Easter Holiday Break |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Easter season is a time when Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and everybody celebrates the joy of spring. This holiday of Easter is a symbol of the renewal of life. So, share the spirit of Easter and get involved with your friends and family during one of the most celebrated events of the year. Whether you want to attend parties, enjoy picnics and Easter egg hunts, or take advantage of Easter deals and vacation packages, it’s time to relax and make the most out of your Easter break. |

| Easter Party Ideas
You can throw a garden party for all the neighborhood kids, your family members, and friends. For maximum fun, organize an Easter egg hunt during the party. The egg hunt is one of the most traditional events held during the Easter holiday. Get the kids involved in decorating and dyeing eggs with natural colors (but be sure you’re prepared for a mess!). Once these eggs are hidden around your house and garden, encourage the children to find all of the eggs during the party, and hand out attractive prizes.

| Another fun-filled activity for the young ones could be making the baskets that they’ll use to collect the eggs during the egg hunt. All you have to do is make sure that you provide them with all the materials, and then show them how to create the basket. Have the kids weave construction paper and ribbons through the holes in little green strawberry baskets. Then, help them make a handle for each basket by twisting the ends of some pipe cleaner through the two sides. Fill the baskets with grass or tissue paper in order to protect the eggs from being broken as they are gathered.

Once you have arranged the egg hunt and other activities, make sure that there’s plenty of good food for your guests to enjoy. Start the party with some deviled eggs and follow up with other classical treats like baked ham, mashed potatoes, fruit salad, and cinnamon bread. Provide lots of refreshing drinks for everyone. Fresh orange juice for the kids, for example, can serve double duty in mimosas for the adults.
Easter Party Games
Easter games are a great way to entertain your guests and keep spirits high. The traditional egg hunt is always a good choice, but if you’d like a splash of variety, here are a couple more suggestions:
Easter egg lawn bowling:
This game makes use of your decorated hard-boiled or plastic eggs, distributed between teams. One person rolls a regular white-colored egg down the lawn, after which the others need to toss or roll their eggs as well, getting them as close to the white egg as they can and scoring points for doing so. You can even use your toss to knock someone else’s egg out of the running!
Easter egg lawn relay race:
The participants take turns rolling an egg with a spoon from one end of the yard to another. At each stop, they’ll quickly hand over their spoon to a partner, who will roll the egg for the next stretch of the race. The team that completes the course first will be declared the winner.
Famous Easter Egg Hunts
Here are some popular Easter egg events that you might be able to participate in, or you can keep a lookout for similar adventures in your area.
White House Easter Egg Roll:
This is the most famous of all the egg rolling contests organized during the season of Easter. In addition to the games, there are live music and storytelling sessions to enjoy. The White House opens its South Lawn to celebrate this holiday with the general public. If you’d like to participate in this event, you can apply ahead of time for tickets in an online lottery system.
Miami Seaquarium BunnyPalooza:
This is a popular local activity, celebrated for three days over the Easter weekend. Egg hunts will take place throughout the day, between 10:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. Other than the egg hunts, there are live performances and fun activities held for both kids and adults.
Hayes Easter Egg Roll:
The Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont, Ohio celebrates the Easter holiday with a traditional Easter egg roll and other contests. The event is held in the Hayes’ Spiegel Grove estate, in honor of the president who first allowed Easter games to be held on the White House lawn. The public is encouraged to attend this event and enjoy the celebrations, with children ages 3-10 welcome to join in various egg-related activities. Apart from the egg rolling contest, children can also participate in face-painting and storytelling sessions, and can even win fun prizes.
Easter Deals and Packages
There are a variety of deals and vacation packages offered by hotels and restaurants during the Easter weekend. For instance, the Aquavit Restaurant in New York organizes an Easter Smörgåsbord brunch and dinner, filled with traditional Swedish items like salmon pudding and smoked steelhead trout.
Now, if you’re planning to visit your favorite destination during the holiday of Easter, you may want to look for exciting packages offered by travel agencies. They’ll not only help you get tickets at special discounts, but can also arrange quality accommodation at a resort or hotel.
Some of the popular destinations you can visit during Easter are:
Seville, Spain:
Seville has been hosting Easter celebrations for at least four centuries, making it a great place to visit at this time of year. While you’re out and about taking in the scenic locations, be sure to observe the processions that are held during Holy Week. These processions involve thousands of people, who parade down the streets in elaborate traditional costumes, carrying sacred wooden sculptures depicting the Passion of Jesus Christ or the grieving Virgin Mary. This event will be especially poignant for those who are part of the Catholic faith.
When you visit this beautiful Spanish city, try looking for accommodation in the Tryp Macarena Hotel or the Convento La Gloria.
Powder Mountain, U.S.A.:
This Easter weekend, you may decide to visit Utah, which is home to one of the best ski resorts in the United States. Powder Mountain in Utah offers the opportunity to have a fun-filled Easter vacation while surrounded by nature. Whether it’s skiing, barbecue, or a live concert, you’ll find a number of reasons to enjoy your Easter stay here.
Antigua, Caribbean Islands:
The island of Antigua is one of the best places to spend your Easter vacation. The soft white sand of the beaches, coupled with the deep blue water of the ocean, will create a relaxed atmosphere ideal for enjoying the spring holiday season. One exciting thing to watch out for is the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. This is one of the world’s most famous yachting events, perfect for having a fun day outdoors with the family. For a comfortable stay in Antigua, you might seek accommodation at the Inn at English Harbour.
These days of celebrating Easter give you the chance to get rid of stress and spend quality time with your loved ones. Be sure to enjoy yourself and have fun during the Easter holiday break!
