Pumpkin Activities and Ideas

I have a few fun pumpkin activities and ideas for you to use this fall season in your classroom. The pumpkin activities can be used for grades K-4th. You will find reading and math pumpkin activities that will still be educational and go along with any curriculum. Scroll down below to see all my pumpkin resources. Some are FREE and some are paid products. 

FREE Pumpkin Glyph is a fun project to do with students during the fall or holiday season. This glyph uses a legend that students have to follow to make a pumpkin that describes them. Once all the pumpkins are made, will the students be able to tell which pumpkin belongs to which student? Click the picture on the left to download it from TPT.

Here are 3 PLACE VALUE blocks that students match the blocks with the number. These packs have 10s, 100s, amd 1000s place. Click on the pictures below to read more about them. 

Here is a FUN and FREE game to help learn addition facts. Cut apart all the addition task cards and place them in a coffee can. Students take turns drawing task cards and stating the sum on each one. If the student says the correct sum, they get to keep the card. If the students says the wrong sum, they have to the card back in the coffee can. If a student picks a Poison Pumpkin card, they have to put ALL their cards back in the can. Beware! this game gets a little loud. But the students are learning and having fun too! Click on the picture to download this freebie. 

Do your students need some help distinguishing from antonyms and synonyms? This pack has 50 task cards. Students decide if the 2 words on the task cards are antonyms or synonyms. This comes in a cute pumpkin theme. Great to brighten up your reading centers this fall season.

Pumpkin "_ed" Sounds has 40 task cards. Students try to find the matching word that makes the same ending sound. Another cute pumpkin theme to use for your reading centers. These are perfect for 1st and 2nd graders.
