Watermelon Hop Scotch

Draw watermelon halves or slices on sidewalk.  Put a different amount of seeds in each one.
  Either have the children hop from one to another as in hopscotch or call out a number and
 have the children hop across all the slices until they land on the slice with that many seeds.

Guess What?

Hide a watermelon in a box. On the outside write clues describing the watermelon.
 During circle time show the box and read the clues. Invite volunteers to guess.
 After all guesses are in, unveil the melon. For older students -
 list other descriptive words or phrases for watermelon

Watermelon Number Game

Precut some watermelon shapes (cut circles out of green and red construction paper -
 with the green ones being slightly larger than the red; cut in half, glue red to green and
 you've got your watermelons)... on half of the watermelons draw a certain number of seeds
 on the other half write a number and have the child count the seeds to match the number or you
 can just write numbers on them and then save some real watermelon seeds to have the child
 place on the watermelon to match the number.

Watermelon Alphabet Game

Make a green long vine garden. Make 26 Watermelons. Laminate the green
 long vine on the floor with clear contact paper, but before contacting it put on
 the vines big capital letters. Just letters in different positions of the vine and
 contact it down. The letters have to be big. On the watermelons have the
 lowercases and make 26 of them and have them laminated for sturdiness and durability.
 Give the kids a mixed up number of watermelons and have them match them to the floor.
 I did this a few years ago. Great game.

Watermelon Seed Transfer Game

Make copies of a large watermelon pattern with different numbers of seeds.
 Color, cut out, and laminate each pattern. Give the children tweezers and real
 watermelon seeds. Invite them to use the tweezers to transfer seeds from a dish to
 a watermelon, creating a one to one match with the seeds drawn on the watermelon .

Have a seed-spitting contest outdoors.

Enormous Watermelon

Play the "enormous watermelon" game.
Use an old 6" square cube that holds pictures.  Place a picture to represent
some of the children's favorite nursery rhymes.  On one side place a picture
of an enormous watermelon.  Sit in chairs and roll the dice.  Sing whatever
nursery rhyme appears on top.  Most nursery rhymes can be sung to "99
Bottles of Beer"  If the watermelon appears everyone yells, "The Enormous
Watermelon!" and everyone scrambles to find a new chair.
