ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Pete the Cat: Five Little Pumpkins – Halloween Story for Children – Kids Books
Let’s have fun with a story about pumpkins! It’s called “Pete the Cat: Five Little Pumpkins” by James Dean.
Once upon a time, there were five little pumpkins sitting on a gate. They were having a great time together!
The first pumpkin looked up at the sky and said, “Oh my, it’s getting late!” It was almost time for bed.
The second pumpkin felt a little scared and said, “There are witches in the air.” But don’t worry, they were just pretending!
The third pumpkin was very brave and said, “But we don’t care.” He wasn’t scared at all!
The fourth pumpkin was full of energy and said, “Let’s run and run and run.” He wanted to play and have fun!
The fifth pumpkin was super excited and said, “I’m ready for some fun! Trick or treat!” He loved Halloween!
Then, the wind went “whoosh,” and the lights went out. It was dark and spooky!
All of a sudden, the five little pumpkins rolled away and disappeared out of sight. Where did they go? Maybe they went to have more Halloween fun!
And that’s the story of the five little pumpkins. They had a great Halloween adventure. Happy Halloween to you too!
Pumpkin Counting Adventure: Gather five small pumpkins or use five round objects to represent pumpkins. Arrange them in a line and practice counting them together. Ask questions like, “What happens if one pumpkin rolls away? How many are left?” Encourage the children to rearrange the pumpkins and count again. This activity helps reinforce counting skills and introduces basic subtraction in a fun way.
Create Your Own Pumpkin Story: Provide paper and crayons for the children to draw their own pumpkin characters. Ask them to think about what their pumpkins might say or do if they were sitting on a gate. Encourage them to share their stories with the class. This activity promotes creativity, storytelling, and public speaking skills.
Explore the Wind: On a windy day, take the children outside to feel the wind. Ask them to close their eyes and listen to the sounds the wind makes. Discuss how the wind might have helped the pumpkins roll away in the story. Encourage them to think of other things the wind can move. This activity enhances observation skills and connects the story to real-world experiences.
