Easter Break Challenges
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Easter Break Challenges" is written for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade (Ages 7-11). It also works a grade below or above: younger children can use it with an adult reading it aloud, and older ones as a quick refresher.
Jelly bean and toothpick STEM challenges for 2nd to 5th grade: 6 hands-on tests, from Tallest Tower and Spoon Catapult to a Dissolving Test. Part of our Easter holiday activities collection.

How do I use this resource?
An adult helps because toothpicks are sharp. Jelly beans are for building only, not for eating, so check for food allergies first, and launch jelly beans only at a paper target, never at a person.

FAQ

An adult helps because toothpicks are sharp. Jelly beans are for building only, not for eating, so check for food allergies first, and launch jelly beans only at a paper target, never at a person.
What are the Easter Break Challenges?
⌄
One page with 6 challenges, each with a line to record what happened: Tallest Tower, Strong Bridge, Bean Bottle Flip, Spoon Catapult, Dissolving Test and Shape Builder. Children measure in inches, count coins and toothpicks, and compare jelly beans in cold and warm tap water.
Can I use the Easter Break Challenges at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 2nd Grade to 5th Grade Easter resources are there?
⌄
5 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 91 Easter resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Easter activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Easter resources for?
⌄
These are written for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 7-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Easter resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
