What Are Some Easter Activities for the Classroom?

What you do on Easter in the classroom may depend on where you are teaching, as this is a religious holiday for many. Explore this list of Easter activities from our teacher team, and choose the type that is right for your class of students!

1. Easter Egg Decorating — Students can decorate paper or plastic eggs with paint, markers, or other materials to create their own unique designs.
2. Easter Art Projects — Students can create Easter-themed art projects such as decorating a funky bunny, writing Easter cards, building Easter baskets (this makes a great STEM activity!), or completing Easter-themed crafts.
3. Easter Egg Hunting — You may like to organise an Easter egg hunt for students in your classroom or around the school, where they can search for plastic eggs filled with candy or small toys.
4. Easter Research Projects — Students can research the history and cultural significance of Easter and present their findings to the class.

It is important to note that not all students will be able to participate in these activities, and some may have different approaches depending on their religious or cultural background.
