4 Seasons Activities Part 4

1-2-3 Come Do Some 4 Seasons Activities With Me #4

"4 Seasons Writing Prompt Circle Puzzle Craftivities" is the final packet in my "4 Seasons 4-Part Series".

I hope you enjoyed learning about the new things I've been designing, to help my students have fun with the 4 seasons.

This Packet Includes:

5 circular PUZZLES
WRITING prompts, with lined & unlined patterns
2 GRAPHING extensions
“4 Seasons Scoot to a Corner” GAME and …
“Are You Listening?” Whole group ASSESSMENT activity.

* Puzzles:

To immerse little ones in becoming familiar with the 4 seasons, I’ve included a 4-part circle puzzle. There’s a puzzle piece that represents each season.

Children place the appropriate piece on the labeled base. In no time at all my students are able to actually "read" these words!

As always, I’ve included a black & white version, so that students can make their own 4 seasons puzzle.

Besides this puzzle, there’s also a colorful collection of 4 puzzles depicting each season separately.

For example, in the photo on the right, each of the 4 pieces have items that are seen in the fall.

* Just For FUN!

My kiddos actually beg to play the “4 Seasons Scoot to a Corner” game. It’s a perfect “calm down” activity for the end of the day. Super-easy, a ton of fun & takes only a few minutes. Bonus: Students are really quiet! Woo Hoo.

* Are You Listening?

I designed this because “Listening & Following Directions” is one of our report card standards. This is a quick, easy & fun way to leave a “paper trail” proving if your students do or don’t.

This whole group activity also acts as an assessment, checking students' understanding of the 4 seasons.

* Let’s WRITE!

“Winter? Spring? Summer? Fall? Which is your favorite season of them all?”

My kiddos absolutely love sharing their opinions, so when I turn those into a writing prompt, they are excited to get right down to business.

Students have a choice of writing about their favorite or least favorite season (you could also do both & use one as a homework assignment).

I’ve included a “seasonal circle” to use as a “topper” where students can draw a picture, which represents some part of their writing.

There’s also a graphing extension you can do afterwards.

* More Options:

Instead of, or in addition to, students can complete the “I like to…” writing prompt, which involves all 4 seasons.

As you can see by the photo on the right, I’ve included “toppers” as well as “banner bottoms” to add extra pizzazz to their work.

The photograph also shows the various levels of writing. Younger students can write or dictate simple sentence answers, while older kiddos can add more descriptive words.

Students can also choose to use the circular puzzle pattern for their "topper" or a square version, pictured on the left. Note that I've topped the square off with a semi circle, which can be seen in the middle picture to the right.

Completed projects make a cute bulletin board or hallway display.

I’ve included a “Sensational Seasonal Writing!” poster to highlight children’s work.

Today's featured FREEBIE is a 100 Day "Rip & Tear" craftivity.
