Easter Charades For Kids

Hop like a bunny or mime decorating Easter eggs in this Easter Charades For Kids game. With pictures and words on each of the 27 cards, this printable game is ideal to add a little movement fun to your festivities.

I know that the egg hunt is usually the main event to Easter activities, but I cannot help always wanting to infill themed play throughout the week leading up.

Getting the kids excited for the actual day itself is half the joy of it all. The anticipation of the Easter bunny, conversations around God, and questions about how the Easter hunt actually works are all part of the week.

Adding in some activity books and games that promote both learning and movement is an easy way to support their learning, get excited about the day ahead, and have some fun along the way.

One of our favorite games, holiday themed or not, is charades. In these Easter Charades For Kids, you get 27 printable cards that all ages can join in on.

How Prepare This Printable Charades Game

The best part about charades is that you don’t use any props to play! No need to dig in the costume box or search through your “just in case” box of items. Instead, just print, cut, and play.

Laminating is optional, though highly recommed. I have had my small, but mighty, laminator for years and just love it.

How To Play Easter Charades

Since all 27 cards included have both words and a picture, just about all ages can participate with minimal help from adults. The kids love this for the autonomy it gives them to play.

Put the cards face down, or spread them all out face up. This second option allows the younger players to see all the options in front of them, which makes it easer to guess in step
Player 1 picks a card and silently acts out what is on the card.
Everyone else guesses what the card says based on what Player 1 is doing.

If you are playing for a classroom party, or just have a larger group, you can opt to play in teams. Simply grab a timer and keep score.
