Pumpkin Adjectives

As we continue to build our knowledge of nouns, adjectives, and verbs, we decided to have a fun, fall themed activity to go along with these skills. After finding 5 of the weirdest, different pumpkins, students were tasked with using adjectives to describe each of the pumpkins. 

Students took turns going to five different tables and exploring the pumpkins. As they did so, they were writing on an adjective paper the colors, shapes, size, and feels of each pumpkin. Students had so much fun practicing writing adjectives of the different, goofy pumpkins! After writing adjectives, students were given a pumpkin tracer to write a cinquain poem about pumpkins. Cinquain poems are 5-line poems that start with a subject in line 1, two adjectives to describe the subject in line 2, three verbs describing the subject in line 3, a four word sentence describing the pumpkin, and then line 5 was a synonym to the subject. Students had a ton of fun decorating their pumpkins and writing these poems!
