Fall Activities for Kindergarten and 1st Grade

Leaves Are Falling Song and Activities

Don’t you just LOVE all the fall colors? The Northeastern states are always packed with visitors looking to catch the peak color of the changing trees. I grew up in Michigan and have to admit I miss seeing the trees turn those brilliant colors…but hated the bare limbed trees….Don’t miss all the raking though!

We wrote a song about falling leaves. Easily sung to the tune Are You Sleeping? AKA Frere Jacques, it comes loaded with Beginning readers and a path games with word cards (with EDITABLE cards so any words can be added). Themed writing paper, Math BUMP games and math practice sheets are also provided. Check out this wonderful addition to your Fall-themed studies! Leaves Are Falling

Fun BUMPER Game…played just like Math BUMP but with words!

This MOST popular game is one our students LOVE to play! Choose one of the 4 mats and either the cards or the Word Spinner. A player places one of their 10 Unifix cubes on the mat matching the word they just turned over. Play passes to the next player. They turn over a card (or spin the word spinner) and place their cube on their word. Once a player turns over a word that has the opponent’s cube on it they get to BUMP that cube off and place their cube there. Students LOVE to BUMP…..all in good fun, of course! When a player gets a word that has THEIR cube on it, they add a second cube and “Lock” that space. It can never be bumped off. Play continues until one player has placed all of their 10 cubes on the game mat. Children beg to play this again and again. FALL FRIENDS BUMPER
