Best Games and Puzzles for Easter Baskets 2024

We’re sharing the best games and puzzles for Easter Baskets in 2024! Plus our simple family tradition for giving Easter Baskets.

For many families, ours included, Easter is a special day. We head to church, take part in egg hunts, enjoy some candy eggs, and visit family for delicious meals and good company.

We also enjoy giving our kids a little Easter Basket. We don’t go overboard, just something small with a few pieces of their favorite candy, maybe an art supply or two. Some years we do a group basket rather than individual Easter baskets.

This will likely come as no surprise, but we also love to turn the giving of Easter baskets into a game!

Before the egg hunt, we’ll hide a special golden egg for each kid that they must find before they can get their Easter Basket. Last year we created a riddle that, if solved correctly, would help lead them to their Golden Egg! The golden eggs can be anywhere, inside or outside, and the kids get so excited running around trying to find theirs.

It’s so fun and an easy way to create fun family traditions and memories.

To help make their basket extra special, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite games that are perfect to add to a basket and play Easter Sunday together!

Best Games and Puzzles for Easter Baskets 2024

Tiny Polka Dot

This cute little game will help your kids learn early math skills! There are multiple ways to use the cards and create a variety of games and challenges.

Clack!

Our kids love the sounds these discs make when they magnetize together!

Hoppy Salmon

I love this cute Easter retheme of Happy Salmon! It has new bunny themed handshakes too!

If you want an easy “add to cart” Easter Basket, I put together a cute basket featuring Hoppy Salmon here!

Spot it!

A classic that never gets old!

FlipSlide

Be warned, this thing is addictive! You’re going to want to play it just as much as your kids! My favorite feature though, is that it has a silent mode!

Froggies

A simple card game great for beginning players. It’ll also help them learn their numbers too!

Twist and Slide Puzzle

This comes in a set of three with three different sizes which is nice if you have multiple baskets to fill!

Egg Head

Egg themed and perfect for keeping kids’ brains busy and occupied! I love having these solo puzzles on hand for quiet time, travel, and restaurants!

Tucano

A simple set collection game fun for kids and adults alike! Also easy to include younger players — we’ve played this with our kids as young as 3 and 5 who both loved it.

Railroad Ink Challenge

This is perfect for your older players who love a puzzly challenge. Great to play solo or with friends!

Monopoly Deal

Our favorite way to play Monopoly! This packs all of the fun into a quick card game and at only $5 it’s a steal!

Kittin

Quickly stack the kittens to recreate different patterns. I love that the whole game stores in a little tin perfect for travel.

Scout

A clever card game perfectly compact for easter baskets. You can save even more money on it by picking it up at Target, just know that to save on cost, they’ve eliminated the cardboard player tokens and changed the packaging.

Grandpa Beck’s Games

These modern twist on classic card games are family favorites! We love their new one Another Man’s Treasure which has a Rummy style play. Nuts about Mutts is great for your younger players too!

Exit the Game

Since Jesus found a way to exit the tomb, maybe you’d like to take a crack at Exiting the game?? (I’ll see myself out) We love these escape room like mysteries. There are so many to choose from — just select a theme and difficulty level you’re excited about and get cracking!
