Easter is the perfect time to add some hands-on, engaging fun to your classroom! Whether you’re looking for low-prep crafts, literacy activities, or movement-based games, these Easter activities will keep your K-1 students excited and learning.
Egg Hunt Craftivity
Combine creativity and excitement with an Easter Egg Hunt Craftivity. Students can design and decorate their own paper eggs, as well as weave their own baskets and create origami bows. (There are pictured filled tutorials for both the *kid-friendly* origami bow and the paper basket weaving included.)
Start the lesson telling your students, “A bunny got stuck in a basket! Oh my!” This one always gives us all a giggle! Besides the craftivity, you can extend the fun with:
- Writing Pages – 4 prompts available with both primary and secondary lines
- Acrostic Poem – color and black & white
- Word Search
- 2 ABC Order Worksheets

“Spring Is Here!” Emergent Reader
