Pudding Pictionary

We are always looking for fun games to play. My kids have played this at school and church, so we decided to play it for family night. It was so easy with very little preparation. I used a four pack of chocolate pudding packs. I dumped out two on each side of the table. You smooth it out with a spatula and use your fingers to draw or the back of a wooden spoon. We grabbed our Pictionary game down from the game closet.

But really it's funner to make up your own. You can have each person come up with ten, and mix them up and draw one out.

We split into two teams.

The drawer picks three cards from the pile. From these cards they picked one to draw. We drew three so that there would be one that would be easy enough to draw with your finger in pudding. We have an older version and some are really hard.

keep drawing an see how many you can get your team to guess before the timer goes out. If your team did not guess the last card, the other team can guess and earn the points. We played to ten.

It was a blast. It's fun to get your hands a little dirty, show your kids your not too old to be silly.

After the game we had a pudding eating contest in a very unusual way, it was too funny. Click here for more details.

Sing Karaoke while wearing mouth retractors. Watching some one sing a song like "Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake with a mouth guard/retractor while the are drooling and slurring is hilarious. It's fun for Christmas caroling too.

Extreme Spoons

Instead of placing the sons in the middle of the table, put them all over the room in challenging places. You have to run and get them. Careful on where you put them, things will be broken and fought over.

It's charades with a fully dresses blow up doll. There were a few inappropriate cards that I found. And several that are not inappropriate, but you could easily make them inappropriate if you tried. So, depending on your group you may need to make a G-rated rule.

Easter is on April Fool's Day

Bean Boozled

This Bean Boozled Game (Bean boozled game box version) game is perfect for Easter this year, since it's on April Fools Day (2018). You can either play the game or just put the jelly beans in the Easter eggs hunt and not tell anybody. My Dad is dumping the box in a bowl to leave on his desk at work. Have fun with it!

Bean Boozled

The box contains Jelly Beans. There are two flavors for every color. One flavor is delicious, and the other is nasty. It's a game of chance. We had a blast playing it. The kids were brave. I would recommend having a bowl nearby, just in case you can't handle the flavor. Nobody threw-up, but a few times they gagged a little.

Bean Boozled

We had so much fun playing this game, and laughing out loud at each other. Might not be for everyone and check for allergies. Let your inner child come out and take a chance with this fun party game.

10 Easter Egg Hunt Ideas

Our kids are getting older and harder keep entertained for the holidays. A boring old fashion Easter egg just doesn't keep their interest anymore. We love to be creative and come up with our own twist on holiday traditions. So here's what we came up with.

1.Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt

We decided to have a glow in the dark egg hunt. We thought we could use glow in the dark spray paint or duct tape. We even wrote stuff with glow in the dark glue for the glue gun. Just be careful not to burn or melt anything, including yourself. We've also used glow in the dark puffy fabric paint to draw on the eggs, it comes in many different colors. I've even seen glow in the dark wall paint. For added fun, we thought we'd spray paint or duct tape each child's Easter basket/bucket to glow in the dark. Click here for a more detailed earlier post on our blog and tons of ideas for different glowing items. The kids absolutely loved it!

2.Non-Candy Easter Egg Hunt ideas.

The kids get so much candy and sweets over the holidays, it's nice to shake things up a bit. We did charm bracelet charms, puzzle pieces, Lego Pieces, Perler beads, etc. Click here for a detailed earlier post on our blog.

3.Give each child a colored pail and they are only allowed to collect the eggs that are their color. Great way to keep it equal for different age groups.

4.Easter hunt using balloons instead of eggs filled with goodies, must pop the balloons to get the goodies. *NOT recommended on grass, it might pop the balloons.

5. Jokes on You! For older kids, fill some of the eggs with really good stuff (candy, toys or prizes) and some with gross stuff (ex. slime, vegetables or gross jelly beans).

6. Inside each egg leave a word to a sentence or sentence of a paragraph of a huge prize. It might be that you are taking a family trip, going to a concert, getting season passes, or buying a swimming pool type thing. They finders find all the pieces and unscramble the message for the big surprise.

7. Put tokens inside each egg for prizes they can buy with their tokens. For instance a squirt gun might be worth 5 tokens or eggs.

8. Let the kids hide the eggs and the adults find them. Kids love to feel sneaky.

9. Send them on a scavenger hunt.

10. Put funny physical things they must do inside each eggs. For example hop like a bunny or roll like an egg.

Click here for some cutouts from Teach123.

Included because not everyone knows what they are:

A traditional Easter egg hunt is for decorated hard boiled Easter eggs in a park or backyard.

A modern Easter egg hunt is for plastic eggs filled with candy in a park or backyard. There is usually a large or golden egg with a special prize for the lucky finder.

Hope this has inspired your creative juices, for added fun mix a few hunt into one.

Don't forget to leave a comment and share with your friends!

Egg Drop Party Game

Chicken Egg Drop Party Game

My kids love this Easter Game. It's super easy to play and requires very little set up. We love to play it after a good Easter egg hunt. It would also be fun played for a Farm Lesson in school.

You will need:

4 Easter baskets (2 must be without handles)

An Easter egg for each player (we like to do 2 turns each, so we do twice as many eggs)

How to Play:

Have the group split into two teams.

Line up the teams on one side of the room or yard.

Place a basket with enough eggs for each team member inside it in front of each team.

Place and handle-less Easter Basket on the other side of the room or yard.

Each team member must race one at a time, waddling with colored eggs between their legs or thighs, to the basket across the room or yard. No Hands!

The players must drop the egg into the basket and run back to their team. If the egg was dropped anytime before the basket they must start over. If the egg does not land in to Easter Basket, you must start over.

Once the player has returned, the next player can go.

Repeat until all the players have had a turn.

The first group to finish is the winner.

You can use craft eggs, plastic eggs (with or without candy), colored boiled eggs or raw eggs depending on your players.

*Raw eggs could be really messy, and possibly carry salmonella.
