March 28, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

With Easter right around the corner, you might be looking for some religion-centered activities for kids to do for the holiday. Here are some printables, crafts and activities for kids that focus on the religious aspect of the holiday.

Happy Home Fairy has a sweet collection of 20 activities to do before Easter she calls the Joy Journey. They can be done like an advent calendar in the days before Easter or you can just pick a few that you want to do with your family during the Easter season.

Little kids can make this easy cross craft from I Heart Crafty Things. She shows doing the background with construction paper but you could paint it, too.

This Easter story wreath from Wee Little Miracles includes major parts of the Easter story as well as some printable icons like praying hands, a chalice of wine, bread and a dove. You can print these out and arrange them on a wreath to help tell the Easter story to little ones or be reminded of the story through the season.

Sweet T Makes Three has a craft for older kids or adults to make. This resurrection garden is made with a terra cotta pot and plate and represents the empty tomb. It would make a nice centerpiece for your Easter table.

Sara J Creations has a religious Easter-themed bingo printable for playing at Sunday school or at home. The Bible verse Easter egg craft from The Growing Creatives would also be a fun Sunday school activity, or something you can do at home. The post includes printable verses or you can write out your own.

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
