If you need Easter activities for the classroom, you will find that you have many different activities from which to choose. You may like to have the children create Easter crafts but there are also many other educational Easter activities that are suitable for the classroom.

Easter Riddle Match

The children can be involved in preparing this Easter activity for the classroom. They can start by finding about 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 then be used to play a Memory style game with 2 - 4 players. The cards are spread out face down on a table. The players take turns at turning over two cards and reading them both. If they have a matching riddle and answer they get to keep the pair and have another turn. The winner will be the player who has the most pairs when all of the cards have been matched.

Easter Egg Jumble

This is an Easter activity for the classroom that helps kids to practice math. To make this puzzle cut out several large egg shapes. On each egg write the numbers and signs from a mathematical equation putting them in a random order. The children have to rearrange the numbers and signs from 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 on an egg, these would be unjumbled to make 3 x 9 = 27.

Easter Sentence Jumble
