Washington, D.C. —
As the White House Easter Egg Roll approaches, the White House Historical Association is offering new resources and virtual activities as a compliment to this springtime tradition. The educational games and activities can be completed online with a chance to win an Official 2023 White House Easter Egg Set.
“The Egg Roll is one of the most historic events at the White House and we are thrilled to make this springtime event accessible to the public through digital resources and learning tools that teach and tell the story of White House history,” said Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association.
New games and activities offered this year include:
A Virtual White House Springtime scavenger hunt using a 360-degree virtual tour of the White House. The activity includes fun facts about the history of the Easter Egg Roll, the White House, and the people and pets who have lived in the Executive Mansion. The interactive egg hunt challenges players to find eight “fun facts” about the history of the Easter Egg Roll and other springtime traditions placed throughout the Executive Mansion. A “fill in the blank” worksheet can be completed when all the “fun facts” are located. Completed worksheets can be submitted for a chance to win an Official 2023 White House Easter Egg Set.

First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy envisioned a restored White House that conveyed a sense of history through its decorative and fine arts. She sought to inspire Americans, especially children, to explore and engage with American history and its presidents. In 1961, the nonprofit, nonpartisan White House Historical Association was established to support her vision to preserve and share the Executive Mansion’s legacy for generations to come. Supported entirely by private resources, the Association’s mission is to assist in the preservation of the state and public rooms, fund acquisitions for the White House permanent collection, and educate the public on the history of the White House. Since its founding, the Association has given more than $115 million to the White House in fulfillment of its mission.
