The Runaway Pumpkin Literacy and Activity Pack for Halloween Activities

The Runaway Pumpkin is one of my favorite Halloween books to read to the class. During Halloween week, I read a new Halloween themed book each day. For that week during centers, we do fun literacy activities related to each book. What a fun way to celebrate and learn about Halloween! The Runaway Pumpkin is a delightful book that describes the journey of a runaway giant pumpkin as it bumps and thumps its way through the Baxter farm, only to end up as a family feast that night.
