious photo of Uncle Joe in a bunny suit? Share it and get ready for some hearty laughs. It’s all about reliving those moments that had everyone in stitches.
| What’s Up | Cool Stuff | Not So Cool Stuff | Just a Heads Up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharing Spring Stories | – Laughs over Uncle Joe in a bunny suit. – Bonding over nostalgia. | – “You had to be there” moments. – Some memories are better left in the past. | – Beware of accidental oversharing. |
4. Revamped Easter Bingo
Transform bingo by replacing traditional numbers with Easter-themed symbols and words. Eggs, flowers, and chocolate bunnies take center stage. Listen for the calls, mark your cards, and be the first to declare victory with a loud “Bingo!” through your microphone.
| What’s Up | Cool Stuff | Not So Cool Stuff | Just a Heads Up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revamped Easter Bingo | – Fun twist with eggs and bunnies. – The thrill of shouting “Bingo!” | – Mix-ups between similar-looking symbols. – Lost bingo cards. | – Grandma’s delayed victory claims. |

| Postal Easter Basket Exchange | – Surprise mail goodies. – Opening gifts together. | – The wait due to postal delays. – Missing chocolates confessed too late. | – Packages might take a detour. |
Creative Twists for Your Virtual Gathering

Keep a balanced agenda of activities to maintain high spirits and engagement throughout the party.
Creative Easter Ideas for Virtual Team Building
Who said remote work couldn’t be festive? Certainly not the Easter Bunny, who’s gone digital this year. So, let’s dive into some not-so-serious but absolutely essential ways to sprinkle some virtual Easter magic onto your team.
8. Virtual Easter Scavenger Hunt: Team Building That’s Full of Surprises
You’re sitting in your home office, coffee in hand, when suddenly you’re on a quest for the Holy Grail of remote work—a virtual Easter egg.

9. Easter Egg Decorating Competition: Unleash the Creativity
Welcome to the virtual Easter egg decorating competition, where the only limit is your creativity (and perhaps your digital drawing skills).
It’s all about creating the most eye-catching, jaw-dropping, screen-sharing-worthy Easter egg. And let’s be honest, some of us can barely draw a stick figure on paper, let alone a masterpiece on a digital egg.
Pick outrageous themes for each round—think “Easter egg in space” or “The Easter egg’s day out.”
10. Host a Virtual Easter Brunch: Connecting Teams Over Festive Foods
Nothing says team bonding like trying to enjoy a mimosa through a screen, right? Hosting a virtual Easter brunch is about pretending we can almost taste each other’s cooking.
It’s a time to share recipes, have a laugh over failed baking experiments, and, most importantly, enjoy a meal together, apart. Don’t forget to raise your glass to the webcam for that awkward “Cheers!”
My Motto? Parties shouldn’t require a week’s worth of prep (or cleanup).
If your idea of party planning is more “wing it with style” than “schedule every second”, you’re my kind of people. Come for the laughs and good times, but stay for the goodies that make party planning a breeze (or at least less of a hurricane).
11. Easter Icebreaker Questions
Because nothing breaks the ice like asking, “If you were an Easter Bunny, where would you hide your eggs?”
Most Easter icebreaker questions are designed to be more than just conversation starters.
They’re meant to make you giggle, ponder the mysteries of the Easter universe, and maybe, just maybe, learn something new about your colleagues.
Like who’s most likely to actually believe in the Easter Bunny.
| What’s Up | Cool Stuff | Not So Cool Stuff | Just a Heads Up |

| Easter Egg Decorating Competition | – Unleashes creativity with digital tools – Fun themes like “Easter egg in space” | – Digital drawing skills required – Not everyone may feel artistically inclined | – Technical issues could hinder participation – Differences in digital art skill levels |

Virtual Easter Activities That Kids Will Love
Who said you need a backyard and real eggs for Easter fun? Not me! Welcome to Easter 2.0, where the only things you need are a screen and a bit of imagination (and maybe a bit of patience for when the WiFi decides to take a nap).
12. Easter Crafts
Gather all the crayons, glue sticks, and more toilet paper rolls than you ever thought you’d save, and get ready for a crafting bonanza. It’s like an art class where the only rule is to make as much mess as possible because, hey, you’re not cleaning up everyone’s house.
- Egg-cellent Art Show: Once the masterpieces are complete, have each kid present their artwork. After all, what could be better than a gallery opening in pajamas.
- Crafty Competition: Add a bit of spice with a friendly competition. Categories can include “Most Colorful,” “Best Use of Glitter,” and “What Is That Supposed to Be?”
13. Easter Charades (Virtually)
Prepared to a lot of trying to act out “chocolate bunny” or “Easter church service, while a bunch of kids are either wildly guessing “dog!” or “my teacher on a Monday!” It’s the perfect mix of chaos and laughter.
Let each kid have a turn, too. Send each one a private message with three topics, they’ll choose and then get ready to put on the performance of a lifetime.
- Team Play: Split into teams for a bit of competitive edge. Just remember, no scorekeeping disputes, because, in virtual charades, everyone’s a winner (or so you’ll tell them).
- Charade Chain: Each successful guess leads to the next person acting out their word, creating a hilarious and unpredictable chain of Easter-themed mimes.

14. Easter Scavenger Hunt (Indoors)
Who said you need a garden to have an Easter scavenger hunt? Turn your house into an Easter wonderland, minus the muddy footprints.
List off common (or Easter-themed) household items and send everyone scrambling. First one back with a spoon, a plant, and a photo of the Easter Bunny (interpretation welcome) wins that particular round.
Watch as chaos ensues and at least one person gets lost on the way back to their computer.
Here’s a list of things you can have them find in the house or outside in their own yard. Set a time limit and let the hunt begin:
- stuffed bunny
- an Easter card
- an Easter cookie
- Cadbury egg
- a comb
- a pair of pink socks
- flower (daffodils, tulips, etc)
- something that makes you smile
- a list of what they’re going to have for Easter dinner
- a fancy outfit
15. Virtual Easter Dance Party
Turning your living room into a dance floor where bunny ears are the hottest accessory and giggles fill the air.
Dancing to “Here Comes Peter Cottontail” or the “Bluey Easter Freeze Dance” might not be your typical party jam, but when you see the joy on their faces as they hop around without a care, it’s all worth it.
Create a playlist of fun Easter songs beforehand to keep the party hopping and avoid any awkward silences or tech issues. Or have the kids from each household suggest a fun song for the Easter dance party and use those suggestions to make a fun playlist.
16. Virtual Directed Drawings
Who says you need to be a pro to have fun with art? Dive into virtual drawing sessions that promise laughter and creativity, especially when the Easter bunny drawings come out looking more quirky than cute.
It’s about the process, not perfection, and the kids will love seeing their creations come to life. Art for Kids Hub has tons of Easter-themed directed drawings that your kids’ll love.
All the kids need to have extra white paper and markers to participate.
17. Watch Animal Webcams: A Virtual “Awww” Moment
End your Easter celebration with a heartwarming peek at baby animals online. It’s great experience made significantly better because you’re in comfy clothes.
Watching those baby chicks, cheetahs, elephants, and bunnies will have the kids oohing, aahing, and dreaming of farm adventures.
