After reading the book, tell your kids that they're going to all take turns to go to the "pumpkin patch" to find a pumpkin, just like Duck and Goose!Īctivity targets: "where" questions, prepositions, following directions Note: While you are reading the book, have the classroom teacher or a para hide the paper pumpkins around the room in places the kids can easily see and access.

This is one of my all-time favorite Halloween books, so I hope this gives you some ideas of how to use it for a whole group circle time lesson! Let me know you'll be using this book this Halloween! This was more during individual therapy using this book, but I have one kiddo working on /w/ and /m/ sounds, so we worked on. I'll ask them, "What did the witch say?" after the animals ask their question, and I give them the visual model of the ASL sign for "yes" right away to get them to say 'yes' instead of echoing. I have some kiddos working on answering yes/no without echoing back part of the question. "She dropped a." or "She said 'yes'" (to each of the animals when they asked to join) Work on pronoun "she" with the sentences, You can also program, "Is there room for me?" or "Down!" onto a Big Mack switch, too. ProLoQuo: from the home screen, model, "I come?" or "I get on?" or, in the "places" folder, you can model, "Can I come?" Also model "go" for each time they fly away "Go" (each time for "whoosh, they were gone") "Down!" (for each time it gets to the, "Down! Cried the witch" part) If you have kids in your group who are working on ASKING questions, make sure they are holding an animal, so they can come to the witch and say, "Is there room for me?" or "Can I get on?" Sharing is an important preschool skill! :) When their turn is done, they have to either pass it on down the line, or choose a specific friend and tell them it's their turn. When all the items are in, everyone gets to stir it up.
We also work on "put in" directions with the items that go in the cauldron. The bird finds the bow and brings it over) (The frog finds the wand and brings it to the witch. Give your kiddo a field of two choices, ask them to find a specific one, and that's the prop they get to hold. the part where the witch "looks around, but no (bow, wand, hat) could be found": we put our hands above our eyes like we're looking out, searching for the item One- it's just good to be moving and keep their attention, and two- some of my kids on the spectrum have motor imitation goals!
There are enough unique characters/objects for up to 13 kids, though, if you hand out the witch, the 4 animals, the 3 lost items, the bucket/cauldron, and the 4 items that go in the cauldron.Īctions:I always, always, always try to incorporate actions into our circle time. The max number of kids I have in a class is 8, so 7 students held an animal or an object that the witch lost, and 1 student held the bucket/cauldron. Give each of the kids a prop to hold ahead of time- this method went MUCH more smoothly than trying to give out props as we read the story. You can also search for clip art images for each of these items if you don't have objects available! My broom was made out of brown construction paper taped together (::cue Iggy Azalea, "Fancy" :: (jk, I actually really hate that song)). I used a paint stirrer for the stick, a dog bone toy from a Pet Vet set (but you can find a cheap dog bone chew toy at Target for $1-$2), a princess wand from the Target $1 spot a few years ago, a fake flower (you can find these at any craft store or the Dollar Tree), and a pine cone from my Christmas decor! Totally worth the small fortune my parents spent, right?). I used a printable witch on a popsicle stick, and plush beanie baby toys for the animals (Looks like my 90s kid obsession paid off, after all. Objects: broom, witch hat, bow, wand, pine cone (I legit dug through my Christmas decoration tub in my basement storage room to get one- #dedication), a bone, flower, stick, and a bucket for your "cauldron." I found my black jack-o-lantern bucket at Target for $1, and the witch hat was only $3!
