Egg-citing Educational Activities for Kids this Easter Holiday
The Easter holidays are a welcome break for children—but keeping little minds active (and little hands busy) can be a challenge for parents. At Newman Tuition, we believe learning doesn’t have to stop just because school is out. In fact, holidays are the perfect time to make education fun and hands-on! Here are our top educational activity ideas for children of all ages during the Easter break.
- Easter Egg Maths Hunt
Turn your classic egg hunt into a learning adventure! Write maths problems on slips of paper and tuck them inside plastic eggs. Whether it’s simple addition for younger children or trickier times tables and fractions for older ones, each correct answer earns a chocolate treat or a sticker. A fun way to combine movement, problem-solving and a bit of sweet motivation!
- Creative Writing with a Springtime Twist
Encourage children to write their own Easter or spring-themed stories. Prompt ideas could include: “The Great Bunny Escape” or “A Magical Garden Adventure.” For younger children, drawing a picture to accompany their story works just as well. This helps build narrative skills, vocabulary and confidence in self-expression.
- DIY Science: Make Your Own Chocolate Slime
Easter + chocolate = the perfect excuse for a science experiment! Explore texture, states of matter and kitchen chemistry with a chocolate slime activity (plenty of child-friendly recipes online). Not only is it sensory fun, but it’s also a great introduction to early scientific concepts.
- History Comes to Life
Older children might enjoy learning about the origins of Easter traditions around the world. Create a mini research project where they investigate Easter customs in different countries, then present their findings through a poster, PowerPoint or even a homemade video. This activity builds research, writing and public speaking skills.
- Educational Apps & Online Games
If you’re looking for quieter moments during the holiday, make screen time count with educational apps. Platforms like BBC Bitesize, Times Tables Rock Stars, and Teach Your Monster to Read combine play and progress in a way that keeps kids engaged. A great option for rainy afternoons!
- Easter-Themed STEM Challenge
Challenge your child to build the tallest freestanding tower using only jelly beans and toothpicks, or design an “egg parachute” to stop a real egg from breaking when dropped. These hands-on projects get children thinking critically, planning, testing and adjusting their designs—ideal for budding engineers and scientists.
- One-on-One Holiday Tuition
For families looking to bridge learning gaps or build academic confidence over the break, Newman Tuition offers tailored one-to-one support with expert tutors. Whether your child needs help preparing for exams or simply wants to keep their brain ticking over, we’re here to help.
