Easter Egg SongD.Hollingworth
Easter Egg Match Up
Hide one of each of the matching Easter eggs around the room and
have an Easteregg hunt. Children should sit down when they have
found one egg (or howevermany you have allocated for each child to
nd.)
Have the matching eggs in a basket at the front of the class.
Once all the childrenhave found an egg and are seated, the teacher
takes an egg out of the basket and holdsit up while the group
singsEaster egg, Easter egg, can you nd my Easter egg?
Te child who has the matching Easter egg holds up his or her egg
and sings theanswerI have found your Easter egg.
Te child then brings the matching egg up and places it beside
the other. (A smallpiece of magnetic strip can be placed on the
back of each egg to enable them to beused on a magnet-board.)
Variations:
Instead of hiding the eggs, place them in a basket and have one
child pretend tobe the Easter bunny delivering the eggs.
For older children, play a passing game with the eggs: children
pass the eggsaround the circle to the beat, placing the eggs on the
oor in front of the childon their right. (Tis requires the skill of
passing to the beat for this game to besuccessful. It takes a bit
of practice.) At the end of the song the teacher holds upan egg and
the child holding the matching egg sings the answer.
Place a drum or an instrument in the middle of the circle. Te
child who ndsthe matching egg gets to keep the beat on the
instrument while the song is sungthe next time.
Play an accompaniment: use the notes C and G on an xylophone and
play onthe beat throughout the song. (Tis is called a bordun.) Te
child with thematching egg could be the child who plays the bordun
next.
Tip: For each pair of eggs, draw a small dot on the back of one
egg. Ten youcan easily hide just the eggs with the dots on them
rather than having to matchthem all up and divide them.
