These Easter Bunny’s Assistant Lesson Plans are filled with reading comprehension ideas for kindergarten and first-grade.
Reading Comprehension Lessons
Do you love The Easter Bunny’s Assistant by Jan Thomas? We sure do. This is such a fun book for spring! After reading the book in our Guiding Readers units, we work on Cause and Effect.
and the student’s complete their version as well.
We follow up our reading lessons with this cute craft! You can find these activities HERE.
Easter Poem
Here is a fun poem that I wrote to use this week.
You can find the poem HERE. You can find the Music and Video files (with QR codes) HERE.
Easter Math Centers
We also have some Easter themed math activities.
Composing and decomposing teen numbers BUMP!
One of the questions I get asked often is, “how do you get your class to work independently?” The answer is providing familiar tasks that allow students to practice and over-learn skills. My Math Work Stations units are formatted in such a way. Students play these games over and over throughout the year. So you don’t need to stop instructional time by explaining their centers. Simple!
Easter Sight Word Practice
The Time-Me station is a great way to practice sight word fluency. In each tub, I also put letter card sets and phrase sets. In this way, the activity offers differentiation. These are editable cards, so you can add your own words and phrases.
Once I have taught this activity, I can easily change the theme. This becomes a year-long activity!
You can find the Easter version HERE. The year-long set can be found HERE.
Another favorite sight word activity is Roll, Say, Keep! (Yes, it is also editable!)
I like to put the playing cards in empty gum containers! Students love this and it smells yummy!
You can find this Dagnabbit Rabbit version HERE. You can find the year-long set HERE.
Other Word Work Games
When working on CVCe words, this game is a hit! I usually introduce it in my small groups before setting it out as a center.
You can find the Easter version HERE. The year-long set can be found HERE.
I also made a little CVC game for you all for FREE. You can find the link for this game at the end of this post.
Handwriting and Sentence Work!
We usually use these as our morning warm up each day!
You can find the Easter version HERE. You can see the year-long set HERE.

Here you go! I wanted a fun activity to do with the GAZILLION little erasers I have collected, but you could also use little counters for the game board.

Hi Deedee,
I love your products! Do you by chance have an editable version of your lesson plans? I would be very interested. I’m looking to move away from the paper pencil planner.
Thanks so much,

Hi Deedee,
The video links were not in the link you posted. Is there another way to find them? Sorry for being such a nuisance. 🙂

Not a nuisance at all, but I’m not sure what you mean about video links… HELP!
Hello, I clicked on the link and they were no videos. It was just large white areas where the video boxes should be. Does that help?

GOT it! You are talking about the visual lesson plans. My life is a bit like the movie, 50 First Dates. After I go to bed, the memory is swiped clean from the previous day. I forgot you were talking about the visual lesson plans. SHOOT! I made those videos a long time ago. I guess the video support is gone. WAH!!!!!!! I have no idea how to get them back!
please help I can’t seem to be able to find the link to print the free Easter Bunny’s Assistant lesson
Hi there!
The free file is the Easter CVC game at the bottom of the post. Just scroll to the bottom and put your email in. It will be sent to your email inbox. I hope your class loves it!
