From Food To Games - Preparing And Hosting Your Family Easter Party
Not only is Easter celebrated as a religious holiday throughout the world, but it's also a time when families get together. Often times, being the host or hostess at one of these family get-togethers can be a bit stressful, so to make your mind a bit more at ease, here is our recommended agenda to keep the kids and the grown-ups entertained, and to keep the day flowing smoothly.
Prep The Food:
In Brisbane we like Easter parties in our backyards with a barbie,or down at the beach. A few days before Easter decide and shop for the necessary food ingredients. Pre-prepare your salads,seal and store them in the fridge they will be fine. Plan on making your day of food and play enjoyable. Less work at the sink.
Prep The Space:
It will be good remembering to make sure there is enough seating for everyone the day before,and of course if you are assured of the numbers of poeple expected and weather is forecast to be nice be sure to organise and set out additional chairs, if it will be necessary. You may even want to get the table settings ready - for not only the adults, but possibly the "kiddie" table, too.
Prepare and Play Games:
Most likely as your family and friends begin to arrive, they will want to converse and mingle for a bit. What you want to avoid is any awkward pauses in conversation while the food is finished getting prepared. This is when having a few games handy can come into play. For instance, Easter Picture Bingo is one of our favorites because the entire family can play, not just the adults. You can also have various games laid out with Easter-themed gift baskets for the winners. Not only will this keep your guests entertained, but it will also allow extra interaction between them as they try to figure out the answers to games like Easter Bible Trivia and Names Of The King Word Search. Also, be sure to have a few additional games set up for the kids, like Pin The Tail On The Bunny and Bunny Tic-Tac-Toe.

Serve Dinner:
By the time guests are finishing playing games, dinner should be ready. Allow guests to relax and enjoy their Easter dinner, because afterwards, it's time for the Easter Egg Hunt!
Play more games:
Weather can often be temperamental during Summer,especially in Queensland, so having a back up plan for the typical outdoor Easter Egg Hunt is always a good idea. We love Egg Hunt, which is a spin on the typical Easter Egg Hunt. Your guests will break into teams of 3-4. Only one team member has a basket and the other team members are egg hunters. Egg hunters keep their hands behind their back, and when they find an egg, they must cluck like a chicken until their team member with the basket comes to collect the egg. The team who collects the most eggs wins a prize.
Serve Dessert:
After all the games are played and dinner has had a bit of time to settle, feel free to serve up dessert and let your guests finish mingling before they go their separate ways.
Wrap Up:
Just remember, a little bit of pre-planning, some prepared games, good food and good company will surely make this Easter holiday a celebration to remember.
