    If you find yourself stuck inside on Easter, there are still so many ways to have fun! The traditional Easter Egg Hunt isn’t the only way to enjoy the holiday with your family. Check out some of the indoor Minute to Win It Easter Games we’ve been playing together and learn how Hatchimals CollEGGtibles are helping us take these family easter games to the next level!

    INDOOR MINUTE TO WIN IT EASTER GAMES

    I’ll admit that I have a ton of plastic Easter eggs laying around. I’ve had dreams for a few years of doing a neighborhood egg hunt with the kids that live in our cul-de-sac but it hasn’t worked out in a few years. 

    The kids still talk about the year we did get outside to hunt eggs and the Easter Egg Hunt Ideas we came up using Hatchimals CollEGGtibles. My daughter and the girls next door are big collectors so adding Hatchimals CollEGGtibles into the egg hunt mix made it even more fun for them!

    Hatchimals CollEGGtibles make any Easter activity more EGGCITING, whether you’re inside or outside!

    PLANNING FUN EASTER GAMES FOR KIDS

    Whether you’re planning an indoor egg hunt or trying out some minute to win it Easter games, I highly recommend adding Hatchimals CollEGGtibles into the egg mix. 

    We got a carton of the new Hatchimals CollEGGtibles Limmy Edish Glamfetti to spice things up this year. At the end of all the games, you get the added fun of hatching the in-egg characters.

    Each carton includes four out-of-egg characters and eight in-egg characters. Some of the characters have translucent confetti-filled tummies and some are covered in color confetti graphics! They’ll add some sparkle to Easter and our Hatchimals CollEGGtibles collection.

    Hatchimals CollEGGtibles also offer more of a challenge when playing minute to win it Easter games because they’re smaller than most plastic Easter eggs. That means these games are great Easter activities for families, not just the kids!

    MINUTE TO WIN IT EASTER GAMES

    So the great thing about the minute to win it games is that they’re short (which works well for family members of all ages) and they usually don’t require many supplies! That makes them simple to plan and you probably have most of what you need, outside of plastic eggs and Hatchimals CollEGGtible around the house already!

    EGG RELAY

    You’ll need a spoon, two baskets (or containers of similar size), and your Hatchimals CollEGGtibles to play this game.

     Set one basket on one side of the room and place the other basket with eggs on the opposite side. Players have one minute to transfer as many eggs from one basket to the other, but they can only move one egg at a time and it has to be carried on the spoon!

    For younger kids, give them a larger spoon while older kids can play with a smaller spoon to even the playing field.

    EGG CATCH
    VERSION #1

    This game is playing in partners so have your family pair up. Space the partners a specific distance apart and have them each place one hand behind their back. 

    One partner is in charge of tossing an egg (one at a time) to the other partner. The catching partner can also only use one hand to catch. To make it more challenging for older kids, have them use their non-dominant hands. 

    See how many eggs each team can successfully toss and catch in one minute!

    VERSION #2

    For another way to play this game, have the partners stand closer together to start. Each time a catch is made successfully, each person steps back. If the catch is missed, they toss again without moving.

    See which time is the farthest apart at the end of a minute to crown a winner of this game!

    EGG TOSS

    For this game, you’ll need 5-10 cups or bowls of similar size.

    Line the cups or bowls up in a straight line. Have the player stand at one end of the line.

    They have a minute to toss an egg into as many containers as possible starting with the one closest to them. Once they land the egg in the first container, they can retrieve it to toss to the next one. You can also have a basket of eggs so once they land the first egg, they simply reach for a second egg and go for the next container.

    The player to land the most eggs at the end of a minute is the winner.

    You can adapt this for younger and older kids by changing the distance between each container in the line.

    EGG RACE

    For this game, you’ll need a straw and an egg for each player. You’ll also need washi tape or painters tape.

    Mark a starting line and a finish line on the floor with the tape. 

    Have each player use the straw to blow their egg towards the finish line. Time each player. Whoever gets the farthest in a minute or finishes in the shortest times is the winner!

    EASTER EGG TRANSFER

    For this game, you’ll need eggs, tongs (or chopsticks to make it extra challenging), and two baskets or containers.

    Players use the tongs or chopsticks to move the eggs from one basket to the other. They can only move one egg at a time!

    Whoever transfers the most eggs in a minute wins the game!

    STANDING EGGS

    This game idea only needs eggs to play. You give each player a minute to stand up as many eggs as they can so the balance on their larger end.

    This one definitely offers a high level of challenge that makes it a good one for adults and older children!

    EGG BOWLING

    For this version of “bowling” you’ll want one egg that looks different than the rest or some other decorative Easter item. For our bowling game, I used a bunny from my Easter decorations. 

    Place the different egg or Easter item (in my case, the bunny) at one end of the space you’re playing in. Each player will have a chance to roll as many eggs as close to the bunny as they can in one minute. Mark with where the closest egg ended up with washi tape or painters tape and repeat with the next player.

    The player who gets the closest to the target in one minute is the winner!

    INDOOR EASTER EGG HUNT

    You don’t have to go outside to have an egg hunt. And you can keep the egg hunt manageable indoors by doing it minute to win it style!

    Choose a room or two in the house and limit the space where the eggs can be hidden. You can then do the egg hunt a few different ways to get more of the family involved.

    Give one child a minute to hide as many eggs in the specified room. Then give another child a minute to find as many as they can! If you don’t want to play it minute to win it style, then you can hide the eggs around the house and have a more traditional egg hunt as well!

    CRACK THE EGGS/HATCH THE EGGS

    This isn’t a minute to win it game, it’s just the fun of Easter eggs! Whether you’re using plastic eggs filled with treats or Hatchimals CollEGGtibles, be sure to give your kids time to open their eggs and see what goodies they have inside!

    One of my daughter’s favorite things about collecting Hatchimals CollEGGtibles is getting to hatch them! She loves the surprise! The best part is, once their hatched, she loves to play with the little Hatchimals characters inside, keeping her happy and playing for hours!

    The Limmy Edish Glamfetti 12-Pack Egg Carton is an entire carton of limited edition Hatchimals CollEGGtibles! It’s the only place to get the colorful Glamfetti Hatchimals so she was extra excited. If my kids find out anything is limited edition, they are ready to check it out! It’s a must-add to every collection!

    You can get Hatchimals products at Walmart, Target, and Amazon which makes them an easy addition to any Easter basket!
