Ditch the Easter Vocab Lists—Add These Useful Three Phrases to Your Bilingual Home Instead!

Writer: Homeschool LanguagesHomeschool Languages

This Easter, let’s do something that actually moves you closer to your bilingual goals! No more wasting time on random words you’ll forget next week (do you really need to know how to say "marshmallow chick" in another language?). Instead, let’s use this holiday as a fun way to introduce everyday phrases that will stick with your family all year long.


At Homeschool Languages, we believe in teaching through real moments—because language isn’t something you cram, it’s something you live. And holidays are the perfect excuse to slowly weave in new phrases that make sense for your life.


By the end of the year, you won’t just know a few seasonal words—you’ll have over 100+ phrases effortlessly woven into your family’s daily routine. Say hello to a bilingual household!! This is our year of making that happen—starting today :)



Phrase #1: “Busca los huevos.” (Find the eggs.)

Because Easter egg hunts are the highlight for kids—and repetition makes learning stick—this phrase fits naturally into an Easter egg hunt, making it fun and interactive. Plus, you can keep using it whenever you’re searching for something!


How to start using it today:

During your Easter egg hunt, say “Busca los huevos” and encourage your child to repeat it. Challenge them to count (in Spanish) how many eggs they’ve found so far! Turn it into a game—hide an object anytime and use "Busca" to have them find it.

How to keep it going after Easter: Use “Busca” for everyday moments—looking for a missing toy, shoes, or even the TV remote! The phrase sticks because it’s useful beyond the holiday.



🌟 Special Note: Remember, bilingual means TWO languages—you don’t need to know every word in Spanish right away! Start with “Busca,” and if you don’t know how to say the rest, just use English. Use what you know, and the rest will come sooner than you think. No stress, just fun!





Phrase #2: “Comparte.” (Share.)

Why it’s useful: Because Easter baskets are FULL of goodies, and let’s be honest—kids don’t always love sharing them.

Easter is a great time to practice generosity, and this phrase helps reinforce that in a simple way.

How to start using it today: When your child gets a treat, casually say “Comparte” and offer a small piece of yours too. If they resist, just keep modeling it—kids learn best by watching. Make it fun—try a “sharing swap” where they share a treat and you trade one back!

How to keep it going after Easter: Use "Comparte" during meals, playtime, and family activities. The more you weave it into daily life, the more natural it becomes.


Phrase #3: “Revisa tu canasta.” (Check your basket.)

Why it’s useful: Because kids LOVE checking their Easter baskets—it’s part of the fun! This phrase makes the moment even more exciting while encouraging them to keep track of their treasures.

How to start using it today: During an egg hunt, say “Revisa tu canasta” when your child wants to see what they’ve collected. Before enjoying their treats, remind them to check their basket to see what surprises they have. Turn it into a game—hide a special prize in their basket and encourage them to find it!

How to keep it going after Easter: Use “Revisa...” anytime your child needs to check what they’ve gathered—whether it’s their backpack before school, a toy bin, or a grocery basket. If they come to you looking for something, encourage them to check their room or usual spots by saying, “Revisa...” It’s a great way to build independence, responsibility, and language skills in everyday moments!
