Description
Looking for a simple but powerful way to keep your students writing this season? These Fall Pumpkin Writing Prompts are the perfect way to add fun, purposeful, and standards-aligned literacy practice to your classroom.
Each card features a different writing genre, giving students authentic practice across narrative, descriptive, how-to, and opinion writing. This activity keeps lessons fresh, seasonal, and easy to prep — ideal for literacy centers, morning work, or independent writing time.
Example Prompts:
🎃 Narrative: “Tell about the spookiest thing that happened to you at a pumpkin patch.”
🎃 Descriptive: “Describe a fall day using your five senses.”
🎃 How-To: “How to carve a pumpkin.”

Print the cards and cut them out.
