FIVE LITTLE PUMPKINS BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

In each version of Five Little Pumpkins, the story begins with five little pumpkins sitting on a gate. It's night time, and it's getting late (and dark outside!)

Each page has a pumpkin saying something about the evening. It makes for a great counting book, from one to five. It also highlights sequential order and is good for retelling purposes with respect to sequencing the events of the story in order.

This Halloween story is fun, but not in a scary way for Kindergarten and First Grade students. At the end of the story, the wind blows out the lights so it's pitch dark- perfect for spooky Halloween fun!

The story ends with the five little pumpkins rolling out of sight. Where do they go?
