Play a game of leapfrog to improve addition or multiplication skills. This game is twice the fun because first, you’ll make origami frogs together before learning to make them “jump” to get to the lily pad numbers. | Teach Beside Me

Practice geometry concepts with homemade dice made out of tissue boxes and duct tape. You can make this simple for little ones (like shape identification) or more complex for older children with questions that quiz them on things like right angles. Adapt the game for children in 3rd grade to 6th grade. | Look, We’re Learning

Do your 5th grade kids have a new skill? Turn into a fun game. Fractions and decimals can be challenging for some learners, but it’s easier to grasp when you make them fun. This fractions-to-decimals game is a great way to do just that. In this printable math board game, using dice to determine the number of spaces you go, the older kids will move around the gameboard, solving problems as they go. When children are first learning this process, you can use decimal grids or even calculators in the game to help them familiarize themselves with the equivalent numbers. This equivalent fractions game is also great for 4th grade or 6th grade.| Math Geek Mama

This Base Ten Math Game is helpful kids ages 2 through 8, but it’s especially useful after kindergarten when kids start learning the concept of base 10 numbers. Plus, it’s a handy way to get more use out of those pool noodles in the garage. You’ll need two colors: one color will be used for all the 10s while another color will be used for the ones (this pool noodle will need to be cut into 10 equal segments). Use them to practice numbers 1 through 100. | The Educators’ Spin On It

Work on multiplication math facts with a basketball-themed shoot and score game. You’ll match the problems to the products to help reinforce times tables. It’s definitely a lot more fun than doing multiplication worksheets. | Look, We’re Learning

We love our throw blankets, I bet you do too. Love them so much, but they tend to disappear to our kids’ bedrooms – does anyone else have that problem?

As I was preparing for filling our blanket basket with a few more blankets before we begin an in-home bible study, I came across this awesome savings.

Right now save on these luxury throw blankets. Grab a Hotel Collection Luxe Knit Throw for $49.99 from $130.00. These are 50″ x 70″ and have 4.9 stars out of 5 stars. That is with over 60 reviews, so people like them! Grab one of 6 prints. I personally am grabbing the Fawn Leopard.

If you hate shopping at Macy’s because you are loyal to Amazon, I get it. The Amazon Basics Fuzzy Faux Fur Sherpa Throw Blanket is a little bit larger at 60″ x 70″ and is also a fan favorite in the house. The current list price is $31 and has over 17 styles to choose form.

Enjoy!

As animals and plants emerge from a long winter hibernation, so can we! There are many benefits to getting outside. While the kids might not care about the benefits, it’s good for us as parents to see how an outdoor adventure can be good for the soul.

Promotes an appreciation for the natural environment.

Going on a nature treasure hunt allows you to observe and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. You get to explore different areas of nature that you may not have ventured into before. A few big-picture observations are obvious, but how about getting down to the nitty-gritty? Observe insects as they travel in and out of the entrance to their home. Watch how the wind creates a dance in a field of wildflowers.

Encourages physical activity.

A nature scavenger hunt encourages you to get outdoors and stay physically active. It is a great way to get your daily dose of exercise and fresh air! A hike through a field doesn’t have to be vigorous. In fact, you might not even realize the motions are you going through as you are distracted by the outdoor activity. Want to make it more challenging, incorporate a set of 10 exercises between each activity.

Fosters teamwork skills.

Scavenger hunts are great for bonding with family, friends, or colleagues. Working together towards completing goals promotes teamwork and collaboration within groups. They also can act as an ice breaker for getting to know new friends. Perfect for summer camp or a youth group.

Teaches problem-solving skills.

Solving puzzles or puzzles while on the hunt requires critical thinking and encourages creative problem-solving skills. While this particular scavenger hunt isn’t very challenging, there is a nature checklist that might require a few great detectives to fulfill all the checks.

Makes lasting memories.

