Kindergarten Activities for October

I love October. It is my favorite month to make resources and I always find the cutest Halloween clip art. It officially starts to feel like fall in the south (if we are lucky.) I love all things October! I chose the best read-aloud books for these kindergarten activities for October.

October Book Selections

These books are fun and engaging! I think they are my favorite set in this series but I am biased because I love October!

Creepy Carrots

Peanut Butter and Brains

Creepy Pair of Underwear

October Lesson Plan Overview

This format makes planning kindergarten activities for October a breeze. First, there is an editable version that you can copy and paste or a script that you can read or even leave for a sub.

I have had the “big box curriculum” before and they are always missing something (several in fact.) They are never easy to read or implement. These plans are EASY to implement and make sense. Also, these included scripts are perfect for new teachers or sub plans!

Kindergarten Reading Routine

When your kindergarten lesson plans for reading are organized and structured into a routine, you will find that your class runs smoother. The students know what to expect each day and they will be much more successful! These lesson plans have a very clear outline which continues throughout the series and I have also included scripts which are GREAT for new teachers!

Here is the outline of each day of the week.

Monday- Read the story and focus on the characters and setting.

Tuesday- Read the story and focus on the vocabulary.

Wednesday- Read the story and focus on retelling the story and sequencing events.

Thursday- Focus on the problem and solution and/or text- dependent questions.

Friday- There is a writing craft and a kindergarten-friendly comprehension assessment.

If you love these plans check out my post all about kindergarten lesson plans for September here.

October Preschool Themes

October brings lots of opportunities for learning activities and themes. The fall season offers several natural elements to explore (pumpkins, leaves). Your class could explore Halloween; but even if you do not use that occasion, you can explore spiders and scarecrows and other aspects that have nothing to do with scary or imaginary themes. Use these preschool curriculum themes to explore this October.

FIRE SAFETY October is Fire Safety Month. During October, talk about firefighters and ways to be safe in a fire. You may want to expand to other safety and community helpers with this theme. Books About Firefighters Fire Truck Activities for Preschoolers Fire Safety Videos Fire Safety Scavenger Hunt Fire Safety Letter Matching Game Fire Safety Small Group Activities The Fire Drill Song and Printable Fire Safety Math and Literacy Bundle Fire Safety Theme Process Art Fire Safety Sensory Bin for Preschool Firefighter Play Dough Activity for Preschool

LEAVES The leaves may begin to turn in October, a very visible sign that the seasons are changing. Even if your trees do not change to vibrant colors, you can talk about leaves and trees as a theme or emphasis. Help your preschoolers understand the world beyond their own experiences. Fall Leaf Sensory Bottle for Preschool Leaf Man Beginning Sounds Activity Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf Sorting Activity Fall Leaves Play Dough Invitation Fall Leaves Snack Activity Fall Leaves Art Activity Leaf Math Activities Leaf Music Activity Leaf Fine Motor Play Fall Tree Letter Matching Fall Activities Bundle Books About Trees

FALL The fall season is a natural theme for October. Weather may be cooler, fall produce appears in stores, and leaves may turn color. Even if changes are more subtle in your area, helping preschoolers recognize seasonal changes is important for their understanding of time and the physical world. Here are some ideas for fall beyond leaves. Books About Fall Fall Fine Motor Skills: Scissor Cutting Practice Acorn Science Experiment Busy Squirrel Class Book Fall Sensory Bin Fall Tinker Tray Fall Colors at the Light Table Feed the Squirrel Counting Game Colored Corn Mosaic Art Squirrel Fall Book and Literacy Activity Fall Activities

PUMPKINS In October, pumpkins are everywhere. Pumpkins are a natural connection or extension of fall themes. Whether or not your center celebrates Halloween, pumpkins are a great theme to explore, with lots of possible activities. Books About Pumpkins Learning Activities with Pumpkins and Gourds Pumpkin Soup Color Mixing Pumpkin Science Exploration Pumpkin Measurement ABC Pumpkin Patch Game Pumpkin Art Exploration Pumpkin Sensory Bag Five Little Pumpkins Snack Activity Pumpkin Patch Dramatic Play Pumpkin Patch Dramatic Play Kit Pumpkin Lesson Plan Bundle Planting Pumpkin Seeds in a Pumpkin Pumpkin Play Dough Easy Pumpkin Decorating Exploration

SPIDERS Spiders are fascinating for some preschoolers and very scary for others. Exploring a spider theme or spider activities can help preschoolers learn more about these arachnids and take some of the scariness away. These activities can supplement a Halloween theme or be used independently to support a study of these animals. Spider Ring Counting Game Spider Web Yarn Painting Spider Web Rubbing Spider Fine Motor Activity Spider Web Gross Motor Activity Spider Web Activity Tray Spider Play Dough Invitation Making Patterns with Spiders Spider Web Number Matching Frozen Fizzy Spider Experiment Itsy Bitsy Spider Literacy and Math Activities Miss Muffet Literacy and Math Activities

SCARECROWS Scarecrows can be a fun way to explore concepts in fall and in October. Supplement a harvest, pumpkin, or gardening theme by exploring these guardians of the crops. Here are a few ideas for this topic. Books About Scarecrows Scarecrow Counting Game Scarecrow Sensory Bin Fall Activities Bundle Fall Theme Activities

HALLOWEEN Some centers focus on Halloween as a theme or for activities and some do not. The activities below are more specific to Halloween theme. In addition, use pumpkins and spider activities as extensions or supplements to your Halloween theme.
