You’ve Been Egged! An Easter Activity
Easter is a wonderful time to spread a little cheer, and the perfect time to say “You’ve Been Egged!” It’s a fun activity and Easter tradition to do with family or friends.
My kids absolutely love surprising friends and neighbors by leaving treats on the doorstep, ringing the doorbell, and running as fast as they can to get away before the door opens. We do it throughout the year just for fun, but it’s also a part of some of our favorite holiday traditions, like Halloween (You’ve Been Booed) and Easter.
It’s so fun and simple to put together, and you’ll not only be touching others’ lives, but making family memories. It’s one of the ways our family can focus on and celebrate the meaning of Easter. We love to do it for a Family Night (Monday nights at our house) in the weeks before Easter, and do a few different families.
Table of contents
Supplies
- 12 plastic eggs
- candy or other small gifts
- ribbon or twine
- pail or bucket (optional)
- printable tag (download below)
Directions
Fill the 12 eggs with candy or other small gifts. We like to leave one empty, to represent the empty tomb of Jesus, as a simple reminder that He is risen.
Very quietly (this is the time to be sneaky!), hide the eggs in someone’s yard, then tie the printable tag on to the front door. I like to leave a pail or basket for them to gather the eggs in, but that’s totally optional.
Download printables
Three different tags are included in this free printable–all for slightly different needs. Download tag, then print on to white cardstock. Punch a hole in the top, and loop ribbon through the hole. You can tie it on to the doorknob of the home, leave it in a basket with goodies, or tape it on a window or door.
