Description

Add this perfect kindergarten, first and second grade library lesson to your Halloween reading activities for Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman. Resource includes puppet retelling, reader's theater, sequencing, and more while providing a differentiated review of story elements in the library or classroom. THE BOOK IS NOT INCLUDED.

After an initial reading of this great story (check your library), your students will LOVE retelling using the character puppets. And they will all join in repeating the onomatopoeias. Story Elements and Sequencing will come naturally with the events in the story. A culminating performance using the Reader's Theater will top off the unit like whipped cream on pumpkin pie!

Here is what is included:

  • 7 character pictures to make into puppets with
  • 7 word cards to match the characters (witch, pumpkin, ghost, mummy, vampire, bat, pumpkin pie)
  • 12 sentence strips to sequence the elements and events in the story
  • 3 charts to study Story Elements, Onomatopoeia, Author's Purpose
  • 7-page booklet to make with a fun, simple-to-read Reader's Theater script to retell the story
  • BONUS: Includes character names in Spanish
