From our teachers' playbook

Hop into spring learning!

What do 1st graders learn with Easter?

Easter is a spring holiday celebrated by Christians and enjoyed by many families with egg hunts, baskets and bunny fun. In 1st grade, it is a perfect theme for practicing core skills. Kids read and build word families like -ack, -ing and -un, put words in ABC order, order numbers to 100, and write about spring. They also learn that Easter falls on a Sunday in March or April and changes date every year. The click moment is when the "egg hunt" turns out to be a hunt for words, and nobody minds one bit.

Our favorite ways to teach with Easter

A holiday theme makes practice feel brand new. These are our favorite springtime moves.

Crack open a word family

Write a word family like "-ack" on a basket and put letters in plastic eggs. Kids open an egg, add the letter, and read the word: back, sack, pack. If it isn't a real word, it goes back in the basket. Hands-on and so much fun.

Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Spring vocabulary cards

Use Easter flash cards to build words like basket, bunny, chick and egg for writing time. Post them on a word wall so kids can spell them on their own. Pictures help early writers find the word they want.

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Read and answer

Read a short Easter passage together, then have kids answer the questions on their own. Ask them to underline where they found each answer. It is gentle test practice with a theme they enjoy.

Why it works: shuffled practice teaches kids to choose the right strategy, not just repeat one, and it improved test scores in research (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

Questions parents and teachers ask

When is Easter?

Easter is on a Sunday in March or April, and the date changes every year. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the start of spring.

What are good Easter activities for 1st grade?

Word family egg hunts, ABC order with plastic eggs, number order games, spring writing prompts and reading passages are all great ways to practice skills with a holiday theme.

How can I teach Easter in a public school classroom?

Many teachers focus on spring themes like eggs, bunnies, chicks and flowers, and explain simply that Easter is an important holiday for Christians. Inviting families to share their own traditions keeps it inclusive.

How do plastic eggs help with learning?

You can hide letters, words, math facts or questions inside. Kids open them to read, build or solve, which turns any practice into a hunt.
