People of all ages come to play traditional Easter Games on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday in various areas of the island, whether in a plaza, a church, a schoolyard, or another open area. The games are mostly amusing and provide both mental and physical difficulties because many of them call for strength, stamina, and a sense of humour. Simple rules apply and little equipment is required for Easter games.
