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.

We don’t really have any travel to speak of planned this summer, and my daughter is old enough that any lengthy time in the car is usually spent with an audiobook or watching videos. But I remember the struggle of keeping little kids entertained on long trips, especially if you don’t want them on a screen the whole time.

I recently saw this post from Creating Really Awesome Fun Things, which is a roundup of 26 road trip games, ideas and activities that kids can do. From stringing beads onto pipe cleaners to felt busy boards, travel journals and using a pizza box to contain colors, trains (or cars) and more, there are lots of fun and easy ideas here.

I’m a big fan of printable road trip activities, and even have a whole post all about printables for road trips. I used to always do some kind of license plate game, a map, mazes and I-spy style scavenger hunts, which are fun for everyone in the car to play along with. (You can also find some patriotic road trip mazes here.) If your road trip includes a camping trip, check out these camping themed printable games and activities.

Productive Pete has a super cute map of the United States (pictured above) that kids can use in lots of different ways while on the road. They can color the states you travel through, or all the states they’ve ever visited, or use it to give the license plate game an extra challenge as they try to find each state on the map. You can quiz older kids on the state capitols, which you might need to brush up on yourself (guilty!).

Do you have particular games or activities that you always have on hand when you are doing a road trip with kids? I would love to hear about them!
