Spelling Easter Egg Hunt Game for Early Readers

Spelling Homemade chalk Easter egg Hunt game idea for toddlers

We’ve been playing around with these chalk board paint covered Easter eggs the last few weeks. One of my daughters favorite activities lately is to hide all the eggs and play “Easter egg hunt.” She’s practicing for the real deal coming up in the next few weeks.

Building on her enthusiasm for hiding and finding the eggs, I decided to have her practice her letter writing. I created a chart of a few Easter themed words that are easy for beginner readers such as egg, bunny, Easter, hop, spring.

Materials needed:

  • Chalk
  • Easter basket

Step 3-

Once there is an egg for each letter of the word, hide the eggs somewhere in the home. It’s important to work on one word at a time. Essentially, you will be hiding the eggs for one word each round.

Once each of the eggs is collected, help them sort out the words. You can also have them look at the word written on the piece of paper to sort them out themselves.
