Engaging Fall Activities for Middle School

Fall activities for middle school
Fall Activities Found!
Middle school students still like those fun seasonal activities:-)

Many years ago (I have no idea how many) I used this pattern coloring activity with my middle-schoolers. I don't remember where the idea came from, and I had even forgotten that I ever used it! However, I was looking through an old "November" file to find some ideas for a fun activity for a sub day, and found the tracers and examples in my file.


When I found it, I DID remember that the kids really enjoy this activity. They had fun creating the patterns and deciding what colors to include. So, I gathered materials (graph paper, tracers, colored pencils, thin black markers, construction paper) and left them for the sub, with these directions:

pumpkin coloring activity
turkey coloring activity
Instructions:
1. Students take one piece of graph paper (I use the tiny squares, but younger students could use larger ones).

2. Place the tracer (tracers below) under the graph paper and trace the outline and details of the shape.
3. Color the squares with different shades, alternating light and dark (colored pencils work better than markers), or different colors.
4. When finished, outline in black, and go over detail lines in a darker color.
5. Cut out and glue onto construction paper.

This is a great way to create attractive pictures any time. I was just so excited to find it again that I thought I'd share:-) You can click on the pumpkin or turkey pictures below to download the tracers.

For more academic activities, I also included the cross number puzzle pictured here, as well as a Fall math color by number and Fall Footloose math game. The color by number and Footloose are both mixed practice and great to use for review any time.

I hope you find some of these activities useful!
