Easter ESL Activities, Games and Worksheets
In this rewarding Easter vocabulary game, students play bingo by completing gap-fill sentences with Easter words. You take on the role of the bingo caller. Read a sentence at random from the caller's sheet using the word 'blank' for the missing Easter word. Students listen and look at the words on their bingo cards to see if they have a word that completes the gap-fill sentence. If they do, they cross it off. The game continues until a student has crossed off four Easter words in a row. When this happens, the student shouts 'Bingo!' and then reads out the Easter words they crossed off. If the words match the sentences that were called out, the student wins the round. Students then continue to see who can cross off all 16 words. Play several rounds, making sure students receive a different bingo card each time. As a variation, students can play the game in groups with students taking turns to be the bingo caller.
In this free Easter speaking activity, students ask and answer questions about the Easter holiday. First, students complete gaps with the Easter words shown using each word once. Next, go through the items on the worksheet and elicit the yes/no questions the students need to ask in the activity, e.g. 'Have you ever decorated an Easter egg?' Students then go around the class asking each other the Easter yes/no questions. When a classmate answers 'yes' to a question, the student writes down their name and asks a follow-up question to gain more information, noting down the answer in the last column. If a classmate replies 'no', the student repeats the question with another student or asks a different question. When everyone has finished, students give feedback to the class on what they found out.

After that, students complete Easter conversation questions with verbs from a box. Lastly, students ask and answer the questions in pairs.
In this useful Easter activity, students complete a crossword by listening to clues and guessing Easter vocabulary. In pairs, students take it in turns to ask their partner for a clue to one of the missing Easter words on their crossword. Their partner reads out the clue for that Easter word and the other student tries to guess what it is. If the student guesses the word successfully, they write it on their crossword. If not, their partner continues to give more clues until the student is able to guess the word. When the students have finished, they check their spelling by comparing crosswords. To make the activity more competitive, you can have each pair compete against another pair or the whole class to see who can complete the crossword first.

Next, students pair up with someone from the other group and take it in turns to read the statements to their partner who guesses if they are true or false. For each correct guess, students put a tick. The student with the most correct guesses at the end of the game wins.

Next, Student A reads the beginning of their first Easter sentence to Student B, who listens and chooses a suitable ending from their worksheet, starting with an Easter word from their word search. Student B then reads out the second part of the sentence along with the Easter word. If Student A agrees it's correct, they write the ending down. If not, Student B reads other possible endings to find the right one. When Student A has completed all their sentences, the two students swap roles. Afterwards, review the correct answers and vocabulary with the class.
