April is the time for kids to sing bunny songs, play bunny games and hunt for Easter eggs. I spent some time trying to find some good sites for you and your class to enjoy. I hope you'll agree that they are lots of fun.

Easter Bunny Trail has many treats and delights. Just to name a few, there is a traditions and customs page, a page about using natural dyes for your Easter egg hunt and in regard to Easter egg hunts, don't miss out on their finding egg tips. Remember Egg Safety to ensure that you have a successful and healthy Easter hunt.

Moving on down the trail, we find a great list of Easter Songs supplied for us at Lullabies and Other Songs for Children. I keep going back to this site because it is always so helpful in offering just the right seasonal songs for the music classroom. Take a look at this cute little movement song about the Easter Bunny's Feet. While you are at this site, you might want to check out how to get a message from the Easter Bunny.

Billy Bear's Easter Page has an assortment of fun and games. At this site you will find great coloring book pages, downloadable Easter jig-saw puzzles and Billy Bear's animated Easter story book. There is also an interactive Easter Story that requires a Java-capable browser.

Here is a Dance site that has a movie of the Bunny Hop and an explanation of the steps. I was very grateful, when a visitor emailed me with this information. I noticed at the site that they also have the dance steps for the Cotton-eyed Joe! Yee-haw!

Another interesting bit of info garnered from the site above is that there is an organization called KidSpeak that take nominations from teachers for certain quality, hard-working students to be spotlighted and interviewed. Here is the interview of the girls, Kristi and Erica, offered by KidSpeak. This might be a great way for you to honor or compliment some kids at your school. Check it out.
