Learning Games with Plastic Easter Eggs

The Dollar Store is a great place to get plastic Easter eggs and a cute basket to store them in. Scroll down for some easy to make learning centers using plastic Easter eggs. 





Math and Literacy Centers: 

LITERACY: Sight Word Scramble

Write sight words on 1" squares of paper - one letter on each square. Put the sight word squares in the plastic Easter eggs. Hide the eggs around the room and put them in an Easter basket. When students find/choose an egg, they must unscramble the sight word contained within the egg.  Students can then either write the word three times of use the word in a written sentence.

  

 

 

MATH: Simple Addition

Write simple addition problems on the outside of plastic Easter eggs. Inside the egg place 2 different types of beans that correspond to the addition problem. Students break open the egg, sort the beans in 2 piles and count the beans to answer the problem.  Make addition practice just a little more fun!
 

 

LITERACY: Onset & Rime

This activity is an "oldie but goodie." Write an onset on one half of an Easter egg and the rime on another half. Students put the eggs together and read and write the onsets and rimes.