Going on a nature scavenger hunt creates a unique experience that can be fondly remembered for years to come! It is the perfect way to make family memories that will last a lifetime. In fact, fresh air and exploration release endorphins. Endorphins open the memory bank for new files. This out-of-the-box activity will be one they won’t forget and will talk about for years.

Enhances knowledge of nature.

By going on a nature scavenger hunt, you can learn new things about the environment and its animal inhabitants. You can increase your understanding of how different plants and animals interact with each other in their natural habitat. Instead of looking at the bigger picture, you are led through this printable outdoor activity to focus on the little things that together build the bigger picture. (For example the leaves instead of the trees or instead of the forest.)

Enter Your Location. Enter your zip code for shipping options.

Choose a Delivery Day. There are a few options for your delivery day based on your zip code. Your box will arrive between 8 am and 9 pm.

Dinnerly boxes are designed to keep your produce fresh and refrigerated items chilled during their journey to your doorstep. Once your box is delivered, you should unpack your cardboard box as soon as possible and place its contents in your refrigerator (or freezer.)

How much does a Dinnerly subscription cost?

The price of this fun meal service will vary. For most users, portions will be around $4.99 – $7.00/serving. When choosing your Dinnerly meals, there are a few meals that might have upcharges for premi-YUM ingredients or dietary restrictions including grass feed beef, gluten-free, shrimp, seafood, steak, etc. As a counter, there are also a few options where the price of the portion is reduced.

For a pricing example, I feed a family of seven on 4 person box. (I will share later how I do this.) On average, I have four meals arrive each week. A four-meal week with a portion of four people costs me $94.24 plus $11.99 shipping. That is less than $25/meal for a freshly cooked meal for my family. This pricing did not include any special offers or up chargers. This was $5.89.

Dinnerly pricing varies on two things:

The number of meals ordered a week.
The number of servings for each meal.

Dinnerly Cost

Look at this price chart for the dinnerly cost per serving based on the number of servings and meals.

With this chart, you can see that the dinnerly cost is as low as $4.99 per person. This is because Dinnerly only lets you get meals for up to four people. But I get a meal for 7 people… So really, I stretch the dinnerly price to as low as $2.85 per person (plus any add-ons I get from my grocery store.)

I have found a way to get the Dinnerly cost down to $2.85 a person!

Why was this pricing worth it?

It gave me time as did not have to meal plan.
It offered convenience as did not have to grocery shop.
Everything was at my front door on a date I chose.
I was offering my family a variety of recipes (instead of the same old recipe.)
I can quickly see nutrition facts including calories, fat, and dietary details.
I had dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.

At a low price of (as low as) $4.99/serving (or a Dinnerly price of $2.85), this was totally worth it and a very affordable meal kit.

Can I edit my recipes?

Yes, choose the weekly recipes you want! There are plenty of different meal options and varieties from Mexican, to Asian, Italian, and more. Dinnerly will suggest weekly menus, but you can edit your dinnerly offers each week. Add more or fewer recipes to your box depending on how many days of the week you need to cook.

I have dietary needs.

If you have dietary restrictions, Dinnerly has solutions. The meal plan recipes can be sorted and you can search among super recipes for vegetarians, gluten-free diets, and healthy living.

Are the recipes hard to make?

No.

I could stop with no but I will offer you more details. I seriously hate coking. It creates a mess and requires culinary creativity. These recipes dummy it down in a quick 20 to 30 minutes. The instructions are easy to read. The tastes are really great. I actually feel amazing at the end of the process. Having cooked dinners from a meal box for almost five months I actually feel like I have acquired a few culinary talents (nothing I ever desired to achieve.)

Can you pause your subscription?

Yes! Are you traveling or extra busy for one week? You can pause your subscription or skip a week. Customers can cancel at any time, there are no commitments to stay.

I have canceled ordering meals during Thanksgiving week or family travel.

I have more than four people in my family.

