Easter
Its symbols, traditions, games
When and what
- Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring. That’s why it’s on a different date each year.
It is a Christian festival celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Easter traditions
- There are also Easter parades in the UK and in America. People wear Easter bonnets , decorated with spring flowers.
People in England enjoy the traditional Good Friday breakfast of hot cross buns. They are small cakes that have a cross on the top. The cross is a symbol of Christianity.

Easter games
There are two Easter games with eggs: “Hunt the egg” and “Egg rolling”.
The legend says an “Easter bunny” hides eggs in the garden and children have to find them on Easter morning. Sometimes the eggs are put in a basket.
Egg rolling is very popular in England and it’s an Easter Monday sport. Children roll hard-boiled eggs down a hill.
Easter poems
Some Things That Easter Brings
Easter duck and Easter chick,
Easter eggs with chocolate thick,
Easter hats for one and all,
Easter bunny makes a call!
Happy Easter always brings
Such a lot of pleasant things
I Had an Easter Bunny
I had an Easter bunny,
One day she ran away.
I looked for her by moonlight,
I looked for her by day.
I found her in the meadow
With her babies 1, 2, 3.
So now I have four rabbit pets
To run and jump with me
