Answer 6

A few ideas...:-)

Familiar Games with an Easter twist...

Play Easter Bunny, Easter Bunny, Where's You Egg? Played like the familiar game "Doggie, Doggie where's your bone?"

Cut-out a large paper egg.

The players form a circle with one child in the middle as "the Bunny" The Bunny covers their eyes while a player is selected TO SIT on the egg. Then the Children say...

"Easter Bunny, Easter Bunny, where's your egg?

Somebody stole it from your home!"

The Easter bunny has three guesses to find the

child who is sitting on the paper egg. That child then becomes

the new bunny in the middle.

Play the "Easter Bunny Says", instead of "Simon Says."..

Or---

Egg's Out

Play hot potato with a plastic Easter egg---play Easter music such as "Easter Parade" or "Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail" for the stop and go of the egg pass...

BUNNY HOP  

Use pieces of masking tape to make Bunny foot-prints all over the floor. Start playing some Easter music. Have children pretend to be Bunnies and hop around the room. When you stop the music, have the bunnies find footprints to stand on (one Bunny to a paw-print). When you start the music again, have the bunnies continue hopping around the room.

BUNNY WALK (Pre-K to Gr.1)

Play music of your choice and encourage the children to move like: BIG Bunnies, Little bunnies, Tired Bunnies, Happy Bunnies, Scared Bunnies, Etc.

JELLY BEAN PAINTING

Materials: Jellybeans, paint, paper, tape, a box

Directions: Place a piece of paper in a box (take the tape and roll a piece over--- place it on the back of the paper to keep the paper secure in the box...

Add small amounts of paint in each corner. Place a few jellybeans in the box and have the children move the box so that the jellybeans will roll through the paint and create an abstract design "work of art..." :-)

DO THE BUNNY POKEY!

Sung to: "Hokey Pokey"

You put your bunny ears in

(Place hands on head to make ears)

You put your bunny ears out.

You put your bunny ears in.

And you shake them all about.

You do the Bunny Pokey

And hop yourself around,

That's what it's all about!

Additional verses:

"You put your bunny nose in

You put your bunny tail in

You put your bunny paws in"

THUMB PRINT EASTER BASKETS

Need: Picture of an Easter Basket, Paint, and children's thumbs.

Draw or down-load a simple picture of an empty Easter basket. Put a variety of paints in shallow dishes and let the kids dip there thumbs and make Easter eggs in the basket!

Answer 7

easter games:

Stick the tail on the bunny (draw a simple bunny figure and use cotton balls with tape on them to stick the tail to his bottom)

for a craft : also using cotton balls have them make a fuzzy lamb. just take an outline of a sheep and stick the cotton balls to the sheep.

Answer 9

You can make Easter eggs..

It's just a cartoon oval shape and then they are going to paint on it to make their own easter eggs..They can paint it or color it (Crayons).. I think it will show How Creative Are They

Answer 10

The possibilities are nearly endless. You can...

Have them color a paper egg/bunny/bird/lamb

As Gina said-Easter Egg Hunt

Play a different version of "Doggy, Doggy, Who's Got Your Bone"-"Bunny, Bunny, Who's Got Your Carrot"

Have a mysterious visit from the "Easter Bunny", in which the children are told to wait outside for the Easter Bunny to come, and when they come back inside they find a little candy (Jolly Rancher, Hershey Kiss, a few Skittles, etc.) on their desk.

Read aloud a cute storybook, such as A Home For A Bunny.

Play Musical Chairs with Here Comes Peter Cottontail as the song.
