    Learning Games with Kids – Plastic Easter Egg Activities - 2013-04-06 04:00:00-04

Are you looking for new learning games with kids?

Do you have leftover plastic Easter eggs?

My kids loved hunting for Easter eggs…for weeks after Easter.  If possible, hide the eggs first. Let them hunt for the eggs and then do one of the following activities.

Easter Egg Activities

• Number eggs. Find odds and place them in number order. Use an egg carton to hold your eggs.
• Match clock with time
• Label eggs with letters so you have enough letters for your spelling words.  Call out your spelling list and let your child use the eggs to spell the words.  Place the word in your egg carton. If you don’t want to call the words yourself, use a program like Phonetic Zoo Spelling. Pop in the cd and they will call out your spelling list.
• Match states & capitals
• Match fraction with decimals.

Learning Games with Kids using Easter Eggs

• Match rhyming words
• Match capital letter with lower case letter
• Make compound words
• Work on fine motor skills by using your plastic Easter egg as a scoop.  Scoop up dried beans or sand or peanuts.  If you scoop up an item like beans or peanuts, have your child count how many they scoop each time.

More Learning Games with Kids using Easter Eggs

• Number your eggs by 5′s or 10′s or odds/evens. Hide the eggs.  Once your childrne find all the eggs, make a train of Easter eggs with the numbers in correct order.
• Sort your eggs by odd numbers & even numbers.
• Match stickers with words
• Match number with dots
• Fill eggs with different items. Let your child shake the egg and guess what is inside.
• Sort your eggs by color.

Give each child an egg carton to show his eggs when he has completed his task.
