Easter Egg Hunt

During my first year of teaching, my co-worker gave me an awesome Easter Egg Hunt for my class to use.  It was a picture that needed to be completed.  Students found an egg, read the directions inside, and followed the directions to complete their picture.  I thought it was brilliant!  I loved that it wasn't just a "for fun" activity.  It involved reading/listening.  I used that activity every year... until this year.  My only copy left was so badly photocopied (and beyond outdated) that I had no other choice but to make my own

I put together an Easter picture for students to complete.  I typed up 24 directions to hide in plastic eggs around the room.  When I taught first grade, I had one student at a time find an egg and read us the directions.  This year, I am going to number the directions and let them find them on their own.  I including a recording sheet, so they could see what numbers they still needed to find.  

Included in this packet are:
-an Easter picture scene for students to complete
-24 directions (in 4 formats, including color/bw)
-a recording sheet for independent students

If you would like more directions, or something else added to this activity, please let me know!  I'd be happy to update it!  :)  

If you follow me on instagram, I had a flash freebie for this one today!  It just might happen again, so keep your eyes peeled!  :)

If you missed it, I'll give it away to the first two people to comment on this post!

Happy {almost} Easter!

Happy Easters

{can you tell I'm on spring break?!} 

Last week was so crazy, I didn't get as many Easter activities finished as I wanted to.  We'll have to catch up a bit tomorrow.  Here's a bit of our Easter fun. 

Painting Easter Eggs


Every hour or so, I picked a well-behaved child to wear these bunny ears.  It worked amazingly.  :)

Simple Graph Art Mystery Picture






We Egged our Principal.

This idea came from Lesson Plan SOS
Each child wrote a letter to our principal using "egg" words {egg-cellent, egg-cited}.  We put them in the eggs, decorated, and left some treats.  The kids LOVED it!  I made my own sign and writing paper. 




Chicks and Rabbits Graphing


I searched everywhere for Bunny Mallows to use with this activity.  I went to four different stores and couldn't find them anywhere.  I did, however, find Chicks and Rabbits.  So I made my own graphing sheet to use with it.  Good times. 


Tomorrow we will finish up these adorable Easter Bunny's and writing activity.  Then we will officially be done with Easter and moving on to Earth Day.  :)
