You can pick up my Pumpkin Party Pack at TPT here. It's on sale for only $1 until tomorrow! You can always stock up for next year!!! It includes station signs, directions to each activity (for the kids or volunteers), and recording sheets for each activity! 

I would also LOVE to give it away to three of my wonderful bloggy friends! Just leave me a comment and let me know what you're going to be for Halloween. :) I will choose three friends in the morning with the random number generator! 

Happy Halloween and best of luck with your kiddies ninjas and witches tomorrow!

Pumpkin Party Pack & A Freebie

I wanted to plan a "Pumpkin Party" for my class...and I searched high and low for recording sheets to go with all of the fun pumpkin activities you can do...

Pumpkin Measurement

Pumpkin Bowling 

Pumpkin Estimation Station

Sink or Float?

Make 20 game

and Odd or Even Seeds? 

But I couldn't find any. So I created them. :-) The more I worked on this project the more excited I became! All of the activities are aligned with 2nd grade Common Core math standards. And even though they're aligned with 2nd grade, they could easily be adapted to fit any grade level. 

I'm planning on spending an afternoon allowing the kids to move from station to station in small groups of 4-5 kids. I am hoping to get a parent volunteer to help at each station to explain directions, keep kids on track, and answer questions.

The pack includes a label for each station, directions for students and/or volunteers, a list of materials for each activity, recording sheets for each activity in color, gray scale, and black & white (you choose!), a parent volunteer request form, and a list of all of the Common Core standards that are addressed with each activity. 

Here is the Make 20 game for you as a freebie! Just click the picture! :-) 

Have a wonderful Sunday!!!
