Easter activities for school pupils, from cardmaking to posters.
In the UK, Easter is celebrated each year in the spring months of March and April. Although it began as a religious holiday celebrated by Christians, it has now become a nationwide holiday enjoyed by all. Having been named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess of fertility and the dawn, Eostre, it’s no surprise that Easter features eggs and new life as key themes.
During Easter people often celebrate by exchanging Easter eggs. The chocolate company Cadbury makes 500 million crème eggs every year! Easter is celebrated during the Easter school holidays, so teachers and students can do some fun activities together before students go on a break. Together, classes can make Easter cards, weave baskets, and learn more about Easter's history and customs. These activities can be both fun and educational.

When you think of Easter activities for preschoolers, think of things they can touch and feel, because that makes it more fun and interesting for them.

You want them to be curious and challenged, not discouraged and defeated. Here are 5 suggestions that you can easily put together with the help of Adobe Express:
- Design an easy picture Easter Bingo sheet and get your students to cross them off as you reveal different Easter items.
