In 163 days
Easter is the most important Christian festival, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, and in many countries it is also a spring holiday with eggs, bunnies, chicks and chocolate. It falls on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April (Orthodox Easter is often a week or more later). These printables include spring and Easter animal colouring, Easter word searches and spelling games, bingo, a greeting card, an egg hunt invitation and drawing lessons for bunnies, hens and ducks.

Good to know
An egg hunt is easy to turn into a learning game: hide paper eggs with letters or sums on them, and children solve each one before collecting the next.
For classrooms with children of different faiths, the spring animals, flowers and eggs work for everyone, while the Easter story can be shared by those who celebrate it.
How to use these
- Use the invitation template for an egg hunt with friends.
- Print bingo cards in advance with small chocolates or buttons as markers.
- Combine with the spring activity pages for the school holidays.
