Picture prompts are a great way to get children talking. Here we have some lovely autumnal pumpkin pictures to spark conversation. We have included some suggested questions and talking points to inspire you.
Sing along (or just read, if you prefer) to the traditional song, Five Currant Buns. It is great for familiarising children with the numbers 1 to 5, and also, of course, is an early introduction to "taking away" or subtracting.
Here's a pictorial print-out of a simple pumpkin pie recipe for kids to tackle in the kitchen! We've used a can of pumpkin puree to make the process easy, and the finished pie is gloriously sweet and flavoursome. Add a squirt of cream to your slice and enjoy!
Can the kids identify a circle, retangle, square and triangle, and match them with the words? We've turned the shapes into pumpkins to make them more fun! Perfect for autumn, Harvest, Halloween or Thanksgiving.
