How to celebrate Easter during lockdown
From fun family games to mouth-watering Easter treats, here is how you can still enjoy the holiday even under lockdown.
Easter is one of the most special holidays in South Africa.
During this time, families gather together to create great memories.
However, this year's Easter celebration is unlike any other because many people in different parts of the world, including South Africa, are under lockdown.
Here is how you can still ensure it is a fun-filled day even while at home with your family.
Decorate your house
Make your home look special by putting up Easter decor. From egg baskets, bunnies, and decorated eggs, there are so many fun things you can do to make your house feel eggs-tra special this Easter.
Here are fantastic Easter DIY home-decor ideas from the experts.
Games
Easter celebrations are never complete without the famous Easter egg hunt game.
This is just one example of an Easter game that families have enjoyed for decades.
The good thing with games is that they can be fun for the whole family.
One of the nice games to play as a family is bowling bunnies. You just need bunnies and a tiny tennis ball to play this game. Line up your bunnies - put some in front and some at the back. The rule is that you have to hit the bunnies with the tennis ball. The one who knocks over the most bunnies wins.
Another fun game is the bunny blind folder. This game is pretty simple - you just have to draw a bunny with your eyes blind-folded.
The last nice game you can play is the chocolate test game. The person who bought the chocolate cannot play the game, she or he can be the judge. How you play the game is simple. You give the same chocolate to all the participants and have them guess the flavour. The one who guesses the most flavours correctly wins.
