so fun! I did the "you've been egged" before – the kids loved it! I JUST found a giant easter egg, thanks to your post 🙂
Love the What's in my Egg activity! My students would definitely need some help finding something small enough to place in the egg! I also loved the "You've been egged" activity. I will be doing this next year!
Love Love the spring! I loved when my kids looked for Easter eggs! The "you've been egged" was great! We did this with our grand kids! Now summer is coming I planned great ideas with my grand kids I want to share with you and your bloggers. Ten cheap things to do with your kids this summer at educattionaltoysplus1.blogspot.com
All of your creative ideas about spring are so inspirational. But I especially love the wonderful ways to use plastic Easter egg for math, literacy, and speaking/listening in my first-grade classroom. I love the idea of taking home an egg and filling it with anything – I guess it could even be soil. Using their writing skills and thinking of 3 clever clues that their parents can help them write. Getting the parents involved is always an added benefit, giving the families a chance to work on a project together. This will also be another opportunity for the students to practice their speaking skills in class, using a strong voice, speaking clearly, and having good eye contact with the audience. I love this and look forward to sharing this simple but creative activity with my class and their families.\
