Pumpkin Pie Graphing Board

Transform a science display board or any freestanding piece of cardboard
 into a versatile graphing board.  Cover the board with a solid color of adhesive
 covering.  Use colored tape to make the grid.  Label the rows and/or columns
 (YES and NO) using a permanent marker.  Ask the children if they like pumpkin
 pie.  Before graphing, let each child taste a slice of pumpkin pie.  To graph results,
 have each youngster tape a pumpkin cutout in the appropriate place.

 

Sorting

Let your children sort different fall items such as corn, acorns, gourds, or feathers.

 

Feather Sorting

Cut out several different feather shapes from construction paper or provide
 the children with store bought craft feathers (can be used the the above
 activity as well). Ask the children to sort the feathers according to color.
 Ask the children "How many red feathers do you have?" etc.

 

Feather Number Match

Cut the feather shapes from one color of paper. Label one set of feathers with
 numbers, i.e. if you have 20 children, label the feathers with the numbers one
 to ten. The other half, draw one dot on one, two on another, and so on until
 ten. Give each child one feather and have them find the child with their match.
