Easter writing prompts for kids are a great way to get your students engaged in writing with a fun theme! This month we are working on opinion writing, which can be hard for my firsties!
I decided they needed something to really get them excited about writing. Well……what do kids absolutely love? You guessed it…candy!
Writing Our Opinion
I thought a great Easter writing prompt was to write our opinion about different Easter candy and other Easter traditions! We started off this lesson with the story The Night Before Easter
. It's a cute book about the Easter Bunny with lots of reference to all the candy that the Easter Bunny will bring.
. It's a cute book about the Easter Bunny with lots of reference to all the candy that the Easter Bunny will bring.
After listening to the story, we worked together in interactive writing to make a list of our favorite Easter candy.
Then the kids set to work to fill our giant Easter basket with goodies! I put out the scrap box and the kids worked to make marshmallow peeps. chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and more. I think our basket turned out adorable!
Finally it was time for the best part….tasting a mini chocolate bunny! I found these little gems and they were perfect for this lesson.
When the kids finished their bunny, it was time for some opinion writing. They used this template to tell me what they thought of their tasty treat!
Finally, we finished up our lesson with a simple little chocolate bunny craft.
This engaging and easy lesson was a great way for my firsties to practice some meaningful Easter activities while still having a little fun!
