This is a great activity for your young learners to practice matching and saying their shapes.

3. Fall Leaf Color Matching Game: This game is a fun color-matching activity for your little learners. Each leaf is a different color. Have your students practice saying and matching each color together.

4. Pumpkin Letter Match Game: This activity has both Uppercase and lowercase letters and is a perfect activity for your young learners to practice matching the correct letters together. You should attach the #2 pages of pumpkins (Uppercase letters) to the file folder and then cut out the #1 page of pumpkin seeds (lowercase letters). I would attach a velcro dot at the top of each pumpkin and then on the back of each pumpkin seed in order to make the letter matching process easier for your students.

You will attach the turkey pages with numbers 1-10 on them to the file folder. Once that is done cut out and laminate the turkeys with different amounts of dots on them. These will be the number flashcards. Your students will count how many dots are on each flashcard and then attach it to the correct number on the file folder game.

- Pumpkin Pie Letter Match Game: This game is a fun way to incorporate Uppercase & lowercase letter matching practice. You will attach the Uppercase Letters (Pumpkin Pies) to the file folder and then cut out the whip cream (lowercase letters).
