Easter is coming. Until a few weeks ago, most families were still in safety – by then the corona crisis would have calmed down again. But the virus has a different plan. And the federal government does not foresee any easing of exit restrictions and contact bans before April 20. This is important and a good thing, after all it is about human life. Avoiding all contacts is also important to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
A little melancholy still arises. And that is completely normal. After all, many families had been looking forward to a party together. Now you are at a loss for a long weekend that suddenly seems less festive than bleak. No reason to blow tribulation: We will show you five ways that you can celebrate Easter with the family this year despite the corona crisis – different, but no less beautiful.
5 ways to celebrate Easter despite the corona crisis
Bake together
We were so looking forward to the Easter wreath … Then we bake it too! Mother, grandma or aunt will finally show you how you can bake a yeast wreath by video. Opens a video call and cakes. The feeling of togetherness is there immediately!
Baking Easter wreath: it's that easy
Send and hide Easter eggs
The Easter Bunny is also in quarantine this year – he is careful not to spread the corona virus. That's why he sends packages. This story not only helps children understand the situation, it also creates a great alternative to finding Easter eggs. Send each other small Easter surprises in the family and become Easter bunnies.
Digital scavenger hunt
Now it's getting a little more difficult. Because creativity is required in the corona crisis. If you have children yourself, hide the Easter eggs in your own four walls. Then join the grandparents and let them lead the children – because they have received tips from the Easter Bunny Center. So everyone is involved in the search. Alternatively, you can hide small surprises in shared gardens and create a puzzle plan for the family member – or record a video message.
Coffee wreath 2020
Nobody has to do without the fully covered Easter table: every family member bakes a cake and you make a digital coffee wreath! Set up your laptops, start a video call and take your time for each other.
Easter gnomes
Why do we only imitate at Christmas? A new tradition starts for a funny Easter: send a part of your Easter decoration a week before Easter and let it move in together. On Easter weekend everyone has a colorful mix of Easter eggs, figurines and serviettes for the whole family – and you can see them on video.
Here you will find ideas to make Easter decorations yourself
With a bit of humor, by the way, it also goes wonderfully with friends – with a round of scrap Easter we will finally get rid of our own slippery decoration…
