ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Ten Little Pumpkins – Halloween Bedtime Story Read Aloud – Children’s Books
Once upon a time, there were 10 little pumpkins growing in a line. They were all so happy and bright!
One day, a farmer came by and picked up one pumpkin. Now, there were 9 little pumpkins left, bouncing in a crate.
Then, one pumpkin decided to bounce away, leaving 8 little pumpkins on a bumpy hayride. Whee!
A friendly pony came along and carried one pumpkin away. That left 7 little pumpkins doing magic tricks. Poof! One pumpkin disappeared, leaving 6 little pumpkins going for a drive.
One pumpkin jumped out to go trick or treating, leaving 5 little pumpkins grinning in the store.
A big black cat came and bought one pumpkin, leaving 4 little pumpkins as happy as can be.
Then, a spooky ghost grabbed one pumpkin, leaving 3 little pumpkins playing peekaboo. Boo!
Two bats found one pumpkin, leaving 2 little pumpkins having lots of fun together.
A skeleton came and took one pumpkin away, leaving just 1 little pumpkin smiling by himself.
Can you guess who might take the last pumpkin off the shelf? Use your imagination!
All 10 little pumpkins made such a perfect scene, glowing together on the night of Halloween. What a magical night!
The end.
Pumpkin Counting Adventure: Gather 10 small objects, like toy blocks or balls, to represent the pumpkins. As you read the story again, remove one object each time a pumpkin is taken away. Can you count how many are left each time? Try telling your own story with the objects, using your imagination to decide who takes each one!
Pumpkin Hunt: Go on a pumpkin hunt around your house or classroom. Look for objects that are orange or round, just like pumpkins! How many can you find? Count them and see if you can find 10. Share your findings with a friend and see if they found the same number.
Draw Your Pumpkin Story: Draw a picture of your own pumpkin adventure. What happens to your pumpkins? Do they go on a trip, or do they meet new friends? Use your imagination and share your story with the class. How many pumpkins are in your story, and what happens to them?
