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.

Fall is a great time to learn about and observe the birds in your area, but you can do this any time of year. Whether you’re watching from a backyard or a playground, you’re sure to find a few birds and can learn about the birds that are native to your region in any case.

If you do see birds at home or where your classroom is, the Merlin app is a great one (if your school allows phones). If you don’t already know it, it listens to the sounds around you and can identify birds based on their calls. Very cool and a reason for kids to be quiet while you’re observing nature. Having an old fashioned paper guidebook to the birds where you live is also a great idea because kids can use it to look up birds and it’s just fun to have in the science center.

The specific birds involved in your learning will vary depending on where you live, but here are some bird activities you can do with your kids at home or in the classroom.

Natural Beach Living set up a simple bird nature study center that includes bird books and feathers in front of a big window. There are also some printables you’ll find links to in this post including three part cards and bird observation charts for birds local to them and a bird unit study with lots of great printables (this is a paid resource).

Adventure in a Box has a printable birds of the world bingo game, which might inspire you to learn more about some of the 48 different birds included, from emu to snowy owl, grackle to Atlantic puffin.

If you’re American you’ll enjoy these state bird coloring pages from Flanders Family Home Life. If I can count, only 48 states are listed (which I wouldn’t have noticed except Arkansas isn’t there; it’s one of many whose state bird is the mockingbird). Print out all of them or just your home state, or give each child a bird to research and color to do a presentation in the classroom.

And you can learn more about the different types of bird nests and see if you can observe any of them on a nature walk with this guide to bird nests from Fun Mom Printables on Etsy. It includes information about eight types of nests with drawings and three part cards.
