Egg Hunts
On Easter morning children search for the eggs that the Easter Bunny has hidden while they were asleep. Eggs are hidden throughout the house or garden and sometimes there will be a special prize for the child finding the most eggs.

Egg Rolling
Eggs are rolled downhill as a symbol of the stone being rolled away from the tomb where Jesus was laid. The rules of an Easter Egg Roll are to see who can roll an egg the greatest distance or can roll their egg without breaking it, usually down a grassy hillside or slope.
One of the most famous egg rolling traditions is held on the south lawn of the White House on Easter Monday. This dates back to 1878 when President Rutherford B Hayes allowed children to have access to the lawns. They brought their own baskets and eggs and enjoyed simple games, including the rolling of a hard-boiled decorated egg across the lawn. The President, First Lady and other celebrities traditionally greet the children, who receive collectible wooden eggs at the end of the day.
