Easter Small Cards — Match & Speak

Use Easter small cards to play Match the Pairs. Students observe, compare, and speak as they match vocabulary cards with pictures. Great for vocabulary recall and speaking practice!

✔ Builds listening, vocabulary recognition, and speaking confidence
✔ Works well as a warm-up or station activity

📌 Tip: Use student names on cards for partner matching to increase interaction.

Easter Read & Color Book

Have learners construct meaning from both text and visuals. After reading each sentence, they only color what the text describes — a fun way to practise comprehension and color words.

✔ Supports early reading and inference skills
✔ Works with kinesthetic learners

Easter Pocket Chart Activities

✔ Easy prep and reusable
Pocket charts are ideal for kinesthetic learners. Use them for vocabulary sorting, sequencing, and simple sentence practice.

How to Use:
Shuffle the Easter picture cards.
Ask students to group vocabulary by category (e.g., animals, objects).
Extend with simple sentences: “The bunny is hopping.”

Easter Egg Book & Writing Practice

Let students create an Easter Egg Book — color, cut, and assemble. They can trace phrases and later write words using letter tiles.

✔ Builds writing confidence
✔ Combines visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning

 Easter Letter Tiles Game

Have students build Easter words using letter tiles. Challenge them to form new words with the same letters afterward.

✔ Reinforces spelling patterns
