How it works

These Easter icebreaker questions ask for a pick, an idea or a spring memory, never whether someone celebrates. Topics fit a family lunch, a church small group or a team meeting, with two more on egg hunts and treats.

Pick the topic for the room

Easter at church holds 11 cards drawn from John 20 and Luke 24, such as Mary knew Jesus when he said her name. Who knows you by your voice alone? Easter at work keeps to eggs, treats and the long weekend, with nothing about faith.

Egg games the cards borrow

Egg tapping is two players striking eggs together until one cracks; egg rolling races eggs down a hill. Both are old Easter games, and Eggs and egg hunts asks how you would play them.

Tips
  • With more than ten people, press Multiple choice and count hands: its 17 cards give three options or fewer.

Questions and answers

Are there Easter icebreaker questions for a Bible study?

Yes: the 11 Easter at church cards. The ones drawn from the resurrection accounts carry the verses in the note under each question in the list, read in the World English Bible.

Which Easter questions work for a team meeting?

The 11 Easter at work cards, such as What is a project that is hatching this spring? None mentions faith, and none asks whether or how anyone celebrates the holiday.

Why does the spring icebreaker deck have no Easter cards?

Easter moves every year and not everyone keeps it, so the spring deck leaves it out. This deck holds the Easter cards, and no card or note on it prints a date.

How this list was compiled

Written by the Game Night Generator editors for this page in September 2026; no list was copied. Every card can be answered in under a minute with no wrong answer, and none asks whether or how a person celebrates Easter: they ask for a pick, an idea or a memory of spring. Every card was screened against the site's clean-deck rules (nothing sexual, no alcohol or drugs, nothing about bodies, money or relationships, nothing aimed at a protected group). The egg games are described from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg, read on 2026-09-23: egg hunts, egg rolling down hillsides, and egg tapping, in which players strike eggs against each other. The Easter at church cards follow the World English Bible, John 20 and Luke 24, read at https://ebible.org/eng-web/JHN20.htm and https://ebible.org/eng-web/LUK24.htm on 2026-09-23; the note under each gives the verses. Easter moves every year, so no card or note prints a date. Licence: own work
