I love the bright colors and pastels that abound during the Easter season! I always have a whole bunch of Easter eggs floating around, and I thought it would be fun to share ways you can use Easter eggs in Spanish class for a bit of seasonal fun this spring!

Let’s look at the set up and then dive into each of these ideas!

What do you need?

Grab a package of eggs! I like to have a whole bunch because things happen and they can break. This is a 48 pack and right now it’s less than $20 to grab the big bag, which isn’t too bad! You can also check thrift stores after Easter – I was able to grab quite a few packs for $.25-$.50 a pack last year. Win!

Running Dictation

Running Dictation is so fun and it’s super simple to put a twist on it with Easter eggs! Instead of hanging the sentences for dictation, put the slips into eggs and hide them. Make sure students know to put the eggs back where they find them when they are done!

Scrambled Sentences

Scrambled sentences are a great, hands on way for students to interact with the language! Instead of just handing them the packet of words, pop them into a plastic egg for students to find and work with. Easy peesy!

Practice Verb Conjugation

This one has a little more set up, but is great to practice any set of verbs you’d like! Write subject pronouns on one half of an egg and infinitives on the other half. Students pick two from a bucket (or an Easter basket!), then conjugate. This makes a great station activity!

Pair Subject & Conjugated Verbs

This is similar to the previous idea, but instead of the students conjugating, they can pair subject pronoun and conjugated verb! On this post from Spanish for You, Debbie explains how to set up a relay race with this activity.

Brain Breaks

Brain breaks can be so fun to incorporate into classes, and during the Easter season, why not put a twist on them? Write names of brain breaks you like to use in your classroom on slips of paper and put them inside Easter eggs. When it’s time for a brain break, have a student pull an egg from the basket to find out what brain break you’ll do! You could also hide the eggs around the room and students can find one to do the brain break – up to you!

If you need ideas for brain breaks to use, make sure you check out my blog post here for some inspiration, as well as tips on how I like to organize them!

Open & Sort

I don’t have a clever name for this one, but it’s a great option to review if Easter falls around finals time for you! Here’s how it works:

Print copies of vocab lists from several chapters.
Cut words apart and put a few in each egg.
Hide the eggs around the room.
Students find an egg, open it, and read the words.
As they read, sort or categorize the lists. Students can create their own categories. They might be words related to sports, family, food – or maybe they’ll sort by parts of speech, or an entirely different category!
Once the words have been sorted, students return the words to the egg, and put it back in its hiding spot.

This is a great option to do in pairs so students can bounce ideas off of each other.

What’s My Answer?

In my blog post of 20 Spanish Reading Games, I shared an idea from Mira Canion, via Mis Clases Locas! The way the original format of the game works, the teacher reads off a question and students race to be the first to select the correct answer from cards in front of them. A fun Easter egg hunt twist would be to give students a worksheet with the questions, and hide the answer cards in Easter eggs around the room! As they find an egg, they record the answer under the correct question, then return it to its hiding place and continue the hunt!

Create a Story

Into eggs, place clip art or icons to spark creativity. These can be really ANYTHING! I would stay in bounds with vocab your students have encountered this year – but man – really the options are endless.

Students draw 3 eggs and use them to create a story. You can do this in writing, or as a station activity where the students work as a group. There is really no wrong answer here, they’re just creating!

If you’d like a resource to help you, grab this free Roll a Story activity by filling out the form below. Just print & make copies of the Crea un Cuento page, cut apart the boxes, and put them in eggs instead!

Task Cards

I love task cards to get students up and moving! In this case, instead of hanging them on walls, or spreading them out on desks, put a different card into each egg. Tell students they need to find a certain number (like 20 out of 36) and complete them. This is great to review any topic you’re working on!

Review Vocabulary

While you can use task cards to review grammar, you could also hide images or vocabulary inside the eggs to review really any topic! An easy option would be to use a Bingo card generator (there are tons online for free!), generate cards in the topic you need, print, & cut them apart to put in eggs and hide around the room. Boom, done!

I hope these ideas have been helpful for you as you’re thinking about ways to have some Easter fun in your Spanish classes! We don’t always have time to do a ton of seasonal and holiday related things, so hopefully these work well for you to hit the curriculum you need and bring some of that Easter joy into your room.
