Easter Trivia

Easter is an annual celebration that is eagerly anticipated by many around the globe (particularly children) and often for varying reasons. Perhaps it is a chance to gather with family, attend a church service or enjoy an Easter egg or two (or three).

We have compiled some Easter Trivia (suitable for children and adults) which can be used to challenge your family and friends and see who can get the most correct answers. These questions could also be used in an elaborate Easter Egg hunt for older kids with each correct clue leading to the next!
