Easter is a time for celebration and renewal, and it's also a wonderful opportunity to use the break from lessons to practice and improve your English skills! As a teacher, I'm excited to share some fun and creative ways to practice your English during this special time of year. I am a firm believer of practicing a bit everyday and that is why I encourage my students to engage with English in every from a bit every day. I have for you some ideas for doing just that. From Easter-inspired vocabulary games to egg-themed writing activities, there are plenty of ways to keep your English skills sharp and have fun at the same time. So grab your Easter basket and let's get started!
1. Reading
Easter is a time for celebration, and there are many ways to incorporate learning into the festivities for children who are learning English. Reading is one of the best ways to improve language skills and comprehension. Providing children with access to online stories that have an Easter theme can be an engaging and entertaining way to have them practice their language skills while learning more about the holiday. I have here a list of beautifully illustrated stories that your child can read or listen to! Yes! You read that well. These stories are also audiobooks. You can choose to read it and then listen to it. That will be double the practice and so much better for your children's English skills. And the best part? They are all FREE! simply click on the title and enjoy!
I have created my own Easter activities for the holidays and my own Easter poster. And you can download all of them for FREE. Consider it as an Easter gift from me to you.
2. Read Aloud Stories
What if you really want your children to read stories but you have no free time? I got you! We all 've been there. There are a million things to do during the day and maybe having an alternative to reading with your child every single day might be the best thing for you. What about Read-Aloud stories from YouTube? There are some amazing stories read aloud by native speakers of English. These stories are captivating, because they are actually in a video form, and they also help your child's pronunciation and listening skills. Here are some of my favourite Easter themed stories read aloud:
3. Easter Crafts
Easter crafts can be fun and engaging. Use this opportunity to name all the supplies and materials you need in English and explain the process to the child in English. Use simple language that they can follow and be patient. Pro Tip: show them how to complete a step on your own craft as you talk them through the process in English. Here are some amazing crafts I have found on Pinterest and they are all FREE and fun!
4. Easter Activities
We can't forget writing! It's the fourth and final skill we need to practice during our holidays and the only thing missing from our collection of wonderful online resources. For that reason, I have created my own Easter activities and Easter poster for my students and you! I usually print them out and give them to my students during our Easter party as extra practice in class or as homework. They are fun and engaging. There is a Vocabulary list with Easter themed vocabulary, a word scramble and a word search all inspired by this holiday. There is even a coloring page that the children can get creative with. Enjoy!
And that's all from me...
