Too often at Easter people tend to stay in small groups because it might have been a while since they have seen each other. Families grow and change over the years and often lose touch with one another. This game is a great way for your guests to mingle and catch up on what happening with each other! This game is also appropriate for church activities and Sunday school groups.

At the time planned to do your Easter game:

1)   As the guests arrive, have them pick a Game Piece from the bowl or whatever you have the Game Pieces in. (Alternative idea – place the puzzle piece squares in plastic Easter Eggs and have a Easter Egg hunt. Each guest finds one Easter Egg, and opens it to get their puzzle piece. Continue the game from this point.) 

2)   If there are more Game Pieces than guests, distribute the leftover Game Pieces as evenly as possible.

3)   Distribute the scissors and have the guests cut out their individual Game Piece. If you don’t have enough scissors, then have your guests share. (Alternative ideas: Have a cutting table set up and have each guest take turns going to the table to cut their puzzle piece.)

4)   Now, have the guests find their Jigsaw Puzzle Matches! Each guest must find the two or three other guests who have pieces that fit into the Game Piece.

5)   When a guest finds all the matches to their Game Piece, they put their Game Piece onto the Finished Puzzle. The first one wins a prize!  However, have everyone finish the game so that everyone has time to mingle. (If the game is being played by children, then have a party favor gift for each one as they put their puzzle piece on the finished puzzle.)
