This Fall Pumpkin-Themed Errorless File Folder Game is designed for early learners and special education classrooms, offering an engaging, no-fail learning experience. Perfect for students with autism and other developmental needs, this resource uses the principles of errorless learning to build confidence and essential skills in a structured, supportive environment.

What’s Included:

• Colorful pumpkin task cards

• Two types of worksheets:

  • Table format: Pumpkins are placed in clearly defined boxes, helping students match colors and shapes in an organized manner.
  • Randomly placed pumpkins: A more flexible layout where students can freely attach pumpkins, reinforcing the idea that there are no wrong answers.

• Both worksheets include optional gray dots to guide pumpkin placement with Velcro.

Key Features and Benefits:

• No Wrong Answers: Designed with errorless learning in mind, this activity allows students to practice matching and attaching pumpkins without the pressure of making mistakes. Every response is correct, boosting their confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
• Left-to-Right Task Completion: The activity encourages students to complete tasks in a left-to-right sequence, an important foundation for literacy and math development.
• Hands-On, Tactile Learning: The use of laminated file folder games with Velcro and detachable pumpkin cards makes this a fun, interactive way for students to engage in the activity. It promotes fine motor skills and sensory involvement.

How to Use and Prepare:

1. Print and Laminate the colorful pumpkin task cards and corresponding worksheets with pumpkin outlines for durability.
2. Add Velcro: Attach Velcro dots to the back of the colorful pumpkins and on the worksheet. For worksheets with gray dots, place the Velcro over these dots to guide students on where to attach the pumpkins.
3. Organize: Set up the worksheets in a file folder and store the detachable pumpkins in a clear pouch or pocket for easy access and storage.
4. Use: Introduce the activity by guiding students to detach and reattach the pumpkins, explaining that there is no wrong way to complete the task. Whether used for independent work or as part of a group activity, this file folder game promotes success and engagement.

This resource is ideal for special education teachers, therapists, or parents seeking a structured, error-free activity that supports early learners in building essential skills through hands-on, interactive play.

The Differentiated 1st Grade IMSE OG Companion for CONCEPT #33 is an essential resource designed to enhance the learning experience for young students, particularly in the domains of reading and spelling. This versatile tool is tailored to accommodate the diverse needs of both general education and special education classrooms, making it a must-have for any kindergarten educator.

I use this with my special education students as a replacement to the IMSE OG printables for red words, word dictation and sentence dictation so that my students are able to participate in their grade level content even if it is not at their work level.

How to Use Red Words: On the first page, students match letters of the red word first using magnetic letters, then using letter coins, and finally using scrabble letters. On the second page, students place the bumpy screen behind the paper. Then they trace the red word and write the red word in the letter boxes. On the third page, students use letter stamps and a red stamp pad to stamp the word as many times on the line as they can fit.

How to Use Word Dictation: First, students will match the dictated word letters using scrabble letters. Then, they will write or trace the word on the line below the scrabble letters. They will complete each word at the same pace as the classroom.

How to Use Sentence: First, teacher or student cut out each word box (teacher picks level colored or black depending on student needs). If using the colored word boxes, the student matches the word box color to the empty boxes
to complete the dictated sentence. If the student is using the black word boxes, they will listen to the dictated sentence and order the word boxes to complete the dictated sentence. After gluing the word boxes in correct sentence order, the student will re-write or trace the sentence on the lines below.

Skills Worked On:

-Red Word Identification

-Word Dictation

-Writing

How to use in your Classroom:

-Replacement for IMSE OG Red Word, Word Dictation, and Sentence Dictation

This is a free sampler of my What Belongs? Series and includes pages from each of the four What Belongs? resources: Holidays, Places and Habitats, Rooms of the House, and Seasons. This is a great way to try out these cut, sort, and paste worksheets to see if they're a good fit for your classroom or homeschool!

Included with this sampler are several of the Thanksgiving, Forest, Laundry Room, and Summer worksheets. I've included examples of all three types of worksheets that come in the full versions. On "What belongs in..." worksheets, students cut out the pictures and glue the ones that fit the theme in the box. On "What is missing in..." worksheets, students cut out and glue the missing pieces on the picture to create a scene that matches the theme. And on the comparison worksheets, students have to decide which theme the pictures match and glue them in the correct box.

*Please note: I've included black and white versions of the comparison and "What belongs in..." worksheets in the freebie, but both color and black and white are included in the full versions.*

The full versions of the What Belongs? units include fall, winter, spring, and summer, year long holidays like Halloween, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, Easter, and more, plus habitats/places such as the Arctic, the ocean, the farm, and the rooms of the house such as the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and more.

These are great for preschool or kindergarten, in special education classrooms, and in homeschools teaching various ages! I have even used the comparison worksheets for my middle elementary aged child in our homeschool as a fun holiday reprieve from his regular work!
