Bunny Basket Egg

Details

This Easter-themed game will be a great addition leading up to and during the Easter season. It is played as an all-play game.

Start by having students form a circle around the room. Feel free to create an inner circle if space is needed. Have everyone standing facing clockwise.

When the music starts (play ‘Peter Cottontail’ by Gene Autry), players begin walking single file in their circle(s) clockwise.

Use the four slides (Blank Slide - Bunny - Basket - Egg) and click them on the screen one at a time in any order you choose. You will find yourself clicking through the slides numerous times for this game to work effectively.

Here is what players must do for each slide:    

BLANK SLIDE: Players are standing upright and walking clockwise.

BUNNY: Players must put their feet together and put their hands up on either side of their heads with both index fingers pointing up, pretending to be bunny ears. Players must then hop forward around the circle.

BASKET: Players put their arms over their heads, interlocking their fingers, thus creating a ‘basket handle’. Players must now start walking backward in a counterclockwise direction while maintaining that pose.
        
EGG: Players immediately stop where they are, drop to the floor, and assume a fetal position by holding their knees up to their chest while lying on their side.

Use leaders as judges to determine those who are too slow to match the pose on the screen. Those players are eliminated.

Continue until there is ONE winner.

This is a fast-paced game, and players will start to get tired quickly, which can lead to some quick eliminations.

GAME TIP #1: Feel free to yell “SPRING BREAK,” which allows all eliminated players to jump back in the game (just like JAILBREAK in Dodgeball).

GAME TIP #2: Make sure to use the ‘Blank Slide’ on the screen while players go around the circle between pose choices.
