Easter Bunny Songs for Young English Learners

Can you guess why I'm posting these cute creatures today? 

It was Easter in Britain and other European countries this Sunday. Here in Ukraine we are celebrating it in a fortnight. Easter Bunny is one of the symbols of Easter in the English-speaking countries. 

The following songs are great for teaching English in primary school. They provide the opportunity to move and create an Ester atmosphere.

All over the UK people are making, wearing and sharing green hearts in the run-up to Valentine’s Day, for the things we love and want to protect from climate change. It’s a beautiful way to begin a conversation about the things we love that climate change threatens, and the clean energy choices we must make to protect our world.

Make your green heart to show your love to the Earth.