When you create a dinnerly subscription, you can choose a 2-person meal or a 4-person meal. If you have more than four people in your family, there are a few options. Simply order the same meal multiple times and get up to eight services or add ingredients to your grocery shopping.

I do the latter. Each week after I choose my recipes for the following week, I know what will be included in my dinnerly shipment. Based on these easy dinner recipes, I use my grocery delivery service to order extra ingredients like meats, starches, or vegetables. My kids eat A LOT and it’s not uncommon for us to have a small portion of leftovers because I added extra chicken, pasta, or even broccoli to a weeknight recipe.

Easy Weeknight Recipes with Meal Subscription

Weeknights are full of activity mixed with the anticipation of getting to bed at a reasonable time and restarting the next day. Because of the hustle and bustle of the evening, having an easy weeknight recipe is very important.

Dinnerly has changed our evenings in the fact that I am not chasing fast food or going crazy repeating the same ole recipe. I simply open my phone, choose a recipe from my box for the night and grab the ingredients from my fridge.

The ingredients in dinnerly recipes are often about 5 to 7 items. Fewer ingredients plus a few steps. The steps are never longer than six easy steps. The directions are well-written and easy to follow.

Highlights which make these easy weeknight meals…

Recipes 30 minutes or less
Portioned ingredients
Simple recipe instructions
Reused pans and bowls for easy cleaning
Easily accessible ingredients
Few complaints
No grocery shopping

Often easy weekend night super of put on repeat. You know how to do it with the back of your hand and your family tires of this easily. When I open a dinnerly recipe, I have no idea where to begin but the six steps don’t cause me much stress. They are easy-peasy and all create new or familiar flavors we love.

In five months there might be five recipes we have repeated. Some recipes are similar tasting but each is new.

Adding to Subscription Box Meals

Dinnerly includes all the key ingredients you need to prep your meal. However, it’s very easy to add your ingredients to a Dinnerly recipe. Recipes only feed up to four people and I have a family of 7 (you do the math.) I could easily order another four-person recipe but that cost adds up. Instead, this non-chef tries this trick – ordering extra ingredients.

Because Dinnerly requires you to choose recipes in advance, I know what is coming the following week. So instead of duplicating my order, I order a few of the key ingredients in my grocery delivery service and add these staples to the easy Dinnerly recipe I plan to cook that week. Typically the items I add to recipes are meat, veggies, or starches. For example extra ground beef, extra pasta, or extra pasta. If we are really in need of more food (which is rare), I make a side salad, a bread loaf, or a fruit salad.

If you do not wish to order extra food from your local grocery store, during your meal subscription checkout, Dinnerly has the option to add these extra products. These extra meat items or sides are sometimes at a lower price than most grocery stores.

In addition to adding more to the main course, during dinnerly checkout, you can add fun dessert recipes, snack bars, or already-prepared meals.

Recipe Ingredients

When cooking Dinnerly dinner recipes, there are a few pantry staples you will want to have around your house. These items are not shipped but are common cooking ingredients in most homes.

Kitchen staples you should have in your home include…

Eggs
Red Wine Vinegar
White Vinegar
Cooking Oil
Olive Oil
Sugar
Flour
Butter
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Mayonaise

These key ingredients will be included in many of the subscription box Dinnerly recipes but not in your subscription box.

Dinnerly Recipes PDF

Dinnerly does not include recipes in their box. They include recipe ingredients but no recipe cards. Rather the menu planning Dinnerly website has a digital recipe box.

The first week I received my box my heart began to race because I was looking everywhere for dinner instructions. However, I quickly realized how easily I could locate the dinnerly recipes in the app on my phone.

Since the dinner recipes are available on both a Google play store and Apple Store Dinnerly app, you can easily look at digital recipe cards on your phone. However, if you want printable dinnerly recipes, follow these steps for your Dinnerly recipe PDF.

