Pumpkin Seed Counting and Sorting
-Cover tables with butcher paper
-Break class up into small groups
-Give each group a medium to large sized pumpkin with tops already cut open
-Have students scoop out the seeds and put on butcher paper to sort into different categories (small, large, white, tan, smooth, bumpy, etc.)
-Put seeds into a large plastic bowl
-Give students gallon sized baggies to put seeds into as they count together in the group
-Have students write total number of seeds on outside of bag.
-Over the long weekend, take seeds home and ROAST them J Bring back to school for students to taste during snack time. (Or you could put seeds in little baggies and staple a pumpkin seed roasting recipe to the baggie for them to try at home!

Pumpkin Math
Great Pumpkin Line Up
-each student has a pumpkin (if you cannot get pumpkins, have them make their own with construction paper with no tracing template, you want each to be different sized)
-have students line pumpkins up according to size (tallest to shortest)
-best if you call one student up at a time to measure if it is shorter or taller -reinforce with ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
Attribute & Comparison graph
- each child needs a pumpkin
- record different attributes on chart paper (size, shape, type of stem, texture,
color, weight)
-select 1 attribute a day to graph using picture graphs, bar graphs, post-its, or
stickers.
How Big Around is my pumpkin?
-estimate how big around the pumpkin is by cutting a piece of string
- measure pumpkin using estimation string
-graph using “too long” “too short” “just right”
Estimation:
-estimate number of lines on pumpkin
-estimate number of seeds
Science:
-Write descriptive sentences about their pumpkin
- pick two pumpkins to decompose (The Great Pumpkin Race)
-1 in a cool dark spot
-1 in a warm bright area
-students can keep daily log of pumpkins

Pumpkin Passing Game
Give the traditonal game of musical chairs a bit of a Halloween twist and then some!
Materials Needed:
· Mini Pumpkins
· Music
· Paint or Markers
Instructions:
There are no losers in this game if you make sure you have enough mini pumpkins for everyone! As each player gets 'out', give them a small pumpkin and let them go to a designated area and decorate it using markers or paint.
This game is played the same way as 'Hot Potato'. Everyone who is playing sits or stands in a circle. Start the music and start passing a small pumpkin around the circle. If you have quite a few people, you can pass 2 or more pumpkins at a time.
The pumpkin travels around the circle of people until the music suddenly stops. The person who is holding the pumpkin when the music stops is 'out' and leaves the circle.
Start the music and pumpkin passing again and continue until there's only one person left.

Five Little Pumpkins Interactive Song
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate (show five fingers)
The first one said, “oh my…it’s getting late!” (hands on cheeks /home alone expression)
The second one said, “there are witches in the air!” (look scared)
The third one said, “I don’t care!” (Hands out, palms up)
The fourth one said, “Let’s run and run and run! (Stomp feet to feign running)
The fifth one said, “It’s only Halloween fun!” (shake pointer finger)
Then whoooooooo went the wind… (sway arms back and forth)
And out (clap) went the lights
And the five little pumpkins (show 5 fingers) rolled out of sight! (roll arms)

Halloween Fright
In the starry dark
Of the autumn sky,
A ghost-shaped cloud
Went drifting by.
That cloudy ghost
Looked down to see
A boy-shaped shadow
That belonged to me.
My shadow and the cloud
Gave each other quite a fright,
Then they shared a laugh together
On a Halloween night.

Then they shared a laugh together
On a Halloween night.
