How to Carve a Pumpkin Informative and Explanatory Paragraph Writing Activity

By: The Buffalo Barn

With this super fun writing activity, students will write an informative piece on how to carve a pumpkin! There are two differentiated versions: one for grades 1 & 2, and one for grades 3 & 4. This activity is especially engaging and memorable if you incorporate a visual demonstration for your students first, on how to carve a pumpkin. A real pumpkin carving demo isn’t required for this activity, but is an added bonus! Some students may have never carved a pumpkin before, so providing a demonstration for them to see, will give them background knowledge about the process, thus making it easier for them to write about!
