Easter activities

Date: 10th Apr 2020 @ 12:23pm

Hello FS1, did you do my nature quiz yesterday? 

The plants I saw on my walk were daisies, holly, daffodils and dandelions. The birds I saw were geese, ducks, a beautiful swan and a robin. Did you get them right? 

Today I have some fun activities and games you can play at home this Easter.

Bunny fun

Get messy and create fingerprint bunnies. Dip the tips of your thumb and fingers in paint, and use your fingerprints to create a bunny head and body. Add ears and other details with a pen, one the paint has dried.

You could put your finished Easter rabbits up in your windows, use them as Easter cards or make a family keepsake – why not repeat this activity each year and put them all in a memory box?

It’s race time

Have a family egg and spoon race! Hard-boiled eggs will make less mess – and you can eat them afterwards. If you can’t find eggs at the moment, you could use cotton wall balls, small fruit or potatoes instead.

Set a start and finish line, and race as fast as you can, making sure your egg doesn’t roll off the spoon. Get creative with your race course – it doesn’t need to be a straight line. And if your egg does fall, then you need to go back and start again.

A spoon full of sugar

This fun game is a sweet challenge for any number of players.

First fill a bowl with little sweets or chocolates and put it on a steady surface at one end of the room. Each player needs a spoon and a cup.

Take it in turns for players to take the spoon and fill their cup with as many sweet treats as they can… the twist is that the spoon must be held in their mouth whenever it touches the sweets! Who can collect the most goodies?

Happy Easter everyone!
