My mum says lany poniedzialek is still very popular, especially among the young ones. And “sprinkling” is a bit of an uderstatement – we’re talking bucketloads of water all over the girls’ perfectly made-up faces (and their dresses, and their new shoes, too). My dad’s from Kaszuby and there’s a different tradition there: instead of water they use a juniper twig and “tickle” each other. May I add the “tickling” is fairly painful and I don’t miss it at all

I like the Polish Easter game called “Wybitki” which is a sort of an “egg fight”.
Two participants hold a boiled egg each and tap them in order to break the opponent’s egg while keeping their own egg intact.
Have you tried it?

Happy Easter!
