What You’ll Need to Prepare The Spring Movement Games:
- The Spring Movement Game Action Cards For Plastic Easter Eggs Printable
- Plastic Easter Eggs (use up to 36, or use less and choose your favorite movement cards)
- A basket or something to hold the eggs
To prepare the spring movement games, you’ll need to print the printable, and then cut out the mini action cards. You can use all 36 mini-cards and 36 eggs, or you can choose your favorite!
Place one card into each plastic egg. Place all of the stuffed eggs into a basket.
How to Play The Spring Movement Game With Plastic Eggs:
With all of the eggs in a basket, the child will choose one egg.
They will then open the egg, and see which movement they got.
Next it’s preform their Spring-themed movement.
This is the fun part! It is so much fun to see the kids use their imagination to think about what “Rise like the sun” might looks like, or “Spin like a pinwheel”.
Continue playing until each child tried a few, or until all of the eggs are used!
More Ways To Play With The Plastic Eggs and Spring Movement Cards:
There are more ways to play this Spring Movement Game!
Easter Egg Hunt: Hide the stuffed eggs and have the kids find them, just as they would do in an Easter Egg hunt. After all of the eggs are found, everyone gathers together to open their eggs one at a time and preform the Spring actions.
All Together: With a group of kids (or you and your child), open one egg together and everyone will do the movement at the same time.
Move by Color: The child(ren) will have eggs in one color, and do the actions in those. For example, one child would have all of the blue eggs and do the actions in those.
