What you need for educational Easter egg games

  1. Easter eggs!  If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll notice that this is one of the few times that I have posted plastic toys.  We got a bag of Easter Eggs from a friend whose children had outgrown Easter eggs, and our church has been giving them out at Sunday School.  Otherwise, we are trying to minimize plastic consumption.  For environmentally-friendly alternatives, you can:
    1. Buy beautiful (though expensive) wooden Easter eggs from Etsy!
    2. Make felt Easter Eggs with pockets from Small Wonders
    3. Create paper Easter eggs with a free printable from Think Crafts

Educational Easter egg games that teach reading and math!

These Easter egg activities are great for teaching Chinese, Korean, English, and math at school and home!

Easter Egg reading Korean words and Hangul alphabet

Word scavenger hunt

One of our first Easter Egg games consisted of a scavenger hunt for different Korean words!

To make reading fun, we put a small Post-It note with a Korean word in each egg.

At that time, I added a sticker related to the word to serve as a visual prompt in case my daughter was unsure of the word.  (In hindsight, I would have put it on the back of the Post-It).

On a separate sheet of paper was a checklist of all of the Korean words that we needed to find.

We were excited to see who could find the most eggs containing the words!

Easter Egg reading Chinese games

Sentence scavenger hunt

Last year, we copied sentences from books we are reading (eg, 复活节 (Easter) by Gail Gibbons in the image below).

My children had so much fun searching for the eggs, and my oldest, who was 4 at the time, was excited to see what sentences she would get!

Easter message writing practice

This year, my daughter was much more involved with the Easter Egg game preparation!

In fact, she had her own plans for what she wanted me to write with her!

I couldn’t help but take many pictures of her adorable kid handwriting – can you spot which ones are hers?

Math practice

This year, on the back of each Easter egg message, we wrote random numbers.

I went for single digits while my daughter wrote as many numbers as she could think of…

And we ended up with a complicated addition equation!

Although she has been adding high place values and carrying over for some time, this was a bit overwhelming for her at first.

We worked together through the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands values, and then my daughter felt confident about finishing the math problem!

Easter egg spin and spell

Here’s a fun way to review CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words with plastic Easter eggs!

Spin, read, and practice Chinese sentences!

Learning another language? You can adapt spelling activity for Chinese reading practice, such as Chinese radicals!
