Draw a school-inspired jack-o’-lantern

Pass out pumpkins and have students design and draw a jack-o’-lantern inspired by a book you read, their favorite novel, a biography, or even a science or social studies topic. Use this as an end-of-book assignment or to create a seasonal bulletin board.

Pumpkin advocates

Generate awareness about a topic students care about by having them research the topic and create a jack-o’-lantern to share information or inspiration about their topic. It could be a kitty pumpkin to raise awareness about an animal shelter, a pumpkin covered in lettuce to increase knowledge of healthy eating, or a pumpkin celebrating whatever they’re passionate about. 

Make stained-glass pumpkins

Cut out the pumpkin shape and fill in the outline with orange tissue paper to create a stained-glass effect. Great for window displays.

Pumpkin compliments

Use these pumpkins in an advisory or morning meeting activity. Give one pumpkin to each student. Have them write a compliment for a peer and then pass the pumpkin compliments around. (Note: You may want to assign each pumpkin a student’s name so that each student receives and gives a compliment.) 

Pumpkin life cycle

Use these pumpkins to create a pumpkin life cycle timeline. Students write what happens in each phase of a pumpkin’s life cycle, from seed to jack-o’-lantern.

Jack-o’-lantern game

Print pumpkins and lots of shapes. Students take turns rolling a di to determine how many of each shape they take. Then, they have to make a face or design with the amount of each shape they have. 

Pumpkin biography

Challenge students to create a famous person using only a pumpkin, shapes, and their imagination. If George Washington made a jack-o’-lantern, what would it look like? What about Amelia Earhart or Mae Jemison?
