About this worksheet
A first-next-then-last writing frame for fall: a pumpkin on the table, the lid off with a bowl of scooped-out seeds, a face drawn on with a marker and a glowing jack-o'-lantern at night. Each picture has two writing lines, and the answer key gives sample sentences. The answer key is on page 2. It matches first grade goals, roughly ages 6 to 7. Give each pumpkin a slightly different shade of orange.
Tips for using it
- Orange, purple, black and lime green make a classic Halloween palette.
- Color the sky dark blue for a night scene.
- Try classic orange pumpkins with green stems, or make one purple just for fun.
- Before numbering, ask your child to tell the story out loud using first, next, then and last.
