We like to use this poem every October. I love it-I remember when my girls learned it! We learn it as a poem and include it in our Poetry Journal to highlight rhyming words and punctuation. I thought I would make a reading activity for them to use during literacy centers.
At Hobby Lobby, I found the pumpkins, gates and stars in the wood section. I used the foam bats and stars that were left over from a sort & classify math activity that I also made. I love seasonal games, books and projects!
I used velcro to attach the pumpkins and the five story cards. The children can attach the pumpkins in any order they choose but will attach the story cards in order. After repeating the poem multiple times during whole group, they should be able to place the cards in order.
So that they may self-check, I have numbered the backs of the story cards.
