Cascarones
Cascarones are such a fun thing to share with your students when teaching about Semana Santa! Julie from Mundo de Pepita has a great tutorial for how to make your own!
It is quite a bit of work to do on your own, so you might consider prepping the eggs with step one, then giving each of your students one to make on their own and having them help you with steps two and three!
You could also purchase the eggs pre-made! I know other teachers have shared their Walmart or local grocery store sometimes carries them, or you can purchase them on Amazon!
Once they are made, take them outside for a fun time!
Alfombras de Semana Santa
There are many beautiful traditions in the Spanish speaking world surrounding Semana Santa, or Holy Week. One of my personal favorites are the alfombras created in Guatemala. They are vibrant, eye-catching, and yet fleeting. Check out this post with a lesson plan for las alfombras de Semana Santa!
Easter Egg Hunt Games
Check out 10 games you can do with your classes with those plastic Easter eggs. Perfect if you need to do a review for a test or if you have finals coming up! See the low prep games here. These activities get students moving, thinking, and working together while practicing Spanish. It is a fun and effective way to review without it feeling like a typical class period.
Easter Egg Hunt Digital Review Game
Interactive review games on Google Slides are a great way to engage your students! Make a copy of the template for your Google Drive account. Then, insert your questions. It is set up so each question is a multiple choice with 3 options, one correct answer. You can use it with vocabulary or verb practice – whatever fits best in your unit! Students love the element of surprise as they click through and discover hidden eggs. It is a great mix of tech, review, and seasonal fun all rolled into one.
No Prep Easter Activities for Spanish Class
One of my favorite things to do for holidays is to use interactive Google Maps so my students can explore the culture from several different countries in one lesson! Students navigate the map, read descriptions, look at pictures, and watch embedded videos. As they do so, they fill out the graphic organizer, or answer comprehension questions!

If you don’t have time for a full lesson on Easter or Semana Santa, these coloring reviews for novices are a great fast finisher option! Leave them out for your students to choose from, then hang them up to decorate! Click here to print these activities from my store!
Bring the Springtime Fun to Life
Another way to make Easter in Spanish class extra special is by adding a little creative twist with spring-themed storytelling. Try having students work in small groups to write a short, silly story using Easter or Semana Santa vocabulary, then act it out for the class. You can even give them plastic eggs with mystery words inside to include in their skit. This activity gets everyone laughing, speaking, and collaborating, all while reinforcing vocabulary in a memorable way. If you teach multiple levels, this works beautifully across the board with a few simple tweaks. It is a low-prep, high-energy option that brings seasonal fun and language learning together. Spring vibes plus student engagement? Yes, please.
