How to Use It

Step 1: Choose the centers you want for the week. Print them on card stock and laminate them so you can reuse them year after year.

Step 2: Introduce each activity in a small group. Add dry erase markers, clothespins, mini erasers or play dough for sensory fun, then move the activity into your math or literacy centers.

Step 3: Organize the centers by activity in zip-top bags or photo boxes. Rotate in new centers and bring out Easter BINGO for a whole-class game.

Materials You'll Need

• Card stock
• Laminating pouches and a laminator (for reuse)
• Dry erase markers
• Clothespins
• Mini erasers, gems or other counters
• Play dough
