Start with a bag of empty Easter eggs.
Gather different objects to put inside the eggs. Ideas: pennies, buttons, beads, beans, rice, cut-up straws, safety pins, barrets and cut-up toothpics.
Caution: be careful using small objects with little children!
Fill at least 2 eggs with the same objects.
The Game: Have the children take turns shaking the eggs and finding two that sound the same. Carefully open the eggs to see if they guessed correctly!
Have fun!

Thanks for reading Marcy! And so quickly too. I just posted 9 minutes ago! :)
DeleteWhat a fun Easter activity!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicky! Glad you stopped by!
DeleteChildren would like this any time, not just in the spring. Many K through 2 classes teach sound, and children get so excited about things like this. Don't put them away after Easter and the siblings who wait for your music students can entertain themselves with this fun activity. Brilliant! Carolyn
ReplyDeleteIt can get messy if they open the eggs quickly. So be prepared! kids games
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! & such a great way to reuse the eggs after Easter. My son loves to play with them throughout the year, but they end up broken and in pieces.. this will be wonderful to try out!
ReplyDeleteI hope you give it a try and have fun! Thanks for reading!
