Fun Easter Activities For Kids

The lead up to Easter is an exciting time for kids so you may want some fun Easter activities to keep them busy, happy and settled in this exciting time. There are loads of activities that you do with kids that are not only fun but are also educational. When you choose Easter activities for kids at home or at school, you may as well choose something that will not just let them have fun but it will also help them to learn and grow.

There are many, many worthwhile craft Easter activities for kids of all ages. Design an Easter card or get creative with eggs. Try painting eggs, dyeing eggs or even making picture with crushed dyed, crushed egg shells. Decorating egg shapes is also a great Easter activity for kids of all ages. Just cut out an egg shape from card and the kids can cover it with bands of bright, colorful, crumpled pieces of paper. Kids can also be encouraged to decorate an egg shape with bands of patterns and to keep the patterns symmetrical.

One of the few craft activities that I remember doing myself as a child was actually done after Easter as we needed the beautiful, foil paper that the Easter eggs are wrapped in. We glued pieces of paper all over a jar to cover the outside of the entire jar. We then varnished it when it was dry and the result was a really beautiful jar that could be used for any purpose. This special Easter activity for kids to do after Easter is wonderful way to encourage recycling of jars and Easter egg wrappers.

Once you have tried some craft with the kids there are also loads of puzzles and games that can be tried. Why not make your own Easter board game? The kids can enjoy making the game board and inventing the game and then afterwards they can enjoy actually playing the game. This Easter activity will also bring out their creative side.

Easter Bingo is another fun Easter activity for kids to play again and again. They can make their own bingo cards with Easter words and then play Easter bingo with the cards. The caller can have all of the words on small cards and draw them out one by one.

Next try an Easter puzzle. One that is really simple is to organize is an Easter Bunny Word Scramble. Use the words 'Easter Bunny' or the word 'Chocolate'.

Give each person a pencil and paper and have them write either 'Easter Bunny' or 'Chocolate'. They then write down as many words as they can think of that can be made using the letters contained in the words 'Easter bunny' or 'Chocolate'.

A prize is given to the person who comes up with the most words and also to the person who has the longest word. Off course the best prize for this game is a Chocolate Easter Egg or Easter Bunny!

Another great Easter puzzle is to make your own word search filled with Easter words. The kids can also practice their spelling skills by playing Hangman with Easter words. You might like to change the Hangman to something with an Easter theme like a bunny or an Easter basket.

Well I hope this has given you loads and loads of ideas for Easter Activities for kids. Happy Easter!

Having Fun With Kids Easter Activities

One of the best things about holidays is the enthusiasm that kids have. This enthusiasm offers many opportunities for kids to learn while they have fun. There are many kids' Easter activities that are more than just fun and games. They are also opportunities to learn and develop skills and creativity.

There are some great outdoor Easter activities for kids that just need you to add an egg or two and you can have egg and spoon races, egg throwing competitions, egg hunts and egg relays. For the egg and spoon races have the kids race as they carry an egg on a spoon. To make the races even more interesting create an obstacle course that requires them to go up, down, in, out, through and around different obstacles. If they can't all race at once, time each person individually to see how long it takes them to complete the course.

The egg throwing competition can be done in pairs. Give each pair an egg and stand them a short distance apart. Partners have to throw and catch between them. Any pair that drops an egg is eliminated. The partners then move one step further apart and repeat. See how far apart the winning pair can be stand while still throwing and catching.

Of course egg hunts are a big favorite at Easter. Hide real eggs or Easter eggs for children to find. A wonderful kids' Easter activity is to turn an egg hunt into a treasure hunt with clues leading them from place to place. The final clue can lead to the 'treasure' which can be prizes or Easter eggs and candy.

Relays can also be played with eggs. Convert an egg and spoon race to a relay and you have a fun and active Easter activity. Be creative and you will come up with other ways to incorporate eggs into relay races.

But Easter fun doesn't have to stop outdoors. There are also loads of great kids' Easter activities that can be done indoors. Easter crafts can include making Easter wreaths, Easter cards, Easter baskets and decorating eggs or dyeing eggs.

Easter games are also a great kids' Easter activity for the indoors. Make your own Easter board games, Easter bingo games or play a few Easter word games. To make your own Easter board games, you need some card and colored pens and a bit of imagination. Make a 'Snakes and Ladders' style game but use 'Bunnies and Eggs' instead. Your board game could also be a track style game that races bunnies around a board from the start to the finish. Add a few 'hazard squares' and 'reward squares' to the board and then just roll the dice to see how far to move on each turn and race each other to the finish.

You can also make Bingo cards that are filled with Easter words and then play Easter Bingo. You might also like to try a Easter version of the game 'Hangman' for a word game. Another great word game is to use a word like 'chocolate' and then compete to see who can make the most words using the letters in the word 'chocolate'. This is a simple Easter activity to organize and it will also get kids really thinking. It doesn't matter whether you are indoors or outdoors, there are loads of fun kids' Easter activities that you can do with the kids. Just use your imagination and the possibilities are endless!
