Easter song and bunny craft for EFL learners



























Our Easter theme this year is focused around bunny rabbits. I want the children to learn a bit more about how Easter in celebrated in the UK and at the same time revise prepositions and parts of the face vocabulary. I'm doing this through a well known nursery rhyme and a simple bunny rabbit cup craft. I'm doing this activity with a group of children aged 3 to 5.