Sign in to Dinnerly.
Go to the order tab.
Click the image of the recipe you want to print.
Click the “click for cooking instructions” button.
A recipe card PDF will open.
Print this printable recipe PDF.

Save these recipes in a recipe binder. This will save money on printer ink and paper later as in the future you can repeat these dinner recipes and easily refer to your dinnerly menu recipe printables.

Of course, there is no need to print your recipes. You can view the cooking instructions right on your smartphone.

Dinnerly Review

Now you want the Dinnerly review? Let me give you my personal Dinnerly experience. I am sure you likely saw a few of my perceptions through the explanations of this meal kit delivery service.

If I may be very honest, I hate cooking. I hate baking. I hate mess. Being in the kitchen includes all of that. Regardless of my distaste for cooking, dinnerly has given me a positive experience.

I started a Dinnerly subscription in August. By February, I was still using the weekly meal delivery service. That’s a really long time (at least for me.) I have tried meal kit services like (Hellofresh or Home Chef) before and never committed to more than a three-week trial. This is dedication through half of a school year and I have no intention to stop. I bet you I make it this entire school year because of how useful it is for me.

What I love about Dinnerly Meal Subscription…

Dinnerly does my grocery shopping. I find it very helpful that the meal service does the grocery shopping for me. Besides using cooking staples (I already have) and adding a few extra items to my grocery list, I am no longer collecting ingredients at the grocery store for my family’s meals.

Dinnerly plans my meals. Dinnerly weekly offers suggestions for kid-friendly meals based on my history and saves and reviews. The menu planner eliminates the difficult planning and offers me weekly ideas. I can quickly confirm what I want to keep on my family’s menu and replace (or erase) what I do not want. This might take me 5 minutes each week.

Dinnerly tastes good. Not one time did my family not love one of the dinnerly supper recipes. I never had to toss a meal. Ingredient quality is there and you cook with fresh ingredients which add plenty of flavors. Does my family have different taste buds? Yes. That being said, there are times that a couple of picky eaters did not favor a dish but for the most part, at least five people like what I have made (that’s a huge accomplishment.) Most of the time it’s all seven that like the delivered meals as I cater recipes to my family’s taste buds. My husband, who used to order individual meal services, stopped his delivery service and now eats what I cook. Hear me out, it wasn’t awful before it was just not food he wanted. He loves the meals now.

Dinnerly gives me confidence. Confidence in the kitchen was not something I was looking for. I could seriously care less. But I find as I cook more and order more dinnerly meals, I kind of understand the art of cooking. Sorry, I hate to be cliche. But I am learning how to substitute things or add slight variations to improve the preferences of my family/s likes. This was not a skill I had before. I also love the mechatronic pat on my back I get from my family when they say “yum!” or “so good!” (It’s quite frequent.)

I have used dinnerly not only for my immediate family (did I mention I have seven) but also for the extended family that has visited as guests. They loved the meals too. When guests come, I either order double the recipe or I just make adaptions like adding extra rice, sides, or meats.

In fact, this easy and low-cost meal service is mother-in-law approved! My MIL, who I find to be the best home chef ever, totally loved the convenience and cost of this meal service. She is a person who can run to the grocery store and create a five-course dinner with little or no direction. She’s creative with ingredients and flavors and really loved each of the meals I made for her when she visited.

All in all – time, taste and convenience have won me over to use this company week after week after week!

More Dinnerly Reviews

I wanted to supply you with other voices too! It’s important to read reviews before a big purchase like this. Google reviews actually has over 2,000 dinnerly reviews that show 4.5 stars.

Read some of these reviews of Dinnerly. I will share the good and the bad so you can see a variety of what people are sayings. Pay attention to the bars. Over 2,000 reviews and that’s a pretty heavy 5-star line.

Every meal has been so delicious and my kids love them too! Also, I always have leftovers so the portions are a great size for a family of 5! I would recommend it to anyone.

