Hi guys!
We hope you are well, enjoying family time and staying as safe as possible. As you have been working so hard for the past couple of weeks, we thought it would be nice for you to do some fun activities over the Easter Holidays.

Ask an adult to hide some chocolate/treats around the house and then you need to go and find them. If you don’t have any treats, then you can hide some objects instead. You could draw some little chicks and bunnies and hide them around the house if you like.
Or ….. write different commands on different pieces of paper (see below) and hide them around the house. When you find a command, you have to do it. You can think of some of your own commands.
Tell a joke
Make a silly face
Sing your favourite song
Sing your ABCs
Do 5 jumping jacks
Oink like a pig
Do a chicken dance
Moo like a cow
Do a forward roll
Do a cartwheel
Give an adult a hug

With the people in your household or other friends and family via video calling, have a go at our Easter Pictionary game. The rules of Pictionary are simple. All you need is something to draw on and some writing instruments (pencils, pens, felt tips). You can adapt this game to suit all ages. The aim of the game is to guess the picture being drawn by the ‘artist’. You can be put into teams or you can do it individually to one another for fun. The idea is that you pick an Easter word from a bag (you can use a carrier bag). You then need to draw the word you have picked. If your partner/team guess the word from your drawing, they get a point.
Here are the Easter words you can copy out on small bits of paper. You can think of some more if you like.

Easter basket	Egg hunt
Chocolate bunny	Chicks
Spring	Daffodils
Bunny hop	Lamb
Easter bonnet	Butterfly
Cross	Easter egg
Bunny ears	Hot cross bun

Five Senses Nature walk
Going for a walk or hike through nature is a great mindful exercise. It can be as long or as short as you have time for and makes for a great family activity. So take a five senses nature walk around near where you live as part of your one form of exercise a day. Be sure to take plenty of breaks to focus on being present. The walking is less about getting somewhere than it is about being aware and tuning into your surroundings.
On the next page, is a nature scavenger hunt which focuses on the five senses for you to tune into. Try and find as many as you can and remember to use them senses to help tick them off.

Don’t eat the items you have found on your nature walk.
