✏️Math Centers:

➕ Egg-cellent Addition Baskets

This center adds just the right touch of spring cheer to your math block! Kids use mini erasers, pompoms, or mini eggs to fill two baskets, then add them together and clip the correct sum. It’s hands-on, visual, and such a fun way to build addition fluency and fine motor strength.

📏 Bunny Hop Measuring

This cheerful center is one of our springtime favorites! Kids use math link cubes to measure bunnies, eggs, chicks, and more—building nonstandard measurement skills while having a blast. Each card features a playful spring scene with a space to line up cubes and record their count.

✨ Bunny Number Clip – More or Less?

Hoppin’ into number sense has never been this fun! In this hands-on math center, kids look at the number on each bunny card, follow the arrow for more or less, and clip the correct answer from the options below. It’s the perfect mix of critical thinking and fine motor practice—and my students love the challenge!

➖ Chick Subtraction Count & Cover

This center brings just the right amount of springtime fun to early subtraction practice! Kids count the chicks, subtract the given number, and then cover or clip the correct total. It’s a hands-on way to build number sense and subtraction fluency—plus, the adorable chicks make it feel more like a game than a worksheet.

🎲 Roll-An-Egg

This simple yet engaging math center is perfect for reinforcing early number skills! Kids roll a die, look for the matching number on the left side of their egg mat, then cover the correct color spot to decorate their egg. It’s a playful, hands-on way to build counting, number recognition, and one-to-one correspondence—without feeling like a worksheet.

✏️Literacy Centers:

🌸 Easter Basket Blends

Blends can be tricky—but this center makes them fun and memorable! Kids look at the picture in the Easter basket, say the word aloud, and clip the beginning blend that matches. It’s a fantastic way to build phonics fluency while also sneaking in some fine motor practice.

🧺 Roll, Read, & Build A Basket

This festive center is such a hit during our spring literacy rotations! Kids roll a die, read a decodable CVC sentence, and collect an Easter-themed item—like a bunny, chick, or egg—to add to their basket. It’s playful, meaningful fluency practice wrapped up in holiday fun.

🎯 Roll, Read, & Cover

This is one of those centers my kids ask for again and again! They roll a die, read a CVC word in the matching row, and cover the picture that goes with it. It’s the perfect blend of fluency, phonics, and fun—all wrapped up in a colorful Easter theme.

🥚 CVC Word Egg Hunt

This literacy center turns phonics practice into a springtime treasure hunt! Kids look at the picture clue, scan the tree full of colorful Easter eggs, and find the hidden CVC word that matches. Each card features 8 CVC words, giving students plenty of opportunities to decode, read, and build fluency.

🥚 Easter Egg CVC Word Hunt

This center brings the excitement of an egg hunt right into your literacy block! Kids search each Easter egg grid to find hidden CVC words, then match them to picture clues using bingo chips, mini erasers, or markers. It’s a playful way to build decoding and word recognition skills while keeping students engaged and focused.

🔤 Easter Crack the Code – Beginning Sounds Fun!

My kids love anything that feels like a mystery—and this phonics activity delivers! In Easter Crack the Code, students look at each picture, identify the beginning sound, and use it to solve a secret Easter Bunny message. It’s a fun way to reinforce letter-sound connections without feeling like a worksheet.

📂How I Use These Centers

✅ Morning Tubs – Use Crack the Code and Roll an Egg for calm, skill-building starts to the day.
✅ Small Groups – Easter Basket Blends and Bunny Hop Measuring are great for guided instruction.
✅ Independent Practice – CVC Egg Hunt and Chick Subtraction make great early finisher tasks.
✅ Skill Review – Use any of the roll and read centers to revisit phonics and math in a playful way.

Just print, add manipulatives like dice, clothespins, or counters—and you're ready for a full week of engaging spring learning.
