It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown * Vocabulary and Writing Activities

What would Halloween be without this Peanuts classic? I love being able to share this little “gift” from Charles Schulz with my students. It always amazes me when I discover that some of them have never seen it! And of course, I can't pass up on an opportunity to engage my students in some fun vocabulary and writing activities based on this story.

These worksheets and writing activities are perfect

* Activity Packet Cover

* Word Search

* Fill in the Blanks

* Crossword Puzzle (with the word bank)

* Word Scramble

* Letter to Linus

* Retell the Story from a Character’s Point of View

* The Origins of the Great Pumpkin- Narrative

* Conversation with the Great Pumpkin- Narrative

* Plan your Halloween Party

* Lined writing paper

* ½ lined and ½ blank

* Blank paper for illustrations

* Answer Keys

*** I've also included a page that has links to "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" coloring pages AND to my YouTube playlist, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown-Classroom Playlist".

It’s such a charming movie for the holiday season, and my students always seem to enjoy any activity (even boring ol’ worksheets) that extends their experience and enjoyment of the Peanuts gang! I hope your students enjoy these activities as much as my 4th graders do! Enjoy

Cheers, and Happy Halloween! :)
