ABC Countdown to the Last Day of School: Letter Ee is for Easter Day

Letter Ee is for Easter!

Here are ten fun and engaging ideas for our ABC Countdown: Easter Day in Kindergarten:

1. Easter Egg Hunt: Organize a traditional Easter egg hunt, either indoors or outdoors, where children can search for plastic eggs filled with small treats, stickers, or toys.
2. Easter Crafts: Set up craft stations where children can make Easter-themed crafts like decorating egg-shaped cutouts, creating bunny masks, or making Easter baskets using construction paper and other materials.
3. Easter Storytime: Read Easter-themed books such as “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” by Beatrix Potter or “The Easter Egg” by Jan Brett. Discuss the stories and their characters with the children.
4. Egg Decorating: Provide hard-boiled eggs and various decorating supplies like markers, stickers, and dye kits. Let the children decorate their own Easter eggs to take home.
5. Bunny Hop Relay: Organize a bunny hop relay race where children can wear bunny ears and hop to the finish line. This is a fun way to get them moving and enjoying the holiday spirit.
6. Planting Seeds: Teach children about new beginnings and growth by planting seeds in small pots. They can decorate the pots and watch their plants grow over the weeks following Easter.
7. Easter Snacks: Have a snack-making session where children can create fun, Easter-themed treats like bunny-shaped sandwiches, fruit and veggie bunnies, or decorating cupcakes with pastel colors and sprinkles.
8. Easter Parade: Organize a mini Easter parade where children can dress up in spring-themed outfits, bunny ears, or homemade costumes. They can march around the classroom or playground showing off their Easter spirit.
9. Story of Easter: Share a simple, age-appropriate story about the meaning of Easter. Depending on your setting, you can choose to focus on the religious aspect or the cultural traditions associated with the holiday.
10. Easter Games: Play Easter-themed games such as “Pin the Tail on the Bunny,” egg and spoon races, or an Easter-themed bingo. These games add a fun, competitive element to the celebration.
