Fall Themed Activities for Kids

Turkey trot and Turkey yoga. The kids have a blast going fast, slow, hopping, running in place like a turkey

Have them form a turkey conga line and trot like turkey's along each shape taped on the floor

Sailing The Mayflower water play. Have them try to blow the sails.

I made these with craft sticks and wooden blocks. I would pre write the names of the kids on the sails and laminate prior to class. Ours flopped too soon during this play.

As a sensory and fine motor activity, have them shuck corn

Cook their corn for snack time.

Lay out several buckets of hay and let them help you build a scare crow

As a sensory, sorting and fine motor activity, give them a bucket of white beans and black raisins. Let them get a close up of their differences with a magnifying glass. Have them collect all the raisins with clothes pins or tweezers. Harvester's need to sort out the bad crops from the good crops. What is Harvesting? Are a few good discussion points during this activity