We received our first Dinnerly box and it was better than expected! The shrimp bake in foil was amazing! We are now on week 3 of our Dinnerly subscription and we have Tuesday as our delivery date but every week thus far we have received an email update on Tuesday that due to unforeseen circumstances, our order will be delivered one day late. We still have our date set on our profile to Tuesday, but have not received our box on Tuesday. Other than this faux pas, the items shipped and quality are excellent & the recipes are very easy and quick!

Please note: I (Ashley) had a shipment issue like Tifnie and Dinnerly refunded me the full box.

There are some really cool recipes! They use less plastic than some of the other companies. You do not get printed recipe cards which is very annoying to me. There are also no pictures on the recipe instructions online, which as a visual learner is sometimes difficult.

Please note: I understand Dawn’s frustration. I wish I had printed cards too. You can print off your online account if this is important to you. Otherwise, use your app.

We’ve done a bunch of meal services but hands down love Dinnerly the best. We love the wide range in vegetarian and chicken options as our family doesn’t eat much beef and pork. Even when forgetting to select meal the options picked are amazing and meet our dietary restrictions. Good produce and great price for the value.

I thought it was important to also give you a 1-star Dinnerly review so you can also read a negative Dinnerly review in addition to the positive dinnerly reviews.

My experience with Dinnerly started out fine. I enjoyed the convenience of planned meals with simple recipes and ingredients delivered. The recipes were down to earth and for the most part worked well for my family of picky eaters. However, over the past year there have been issues with quality, condition and missing ingredients. It was easy to let the little things go by at first. A smashed tomato, meat package leaks, smashed bread, a seasoning left out, the wrong meal sent, etc. Most recently, it was moldy bread and brown basil with pictures attached. I complained a total of 3 times and within a week each time received partial credit for the problems. I didn’t complain each time there was a problem because I didn’t want to mess with it or I would forget. Most of the time, I could use something I had on hand as a substitute. The frustration and disappointment level is just too much for the amount of money I pay for a service to reduce stress and make life easier. I contacted the company on Monday with the attached pics expressing the problems I have had and asked for a full box credit if they would like me to continue the service. On Friday, they offered to credit one meal instead of the box so I cancelled my subscription. I don’t have time to complain with almost every box and the one meal credit wasn’t enough to compensate for the issues in the past or time in the future needed to deal with ingredient problems. Six days ago I received an email requesting that I leave a review, so here it is. I gave three stars to be fair, but if you use this service be prepared to be flexible and have some extra ingredients on hand. If your experience is anything like mine, you will need them. Edit: Changed to a one star based on response below. Obviously, I have already given them feedback directly and they chose not to keep me as a customer.

You can even review Dinnerly too.

Are you looking for exciting things to do this spring with the kids? Grab this Spring Scavenger Hunt printables set with four fun outdoor scavenger hunt ideas.

As soon as the fall and winter seasons hit, our calendars become filled with activity. However, coming out of the winter months might feel a little bit slower as we are all frozen from short days and cold months. If you are looking for a few fun activities to do this spring with your family try a spring scavenger hunt! There are multiple ways to go about this. You can do a sprint scavenger hunt list with pictures for younger kids or you can do something fun and ab it more challenging for older kids. These can include fun outdoor riddles children last to solve in order to find the prize upon finishing. Or toss your hands in the area and do a scavenger hunt that is included every spring – hint, it includes little things called eggs.

How to create a spring scavenger hunt

One of the biggest scavenger hunts occurs every spring. In fact, it’s so common most of us don’t recognize it as a scavenger hunt. Spring always brings an Easter Egg Hunt as we scavenge the group for plastic little eggs. Because of this treasure hunt spring tradition, it’s easy to create a scavenger hunt in spring. In fact, if you don’t feel like putting together your own easter egg hunt, you can find one at schools, churches, and community parks most everywhere. It’s convenient and allows us to bring a few spring memories to our kids. If you want to put together your own spring scavenger hunt, then that can be accomplished too.

