Easter Activites

Happy Easter to Everyone! I hope you all have a great day with your families and in the meantime I wanted to share this cute idea I found for making the Easter holiday educational.
Click here to view the entry I found this idea from!
This activity can be modified easily for different grade levels, different content, or even just to suit your personal taste!  This is a matching game with an Easter twist, I couldn't find a picture but along with this egg carton you would need 12 plastic eggs (or I saw some cute plastic bunnies and chicks that would work well), each with a number on it and the students take turns matching the numbers.  This is a great game for kindergarteners or first graders, who need some practice.I also found some different variations for higher grades, 3-5th depending on the content you need.
 

Here are some suggestions...
  • Take 2 different colored pom poms and toss them into the carton. 
  • Then, depending on your grade have the students...
    • Tell which number is larger or smaller
    • Add/subtract/multiply/divide the numbers
