Easter Wreaths
Another Easter craft activity is to create wreaths. These can be made on a paper plate with a ring cut out of the center. First cover the wreath with straw or spray paint it silver or gold. Then decorate it with flowers, fluffy toy chickens, eggs, ribbons or cutouts of colored egg shapes that have been decorated. Add a ribbon to the top to hang it from and you have your own unique wreath.

Easter Bingo
There are lots of different types of games that are suitable for Easter. Create an Easter version of bingo by using Easter pictures or words. This is one of the kids Easter activities that is ideal as a classroom activity.

Easter Games
The kids can also make their own Easter board games with construction card and markers. These can then be decorated with stickers, glitter or pictures. Once they are finished the kids can enjoy playing their game.


Easter Relays
If you are looking for more active kids Easter activities, you might like to try relays, Easter themed races or egg hunts. The classic egg and spoon race is perfect for Easter and can also be held as a relay.

Easter Bowling
Another fun Easter game is Easter bowling. Give each child a different colored egg. It can be either a dyed, hard boiled egg or a foil wrapped Easter egg. Now roll a plain egg along the floor or the ground. The kids can take turns at rolling their eggs as close as possible to the plain egg. The person whose egg is closest is the winner.

Easter Cooking
Another fun kids Easter activity is to have the children make chocolates. Rocky Road is simple to make and a favorite to eat! Firstly melt the chocolate. Then add marshmallows and jelly candies. This can be spooned out in large chunks or set in the bowl and then refrigerated. It will take a while to set in the refrigerator if it is set in the bowl. If it is set in the bowl, turn it out in a large lump and cut into pieces. It is best for an adult to cut this though.
