Designate six spaces in your area as space #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Put up simple signs for each area or use numbered hula hoops. While music is playing, have the kids move or dance around the area. <\/p>\n<p>Play music or set a timer and let your family move or dance around until the timer dings or the music stops.&#160; Kids should move to one of the six spaces. Roll the dice, and the kids at that number are out. (I have a large 3- inch die I like to use) Start the music again and continue until you have one or two children left- they are your winners.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/egg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px\" title=\"egg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"egg\" src=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/egg_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Now, just in time for Easter, here\u2019s an Easter twist to the game.&#160; Put six different colored plastic eggs in each corner.&#160; Instead of rolling a die draw a color from a hat.&#160;&#160; Once the players have selected a corner, the game director pulls out a color from a hat and those players standing in that corner are eliminated from the game. <\/p>\n<p>Let your family move or dance around and repeat the process.&#160; Be sure and put&#160; the color you pull out back into the hat<\/p>\n<p>Play until there is a winner. Kids enjoy playing this Easter game so budget lots of time for this game.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing about this game is that you can easily adapt to your reunion theme.&#160; If you are having a Western family reunion you can use western items in your corners- horse shoe, cow, saddle etc.&#160; You could also use wanted pictures of famous outlaws in each corner- Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy, Doc Holiday etc.&#160; You can also play this in a private swimming pool. Participants swim around until the music stops and then they have to quickly swim to a number.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>Whatever your family reunion theme- this game will be a great addition to the&#160; fun!<\/p>\n<p>Aunt MO<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an elementary music teacher I spend time with lots of children- more than a thousand every week.&#160; Throughout the years I have found one&#160; game that is every child\u2019s favorite- honestly, they NEVER tire of this game.&#160; Although I &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/2011\/04\/this-is-a-game-kids-love-with-an-easter-twist\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[214],"tags":[218,215,143,216,13,221,220,217,219],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
