This Easter drawing game is full of silly fun, colorful lines, and giggles! Grab a friend, some markers, and enjoy this joyful preschool Easter activity from top to bottom.
Kids LOVE this back-and-forth Easter drawing game
This Easter drawing game is a two-player art activity that starts with a simple egg outline and ends with a stunningly gorgeous pair of matching eggs.
From swirly lines to colorful zigzags, you’ll end up with “matching” eggs that are truly just the cutest.
We had a BLAST doing this Easter drawing game and couldn’t make or get enough.
What kids learn through copying and leading
Following someone else’s drawing builds observation, attention to detail, and focusing skills (all of which are wonderful skills for preschoolers to practice!).
Leading the drawing gives children a chance to express themselves and think creatively.
This back-and-forth rhythm introduces early concepts of symmetry, turn-taking, and visual memory.

How to play this Easter drawing game
Each player starts with the same blank egg outline and a set of colorful markers.
One person begins by drawing a line near the top of their egg—maybe it’s dotted, maybe it’s loopy, maybe it looks like a lightning bolt!
The second player copies that same line, using the same color and style, on their own egg.
Players continue back and forth, taking turns until their eggs are completely decorated.
Then, switch roles and start again!
