Memory Match

Use egg halves to hide pairs of items, such as paper clips, coins, buttons, and beads. (Try not to use the same color egg for matching items.) To play, have a player uncover two objects. If they're the same, he takes them; if they're different, he re-covers them and it's the next player's turn. The player with the most matches wins.

Egg-cellent Reading Game

"We always have extra plastic Easter eggs lying around, so my 11-year-old created a spelling game with them. She writes different common word endings, such as "at" or "ed," on one half of each egg and different consonants on the other side. My 6-year-old twists the eggs to make new words and to practice reading."
