I couldn't go the week of Halloween without a pumpkin in my life…duh! I was inspired by this really awesome first grade teacher I work with for these Uh-oh Pumpkins!
Why UhOh? Cause my pumpkin fell and smashed on the floor! Uh oh! My kids had a lot of fun with this twist on the same old pumpkin crafts!
All you need are strips of orange paper and black paper…I also had some scraps around in a lot of different colors if they wanted to make a torn paper face, but lots of them just chose to draw their face! Even easier! Add glue and markers and off we go!
They wrote their speech words on each end of the strips, then glued them on the black page. Five strips, 2 words each…10 practice words to take home! Woot! Some of them even got more on their page…and I applaud their effort 🙂
They turned out so cute!
AND, for my early finishers and those working on language goals, I had this paper ready for them to write about what happened to their pumpkins! They had a lot of creative juices flowing…and I heard about more than one ninja!

Fun idea! I was thinking I could adapt this to use with antonyms or synonyms too! It would be fun to make it as a snowflake this winter as well!
I totally think it would make a great snowflake! And the antonyms/synonyms idea is perfect!!!
Thanks for the fun idea. It will be a quick prep activity —-I think I will even use it this afternoon. My artic group this afternoon is a preschool group so instead of writing the words I’ll have the kids glue on some target pictures. Thanks again…..now I better get some paper strips cut!!!
Super easy! I hope your students like it 🙂 Thank you, Kelly!
