You may like children to create Easter crafts, but there are also many other educational Easter activities that are suitable for the classroom.

Easter riddle match

Children can participate in preparing this Easter activity for the classroom. They can start by finding 10-15 Easter riddles. Once they have found the riddles, each riddle is written on a separate card and each answer is written on a separate card. These cards can be used to play a Memory style game with 2 to 4 players. The cards are spread face down on a table. Players take turns turning over two cards and reading them. If they have a matching puzzle and answer, they keep the pair and have another turn. The winner will be the player with the most pairs when all the cards have been matched.

Easter Egg Jumble

This is an Easter activity for the classroom that helps children practice math. To make this puzzle, cut out several large egg shapes. On each egg, write the numbers and signs of a mathematical equation, placing them in a random order. Children have to rearrange the numbers and signs on each egg to make a true equation. You can use this to practice simple addition equations or more complex equations involving multiplication or division. If 3, 7, x, =, 9, and 2 are in an egg, they would split to make 3 x 9 = 27.

Jumble of Easter Prayers

To create this Easter activity for the classroom, you’ll start with a few Easter phrases. The teacher can write them down or each class member can create a sentence. It could be a prayer about Easter eggs, the Easter Bunny, or something the kids can do at Easter. To play Sentence Jumble, put the words together and then divide the letters into groups of three, four, or five letters. The children have to identify what the sentence is and write it correctly. Here’s one to try.
