Spookley The Square Pumpkin Activities

Spookley The Square Pumpkin is always a favorite Halloween read-aloud. It’s a great book about being unique, tolerance, and perseverance. After reading the book, we completed these activities.

For all of our Spookley The Square Pumpkin lessons, we used our Read It Up! resource! Click the image below to learn more about this resource in our TKS Store. It is also available in our TPT Store.

Spookley The Square Pumpkin

We start our literacy activities by making predictions. Making predictions about a story excites our readers’ neurons, engaging them more in the story and helping them focus on it. As we make predictions based on the cover, we record them using our graphic organizer.

After reading the book, we go back and revisit our predictions and write about what actually happened in the story.

Then, we complete a story map to focus on the story elements.

As we completed our story map, we also identified a problem and solution from the story. Students then complete their own story map. After they finish their story map, they must retell the story using the illustrations they drew.
