Game: Hide The Pumpkin
Age: Preschool and Elementary School age
Supplies: One or more pumpkin(s)
What to do: Hide a pumpkin somewhere outside. For younger kids, make it somewhat obvious. Whoever finds the pumpkin then hides it next.
Variations:
Have a pumpkin for each child. Each child finds a pumpkin and then hides it for another child to find.
Give hints of “hot” or “cold” if a child is having a difficult time finding the pumpkin.
Have the child hide a large pumpkin. This can help them work on strength, and give a chance for heavy work.
This activity goes great with the “Pumpkin Curves” lesson in “Tree Rings And Other Things: A Hands-On Curriculum to Teach Pre-Writing Shapes” .
