Brainstorm all the words they can think of to do with this festival. Write them randomly on the board except the words that begin with a letter from the word ‘Easter’. These words you can write directly next to the appropriate letter.
Then see if the children can think of any more words in English that begin with the letters in the word ‘Easter’ to fill in the gaps.
If they can think of some Easter related words it’s even better but they may find this difficult. Possible words are ‘Eggs’ ‘April’ ‘Spring’ and ‘Rabbit’
You can then use these words to create a class poem. Remember it doesn’t have to rhyme. They can be creative as they like with the sentences just help with the grammar.
Write the poem onto a large sheet of paper that you cut out in the shape of an egg to display. Ask volunteers to write a sentence each. Other volunteers could illustrate the poem by picking a word from the poem and drawing something to represent it.
