9 Fun Easter Ideas For a Creative Office Celebration in 2025

Although Easter is a religious holiday, you can use it as an opportunity to bring a little joy to the workplace and boost employee morale. From egg hunts and festive brunches to Easter office games and gift exchanges, here are the nine ideas to create a memorable Easter celebration for your coworkers.  

Team-building activities for a festive Easter celebration 

Brighten up your workspace

Prepare the office for your Easter party and create a festive atmosphere with some decorations. Use easy-to-remove Easter wall decals with bunnies, chicks, eggs, or good wishes to put everyone in the festive mood. Hang themed wreaths with pastel eggs and ribbons on your office’s door. 

Bring fresh plants and flowers to signal to everyone that spring is finally here! You can also ask everyone to bring décor of their choice to put on their desks to maintain the festive atmosphere in the entire office.  

Organize an office festive brunch 

Well, you cannot beat the classics. Who will refuse a traditional Easter brunch and special treats? As people enjoy festive dishes, they can chat and know each other better. Depending on the company’s budget, you can make a reservation in a restaurant nearby, set up an Easter buffet with snacks and treats, or plan a potluck. 

Consider the food preferences of your coworkers, as someone might be allergic to chocolate or eggs, or be vegan. Make sure that there are treats and dishes that everyone can relish.

Run an egg race 

This is a beloved game for families and kids and a great team-building activity. You can organize it in the hallway or the parking lot. Divide the players into teams of 3 or 4 and hand each team a spoon and a raw egg. On one, two, three, and go, each player runs to the finish line with an egg in the spoon and then returns to pass it to the next player. The first team that reaches the finish without breaking an egg wins. 

To add a twist to the game, you may vary the spoon size, change the method of racing (i.e. ask everyone to crawl to the finish), or replace the egg that falls with a new one, asking the player to start again. 

Run a Secret Easter Bunny gift exchange 

Hosting a Secret Santa on winter holidays has become a tradition in many companies. Why not exchange presents secretly this Easter, too? The Secret Easter Bunny exchange can bring even remote employees closer, boost holiday mood, and foster morale. 

To exchange presents, write everyone’s names on pieces of paper and draw them from the box to see who gives a present to whom. Or, better yet, use a gift exchange organizer, such as the MySanta app. 

Here’s how to organize the Secret Easter Bunny at work: 

1. Create a new game and invite participants using a link or QR code. 
2. Set a reasonable gift budget (for example, $10 or $15) focusing on the joy of giving, not on the value of the present.
3. When everyone joins it, draw names to decide who gives a gift to whom. 
4. Each player can secretly chat with their secret bunny and share their gift preferences. Plus, there are wishlists – add items you’d like to get and send it to your gift-giver. 
5. Everyone brings their gift to the office, unwrap them, and guess who gave it to them. A lot of laughter is guaranteed! 

In an online generator, you can invite unlimited players and set exceptions so that some employees don’t give to each other. Exchanging small, heartwarming presents is a great way to make your coworkers happier and celebrate the season.

Find the Easter words 

Word searches are terrific ice-breakers, as people think aloud, share their thoughts, and have fun, which can lead to true employee bonding. Plus, they’re quick and don’t require much preparation. You can give out printed cards to participants and award a small prize to the person who completes it first. Or, divide employees into small teams, encouraging them to compete against other groups. 

This popular festive activity is perfect for remote teams. Use an online app so that each employee can complete the puzzle and share the result with the rest.