What are good items for a scavenger hunt?

Items needed for a scavenger hunt are different for each season and theme. A birthday scavenger hunt looks much different than a grocery store scavenger hunt. Common things needed or most scavenger hunts include…

Clue cards or a checklist
Prizes
Bags for collected items
Pencils, pens, crayons
Timer (for timed scavenger hunt races)

How do you make a simple scavenger hunt?

It’s easy to put together a scavenger hunt especially when you can easily access printable scavenger hunts. To put together an easy scavenger hunt, set up the following scavenger hunt plan.

Download and print your scavenger hunt (s) clue cards and or checklists.
Scout out a location. For a spring scavenger hunt, have a backyard, park, or playground.
Take a look at your lists. Are all items able to be found? If not cross out items that don’t work or omit the clues that don’t fit your outdoor scavenger hunt setting.
If this is a scavenger hunt with clues, hide your clues in order. Briefly run through the scavenger hunt to make sure it works.
With each clue hide fun prizes or one big prize at the end. If it’s a checklist scavenger hunt, hold on to the prizes.

Now that you are ready for a scavenger hunt during spring, take a look at these printable spring scavenger hunt ideas. Grab the printable hunt that is best for your crew.

How Well Do You Know Your Family Game Printable Trivia Cards

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

March 20, 2023 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Games, Instagram, Parenting, Party, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Combine family conversation starters with silly challenges to create the epic “how well do you know your family?” game. This fun trivia game helps people get to know their families better. Use these 100+ printable “do you know your family?” cards for family-friendly competitions & family connections. A family game night favorite will cultivate hilarious new family memories.

Do you remember the best family game night you ever had? While family game night is a fun family tradition, sometimes the nights don’t stand out. We can turn that around with a super-fun do you know your family trivia game.

Play this cool, unique game with your family and see who knows the most about each other. Get teens out of their shells. Crete laughter and fun for the whole family from adults to young kids. This will turn into a family game night favorite with new hilarious family memories.

… so how well do you know your family?

Do You Know Your Family Game

So what is this family trivia game? Do you know your family is a family-friendly game filled with questions and challenges. The family-friendly trivia questions require players to ask a question about themselves and their family to answer the questions. For added fun, there are challenge chards or action cards. The fun game cards are quick and easy so toddlers and grandparents are welcome to join in on the fun.

Let’s take a look at game trivia questions and family challenges that are a great fit for the entire family.

How Well Do You Know Your Family Questions

If you are familiar with family conversation starter questions, then you will understand how these family game cards work. Typically conversation cards for families require someone to answer in a way that is telling about oneself. However, for a fun twist, in this know your family? game, the fun questions are not introspective. Instead, they require a player to ask interesting questions and the rest of the family answers the questions in observance of the person asking the question.

Let’s look at a few family trivia card questions…

Question: Who is my favorite teacher?
Question: Which song do I know the most words to?
Question: If I could have a superpower, what would it be?

If a family member gets the right answer, they get to keep the card.

Mini Family Challenges

To step up the excitement, there are competitive challenges in this fun card game for families. This allows, in addition to questions, a little bit of friendly competition and action via fun challenges to do at home.

These fun challenges include supplies found in the home but if there is something you do not have, it can easily be replaced with something else so there is no need to buy more than the game itself.

Examples of family-friendly challenge cards include…

Action: Start at a table with chairs. At go, all players must get up and run around the house. The first player back to their chair wins the card.
Action: All players fold paper airplanes. The paper plane that flies the furthest gets to keep the card.
Action: See which player can stack the most coins in 30 seconds using only one hand. The winner takes the card.

In each of these frantic family fun competitions, the winner is the first person to finish and takes the card.

