We’re sure you’ve already heard “Can we play ‘Pumpkin Bones?'” countless times this school year!
This year, we hope you’re ready to take the song to another level. Below you’ll find ideas from fellow educators, new QuaverShop items, and additional resources for every educator in the school building.
Helpful Printables
Pumpkin Bones Activity Printables
Try these Pumpkin Bones Activity worksheets to go along with the “Pumpkin Bones” video. These worksheets are a great way to check for student understanding. They can be completed individually, with partners, or in groups.
Questions to Spark Discussion with Students:
- How did the children feel when they noticed all the pumpkins were missing?
- Do you think it’s appropriate for Pumpkin Bones to take things that don’t belong to him? Why or why not?
- Sharing is also important. What do you think Pumpkin Bones could have done with all his pumpkins so that others could enjoy them too?
- In the end, Pumpkin Bones returns all of the pumpkins. How does he make up for his mistake? How can we correct our mistakes? What does it look like in our actions and behavior when we correct mistakes?
- What feelings might you experience at Halloween time? Is it possible to feel more than one feeling at once? If so, describe.
- I think “Pumpkin Bones” is exciting, but my friend thinks it’s scary. How can I show empathy to my friend?
