Introduction

It's almost time for Easter and that means it's once again a time to organize a party for you and your friends to enjoy. Below you'll find a couple of ideas which you can use and change at your own will to ensure that you and your friends have one of the most amazing and fun times ever. But first, a little more about Easter.

Easter is a celebration of those few days of Jesus Christ's crucifixion and his resurrection, the latter falling on Easter Sunday and the former on Good Friday. But did you know that Easter spans a far longer period than three days? In the old days the Easter season, also known as 'Easter tide', spanned forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day. Nowadays, however, it lasts for ten more days until Pentecost.

But there is a little more to Easter than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter falls on what is known as the "vernal equinox", which is that time of year in Spring (near March 21st) when night and day has the same length. Now in ancient cultures, this meant a time of happiness as the warmer seasons drew closer. As such, they established a couple of symbols for this time of year, many of which had been incorporated into Easter celebrations. Here are a couple of examples:

Easter Eggs & Newborn Chicks: Where the egg symbolizes the promise of new life (and also the tomb from which Jesus Christ emerged, the newborn chicks are that new life, just like blossoms in Spring.

Easter Bunny: Many ancient cultures saw the rabbit as a symbol of fertility.

Easter Clothes: Has anyone ever asked you to wear your newest and best clothes at Easter? New clothes and Easter hats symbolizes new life.

Paper Mache Easter Egg Invitation

For this invitation you'll need the following things:

• Paper Mache Mixture (enough for an invitation egg for as many people as you want to invite).

• Balloons – one for each of the people you want to invite.

• Paint – To decorate the egg with.

Now, when you have all the ingredients, inflate the balloons to an appropriate size – as large as you want your eggs to be. When that's done, simply use the mache to cover the balloon, taking care to maintain the easter egg shape. For the purposes of your egg's integrity, you'll want to ensure that you apply a number of layers of paper mache. Once you are satisfied, place them in a warm place to dry.

Now, using the paint, decorate the dried eggs with Easter patterns of your choice. If you can't think of any Easter patterns, simply have a look on the internet for some ideas. Once your egg is decorated and the paint has dried, use a fine-tipped paintbrush and some golden paint to add the details of your party.

Easter Party Dress Code

As said before, Easter is that time of year celebrating everything new. And as such, tradition dictates that Easter attire also be new. However, you might want to consider what your party activities will be. If you and your friends are planning on playing outside where clothes can get spoiled or torn, then it might be a good idea to state “Casual” on your invitations. Otherwise, if you intend to be well behaved, simply stating “Appropriate to Easter” will suffice.

Easter Party Activities

Below you will find some activities for your Easter party. You may use and change these ideas to suit the theme of your party. And just in case you need any of the items required to make the game work, be sure to ask your parents to help you get them from the appropriate store in your area. Other than that, remember to put safety first.

Easter Egg Treasure Hunt

What would Easter be without a hunt for hidden eggs? For this activity you'll need quite a number of small Easter eggs (maybe chocolate) as well as a big Easter egg or even an Easter bunny (or any other 'treasure' worth hunting for).

Now, ask your parents to hide the biggest of the treasures where no one will be able to find it too easily. Using the small Easter eggs, they should lay one true trail to the big treasure and many false trails.

Finally, all kids should be divided into teams and go on a treasure hunt (remember, you're not allowed to know where the treasure is either!).

If your parents want to make things a bit more interesting, they could place trivia questions with each of the small eggs that have to be answered first before you're allowed to move on.

Easter Egg Basketball

If you've got a basketball hoop, then all you'll need for this game is a football or a rugby ball. For that added Easter touch, decorate the ball with some Easter colors and get ready to play Easter basketball!

Easter Egg Bowling

First off you'll need to make an Easter egg bowling ball for this activity. Use either a football, a rugby ball or a paper mache ball that you made yourself. Next, get your hands on about ten empty plastic soft drink bottles and fill them with sand. Once done, arrange them in a triangle and get ready for Easter egg bowling!

The Egg Thief

This is a fun activity that can be enjoyed by as many people as possible. For this activity all you'll need is an Easter egg (either one made of chocolate or even one made out of paper mache).

When everything's ready, get one of your friends to sit on a chair beneath which the Easter egg was placed and close their eyes. Now one of the other children should sneak up, steal the egg and return to his or her seat. Once the thief is part of the crowd again, everyone must say “Bunny! Bunny! Your egg is gone!”.

At this stage the bunny must turn around and has to guess who stole the egg.