Do You Know Your Family Game Instructions

Now that you are ready to play, it’s important to know the instructions. The how well do you know your fam game instructions are rather simple. The game objective is to collect the most cards by the time the game is through.

To begin, download and print the do you really know me questions and actions. There is an editable page you can use to personalize your own questions and challenges. Once printed, you may choose to laminate your family game card set. This will help you reuse the set over and over. (However, if you don’t, save it to your computer to print as often as you would like.)

Cut your set of cards up to create a deck of cards. You may divide your conversation starter cards and action cards by card type or keep them as one complete set.

Start with the youngest player. Allow them to draw a card from the deck and ask a question or offer a family challenge. In challenges, the first to complete the challenge correctly gets the card. In game questions, the first to answer correctly gets to keep the card.

Make sure everyone has equal playing time. Go around the circle until you exhaust the deck or reach a time limit. At the end of the game, count your cards.

The player that has the most cards wins the game and REALLY KNOWS THEIR FAMILY!

You can twist up this game in various ways. Ideas for playing include…

Play kids vs parents – which set of family members will get the glory of the win?
Play vs the clock – create rapid-fire questions with each answer or challenge having a time limit.
Play in pairs – pair up players especially if younger players might need older kids or adults to help them.
Play in teams – this can be boys verse girls, age groups, generations, and more

Before we begin, game nights for families are usually a part of a tradition.

Ready to spread joy this spring season? Just like You’ve Been Booed and You’ve Been Elfed, why not something fun for the spring holiday? Leave this “You’ve Been Egged!” Easter gift idea on someone’s yard this weekend! Read on for the full details so you can start a fun Easter tradition surprise Easter Egg hunt with your family and friends!

I have good news. With this Easter tradition, Egging does not refer to the act of throwing eggs at houses, cars, or people. This is the act of paying it forward with a random act of kindness… no malicious and foolish egging someone on here! Let’s learn more about what does you’ve been egged mean?

What is You Have Been Egged?

Have you ever been boo-ed? If so you will recognize the idea of this Easter activity. You’ve Been Egged is a fun spring tradition to spread the Easter spirit. It’s the act of surprising unsuspecting neighbors and friends with a small Easter egg hunt and fun surprises.

Similar to ding-dong-ditch only by leaving behind a fun treat for others to enjoy. With this cute idea, friends, family, and neighbors leave unsuspected gifts on someone’s doorstep or yard. They ring the doorbell and allow the recipient to discover the Easter surprise. Then, the lucky receiver is expected to pay it forward in a similar fashion to another person in the neighborhood (or group of friends.)

Wondering how you’ve been egged works? Let me explain the supplies and instructions so you too can do this fun Easter activity this spring.

What’s Needed for You’ve Been Egged Gift

You’ve been egged is a fun easter tradition for family and friends. Ready to begin the fun Easter activity? Grab these you’ve been egged supplies.

Supplies

A few supplies are needed for this fun Easter surprise.

Regular Printer Paper (or cardstock – we like this one.)
We’ve Been Egg / You’ve Been Egged Easter Sign printables (see below)
12 Plastic Easter Eggs
Small trinkets or candy for fillers

That is all that is needed. However, you can make a larger Easter gift by adding an Easter basket.

Gift Basket Ideas

For this activity, no Easter basket is needed. You simply need the right number of eggs (12) and the printable set. However, if you want to include a special treat, a gift basket can hold a fun surprise and the “you’ve been egged” door sign. Just lay it on the front porch and ring the doorbell and run.

Ideas for the Easter eggs or an Easter basket gift might include…

Peeps
Chocolate Eggs
Easter Candy
Temporary Tattoos
Small Trinkets
Stickers
Bracelets
Hot chocolate bombs
Craft Supplies
Nail polish
Bath items
Play-doh
Bubbles
Slime
Sidewalk chalk

The Dollar Tree is a great place to pick up Easter Egg fillers and small goodies.

Now for the you’ve been egged directions.

