15 Easter Kindness Activities to Raise Kinder Kids This Spring

Inside: Help your kids show a little more kindness with these 15 Easter Kindness Activities.

My kids love celebrating Easter. They love the bunny pancakes I make them, dying eggs, and of course the goodies the Easter Bunny leaves for them to find.

So they love counting down to Easter every year.

And instead of just asking Alexa every day how many days are left until the Easter Bunny comes, we’ve created a way to incorporate a countdown to Easter and more kindness activities.

Every day, as we get closer to the holiday, my kids and I do one of these kindness activities.

These Easter kindness activities are perfect for spring and include being kinder to the earth, kinder to neighbors and spreading some Easter cheer.

Why Should We Even Do Kindness Activities?

We are on purpose raising our kids to be kind.

We talk about it all the time with these 60 kindness discussion starters. We have them say this Kindness Promise and these Kindness Affirmations.

We read kindness books.

And we have made Being Kind one of our two family rules.

We do this Spring Kindness Challenge and this March Volunteer Activity and this April Volunteer Activity.

But we also have to inspire them to act. We have to encourage them to act with kindness. And most kids have no idea where to even start.

So we need to help them show their kindness by giving them ideas on how to be kind more often.

We use Kindness Elves to inspire them to be kind and we use these fun paper chain countdowns around holidays to spread a little extra kindness.

And we play this Easter-themed Kind or Unkind Sort.

Supplies Needed for Easter Kindness Activities:

1.5-inch x 10-inch construction paper strips
stapler and staples
scissors
gluestick

How to Make the Paper Chain Countdown:

1. Download and print the 15 Easter Kindness Activities Sheet (download below).

2. Cut the strips apart.

3. Glue the strips onto construction paper strips.

4. Turn the first strip into a loop and staple.

5. Link the next strip through the first loop and staple.

6. Continue until all the links are looped through.

7. Hang the Easter Kindness Paper Chain somewhere you’ll see it.

15 days before Easter, rip off one of the links and do the kindness activity together.

Because Easter changes dates every year, you’ll have to do a little math to figure out when to start this paper chain countdown.

Continue every day until you get to Easter and you will have done 15 Kindness Activities.
