Kids are wired on Easter even when they haven't devoured a basket full of chocolate, so make sure you are prepared with a variety of activities to keep them entertained.

Here are some Easter games and projects to keep the fun going on Easter Sunday:

EASTER EGG GAMES

If the weather is nice, head outdoors to play Easter egg games. Use several colored eggs (hard boiled) and one white one. Roll the white egg in the center of the yard (or large living room). Next, take turns to see who can roll their colored egg closest to the white egg.

EASTER BUNNY GAMES

Cut out a large egg from poster board or construction paper.

Have players form a circle. One child is chosen as the "Bunny" and sits in the middle of the circle.

The Bunny covers his eyes while another player is selected to sit on the egg. The players in the circle then chant: "Easter Bunny, Easter Bunny, where's your egg? Somebody stole it from your home!"

The "Bunny" then has three guesses to figure out which player is sitting on the egg.

The child who sits on the egg becomes the new "Bunny" when the other one is done guessing.

POMPOM SHEEP

Materials:

1 large white pompom

Black or gray felt

2 small googly eyes

Large plastic button

Yarn

Glue dots or craft glue

Plastic Easter eggs

Directions:

Cut the felt into three ovals; one that is about 1-inch long for the head and two that are about 1/2-inch for the ears.

Glue the eyes in place on the larger oval.

Cut a small piece of yarn for the mouth and attach it with glue.

Glue the pompom onto the button to create a stand, press firmly to secure.

Glue the head onto the pompom, then attach the ears.

Tie a bow with the yarn and glue it below the head.

Place the entire lamb into the egg for an Easter surprise.