How Do You Egg Your Friends?

It’s incredibly easy to egg your friends. Once you have your supplies make sure you print extra copies of the “you’ve been egged, we’ve been egged” printable set. This will help your friends pass along the fun.

To play, put your dozen treat-filled Easter eggs together with fun treats, small trinkets, and/or prizes. Grab your copies (and tape if you want to hang the You’ve Been Egged sign on your friend’s door. Alternatively, you can make this you’ve been egged yard sign by taping the paper to a yardstick or ruler.

When you arrive at your neighbor or friend’s house, the goal is to arrive when they are home. Incognito is the key! Quietly create your Easter egg hunt with 12 hidden eggs on your friend’s lawn or front yard. Once that is done, lay down your small easter basket (if there is one) on your neighbor’s doorstep. Then quickly creep up to the house and ring the doorbell or knock very hard. Then run back to your house or car and go. You don’t want them o see you and know who egged their home.

So they can pass along the fun, the directions for egging and passing along the game are included in the Easter printable sign. They will know how to play based on your actions as well as we’ve been egged printable instructions.

First, the printable set reads…

12 Eggs have been hidden in your yard, filled with sweets and treats from us to you! Enjoy the hunt!

Instructions

The instructions write.

Keep the fun going!

1. Place the “we’ve been egged” sign in your window or on your door.
2. Fill plastic eggs with a variety of small sweets and treats. Surprise a family member, friend, or neighbor who hasn’t
  been egged yet.

Remember to make an extra copy of these instructions & “We’ve been egged” sign for the next participant.

This is fun for the Eater season. If RAKs (random acts of kindness) are your jam, continue the fun in your neighborhood in November and December too. Take a look at the You’ve Been Elfed Christmas and You’ve Been Boo-ed Halloween Printable Set.

Now let the fun begin! Don’t put all your eggs in one basket with your Easter traditions and Easter Egg Hunt ideas. Try something new with an easy you’ve been egged printable. Your kids will love this spring activity.

Let’s spread Easter cheer!

More Easter Traditions

Easter is a very special holiday. First, it is set apart from the fall and winter holidays. Second, it is less commercialized. Because of this, you can really use this spring holiday to stand out. By choosing the right Easter traditions for your family, you can enjoy both Easter Games and Easter Activities that really share the message of the season. The life and death of Jesus Christ.

Fun traditions for an Easter celebration might include…

From Easter Scavenger Hunts to Easter Minute To Win it Games, to Bible Verses and Lent traditions… there is something for everyone! Why not try a few new family traditions this year? We bet the whole family loves trying something new.

First, let’s start with an Easter Treasure Hunt. Perhaps allow your kids to spread the love of egging the yard of a neighbor or friend and then in return reward them with their own Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt at home. Pin to Pinterest.

I personally love One Minute Games. They are fast-paced which makes them perfect for ice breakers, Sunday School, Youth Group, or even Easter parties. These Easter Minute to Win it Games include eggs, peeps, and plenty of Easter-themed supplies. Download, print, and play. Pin to Pinterest too!

Want to keep the Christian meaning of the Easter season? Take a look at these 40 Easter Bible Verses. Use for the 40 days of Advent, Holy Week, or read on Good Friday or Easter Sunday. These are easy-to-read Easter Scripture verses appropriate for kids. Christians can discuss the empty tomb and pair this idea with Christian Easter crafts like our resurrection rolls and Easter gardens. Pin to Pinterest.

So here is a fun idea. When you egg a neighbor’s yard, why not add these Resturreciton Eggs Bible Verses too? This Resurrection Eggs printable has Bible verses about Christ’s resurrection. These Easter scripture cards tell the Easter story in a fun way. Pair with one dozen plastic Easter eggs for a cute Christian Easter craft. You can grab both the 40 Kid’s Bible Verses Let and Ressurection Eggs Bible Verses printable in one set. Pin to Pinterest.
