Materials
Large bag of Easter Jelly Beans and a roll of paper towels. Jelly Beans should be in equal numbers for each color.

Game Preparation
1. Form two teams and assign each team one or two colors of Jelly Beans. You can have as many teams as you have colors of Jelly Beans.
2. On the floor at one end of the room, unroll a several foot long strip of paper towels. Spread the Jelly Beans randomly over the entire length of paper towels and then have the teams line up at the other end of the room.

Game Objective
The objective is to be the first team to remove all the Jelly Beans of their assigned color.

Game Play
1. One at a time, team members rush to the paper towels, and bend down and use their teeth to pick up one Jelly Bean (team colors only and no hands allowed).
2. Once they have a Jelly Bean in their teeth, they stand back up, run back to their team.
3. They must then show the candy in their mouth to the next person in line, who shouts out the color.
4. If the color’s wrong, the person must eat the candy and then go back and get another peice of candy of the correct color. When the color is correct, the person eats his/her candy and the next person goes to the paper towels and repeats the process.

Variation
Combine this with Jelly Bean Salvation for a fun Easter Gospel presentation.

Materials
1. A Hard-Boiled Easter Egg for each team. You might also have a few eggs as spares in case some or dropped and mutilated beyond use.
2. 2 Spoons for each team

Game Objective
Place the egg on the spoon and run to the opposite end of the room and back without dropping it.

Game Preparation
1. Divide the group into teams of an even number. If one or more teams is short a player, have a person on those teams go twice to even out the number.
2. Provide the egg and spoon to each team.

Game Play
1. Teams must place the egg on the spoon and run to the opposite side of the room and back.
2. If the egg is dropped, they must return to the starting line and begin again.
3. If the run is completed successfully the egg is passed to the next person who has the second spoon who then also runs the relay. The first person then passes the spoon to the next person in line and goes to the end of the line.
4. The first team to have all members complete the relay is the winner.

Variation
Use plastic spoons and have the participants hold the spoon in their mouths. As the egg is a little bit heavy this makes the game exceedingly more difficult.

Variation
Use a raw egg for messy fun!
