The spring season allows for so many fun themes that really resonate with preschoolers. Flowers and gardening, insects, clouds and rain, and of course, Earth Day and Easter holidays! And with that brings free Easter games for kids!

Of course one of our favorite holiday preschool themes is Easter, and I always like to introduce our this theme with something extra fun like a printable bingo game. Be sure to grab your free Easter bingo game from the end of this post.

I didn’t used to celebrate Easter with my preschoolers.

Even though my childhood was filled with huge multi-family Easter celebrations, I often skipped it in preschool. I don’t really know why — I think I just kind of forgot about it.

But now that I have my own kids, I am much better at celebrating Easter in preschool. Not only do we spend a week or so just on an Easter preschool theme, but we also have a super special Easter party the Thursday or Friday before the actual holiday.

If I do say so myself, I now throw a pretty fun Easter party for preschool and it’s filled with really fun free Easter games for kids. Here are a few things we always do:

  • Decorate old egg cartons as easy DIY Easter baskets for our class Easter Egg hunt. This works really well because every preschooler collects the same number of eggs. Once their egg carton is full, their egg hunt is over.
  • Have egg and spoon races.
  • Play a game of Wobbly Easter Egg Bowling.
  • Play Easter Egg Memory. This is a fun activity for toddlers, too!
  • Have an Easter Bunny Hop. This is a fun gross motor game that gets the kids out in the sunshine and…you guessed it…hopping around!

We do lots of Easter crafts, too.

Easter printables are a cheap way to celebrate.

And of course, we use free Easter printables for our Easter party in preschool, too! Here are some free Easter printables you are sure to love!

Printable Easter Theme Bingo Game for Preschool

A simple bingo game is a fun way to begin a camping theme in preschool.

As always, I offer five other ways to use this Easter printable, so be sure to read all the ideas at the end of the post. And don’t forget to grab your free Easter preschool printable at the end of this post, too.

Materials

  • Free Easter bingo game (found at the end of this post)
  • Bingo chips (or math counters)

The Set-Up

Simply print, cut, and laminate.

Give each preschooler a game card and a small bowl of counters and then invite them to join you in a game of Easter bingo!

This is a free Easter game for kids.

Make Anything Easter Themed

You can take any activity, whether it be a printable or a hands-on activity for kids, and turn it into an Easter themed activity if you have the right materials. Here are some Easter themed supplies I keep in my Easter preschool box.

The Easter Theme Bingo Game

This game is played like all other bingo games, it’s just with a colorful Easter theme. A facilitator draws a card and calls out the picture for the children to find on their cards. If they have the matching picture on their cards, they use a math counter to cover it up. The first player to get five in a row wins the game!

The differences in Easter egg patterns and colors will challenge your preschoolers.

One of the reasons I like bingo and blackout games is because they can help develop vocabulary and oral language skills. You can challenge your preschoolers by asking them to first name the picture or beginning sound on the calling card before you name it.

This free Easter bingo game features colorful Easter eggs and bunny bums.

Don’t Forget Easter Picture Books

Any preschool learning activity can be elevated by the right picture books. Here are some of the books I have in my preschool library. These Easter picture books are always a favorite.

More Easter Games for Kids Using this Bingo Printable

You know I adore a printable that can be used in more than one way. Here are some other ideas for using this printable.

  1. Make two copies of the calling cards and play a memory game.
  2. Invite younger preschoolers to describe the pictures they see on their game cards. Have them talk what they see, including the colors and patterns.
  3. Use the cards as inspiration to tell and make up stories about the Easter Bunny. As the teacher or parent, you can write down the children’s stories to demonstrate print awareness.
  4. Challenge the preschoolers to find the differences between two cards. Compare two cards to see what pictures are the same and which pictures are missing.
  5. Make two copies of each game card. Cut the rows from the second game cards and invite preschoolers to match the cut rows from the second card to the complete game cards.
