Balloon Easter Egg Challenge

Kids race to collect Easter eggs into a basket while keeping a balloon off the ground. A simple game that turns an egg hunt into a hilarious whole-body workout.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Scatter plastic Easter eggs around the room or yard.

  2. 2

    Inflate a balloon and hand it to the kid.

  3. 3

    Challenge them to collect all the eggs into the basket without letting the balloon touch the ground.

  4. 4

    Time them and try to beat the score on the next round.

Tips & extensions

For younger kids, use a larger balloon — it moves more slowly and is easier to keep up.
