100 free Easter Trivia for Kids trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Easter trivia for kids quiz is written for children roughly six to twelve, and for the grown-ups running an Easter party, a classroom game or a long car ride. Every question is easy enough for a child to have a fair shot at, and every topic is kid-safe: the Easter Bunny and where he came from, egg hunts and egg rolls, chocolate eggs and jelly beans, Peeps, hot cross buns, baby chicks, bunnies, lambs and butterflies, the first day of spring, and the giant egg roll on the White House lawn. If you want the grown-up version with dates, history and world traditions, our main Easter trivia quiz is the one to play. The questions start very easy (what animal brings the eggs, what a baby chicken is called, what a chocolate bunny is usually filled with) and get a little trickier for older kids and parents (which president started the White House Egg Roll, how many Peeps colours came first, what Australia's Easter animal is). Nothing needs to be memorised in advance; a lot of it can be worked out. Every answer was checked against the encyclopaedia entry for the subject before publishing, and the sentence that supports it is stored with each question.
