Religious Easter Activities for Kids

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.

Looking for more ideas for meaningful religious Easter activities to do with kids? Equipping Godly Women has a collection of religious Easter crafts for kids, and Bombshell Bling has a big roundup of crafts, activities and food for the Easter season.

A classic manipulative in the preschool and early elementary classroom is the snap cube, also known as math cubes, unifix cubes or unit cubes. These little one inch cubes often come in a set of 100 in 10 different colors, and they snap together so they’re easy to use for all sorts of math learning, measuring and more.

No Time for Flashcards has a cute robot printable to use with cubes to measure the height of each robot. That one is free but they also have other printable cube mats that are a paid resource.

Catherine & Co uses math cubes to teach kids about measuring volume. They make a letter from cubes and then measure the volume (there’s a printable worksheet in the post).

Pattern recognition is another fun and easy activity you can do with the cubes. You can use printables like these from Planning Playtime, or just make a pattern from cubes and have kids repeat it or figure out what comes next. There’s another good set of pattern printables at English Created Resources.

Because there are 10 sets of 10 cubes in a pack, these are great for teaching one to one correspondence, counting, sorting and basic addition and subtraction. English Created Resources has great printable number mats you can use to form the number from cubes and count out the number of cubes that corresponds to that number.

ParenTutor has a great collection of snap cube activity ideas, most of which are just pictures, but it’s work taking a look through the post for ideas for using them at home or in the classroom.

To give just a few of their examples, you can match linked blocks to the corresponding number of pieces, use blocks to find different ways to add up to 10, compare numbers and determine which one is more or less, skip counting and weighing different numbers of blocks.

You can also use unit cubes to learn letters, like with these super cute alphabet mats from Fun Learning for Kids. Kids can trace the letter, make it out of cubes and practice writing a word that starts with that letter.

Of course you can also use them to build things, since they are blocks, and there are tons of pattern mats on Teachers Pay Teachers. I also love these dinosaur themed mats from Lets Go to Learn on Etsy.
