Thought I'd share something since I download so much from this site. This is an Easter ppt I made for my afterschool class.

I'm teaching the "smart club" abot Easter in America and am looking for an easy game. Any suggestions? I specifically want games that get them talking.

Is anybody doing anything for Easter with their students? I was thinking of doing a colouring project with my younger students and maybe an Easter egg hunt with my older students.

Oh, that sounds fun! I wanted to, but with the holidays coming up in May, my coteacher said we wouldn't have time. Bummer.

You could try making it a review of prepositions and hid the plastic eggs around the classroom. That would be fun for the kids.

This is the lesson I'm doing this week with the 5th and 6th graders for the Easter-themed English Festival. I used quite a bit from a couple of the PPTs posted above and on the other Easter threads in this forum.

Easter Lesson

Warm-up: Ask students about the weather and the season. Ask them if they know anything about Easter. The ones who did just said things like "eggs" and "rabbits." I introduced them to the word "bunny."

Intro: Easter PPT. This did require the help of my co-teacher in some places. I left it out of the PPT but had her tell them up front that Easter is both a Christian and a spring holiday, and today we'd just be talking about the spring holiday aspects. This took about 20 minutes.

Activity 1: Easter egg hunt. This was taken directly from Luna's lesson, but since I didn't have plastic eggs, I made some paper ones using free vector Easter eggs. Just print them out, laminate them double-sided, and stash them around the classroom before the students come in. I also made laminated numbers for the teams. It shouldn't take much more than 5 minutes, but they loved it!

1) Easter is a spring holiday.
2) Easter basket
3) On Easter we eat candy.
4) baby animals
5) On Easter we eat dinner with friends and family.
6) Happy Easter

Activity 2: Easter Egg Design contest. They also liked this a lot. I printed out the attached template 4 to an A4 sheet, which seemed like the perfect size. I gave them 10 minutes to draw, and then picked the best three and had them vote for the best one. I gave chocolate for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place from those.

I am doing the egg coloring but the Vice Principal shot down my Easter egg hunt idea. I was going to collect the eggs they colored and hide them around the school and have the students go find them during their break but VP thinks it will be too noisy and messy??? :(

Where can I find plastic eggs and egg coloring materials in Seoul?

I used this game for my after school class today. All of the students participated. Each student writes down two funny questions starting with Would you like to . . . and then one person has to be the bunny. Any time anyone asks the bunny a question, he/she can only reply, "I am a bunny!" and if he/she smiles he/she loses the game. Some students are really good at coming up with creative questions, and all of my students are better at not smiling than I am. :D I got the idea from chanti29 from the 6th grade lesson "Would you like to come to my house". Thank you for the original idea! I know this is late, but I hope someone can use it!

This lesson is designed to teach the students about the basics surrounding Easter.
This lesson requires chocolate and boiled eggs.
Students love chocolate.

1. Cover the vocabulary surrounding Easter. (I always cover nouns first, and then actions.)
2. Using the PPT ask the students about the various things they see on the PPT.
3. Using the boiled eggs, and paint, have the students paint their egg how ever they'd like. ( I encourage the use of English on the eggs, it seems a bit more English oriented that way.)
4. Have staff hide the eggs. ( I used mothers, the mothers loved this activity.)****Extra Points for open class, I suppose.
5. Students find the eggs, and are rewarded with chocolates for each egg found.(Make sure you find ALL of the eggs, a three week old egg does NOT smell good)
6. Enjoy the fun with your students first Easter egg hunt.

I'm preparing for a multi-level afterschool class and thought the Easter topic might be nice for the week leading up to Easter. I modified a presentation (credits to the original uploader) from above and added some Korean translation to the PPT. Made a worksheet to go along with it as well as a tracing worksheet for the first graders. Hope someone will find this useful!

This is a good power point guessing game to introduce Easter / Spring to the class

I am going to teach my afterschool students Little Bunny Foo Foo. First I am going to go over the quicky vocabulary powerpoint I made, then we are going to watch the song. Then I am going to teach the students hand motions to go with the song and we are going to sing it together.
