7. Print out the leaf patterns and use them to cut leaf shapes from fall-colored paper. Have your children write their vocabulary words on the leaves.

Gathering Leaves - Place all the leaves face-up on a table in front of your child so that he can see the words. Tell your child that he can place all the leaves that he can read in the basket. If your child picks up a leaf that he cannot read, tell him what the word is and have him repeat the word. Place that leaf in a pile to be used after he has tried to read all the leaves on the table. When he has gone through all the leaves, place the ones he has missed on the table, and have him try to read the words again. Keep playing until all the words are in the basket.

Matching Game - To play this game make sets of matching words, and more paper baskets. Give each player a basket. Turn all the leaves over on a table so that the words aren't showing. Take turns turning over two leaves to see if the words match. The player that turns over the leaves should read the words on each leaf. If the words match, the player gets to keep the leaves and place them in his basket. The player with the most words in his basket wins.

Write Notes - Children can send notes written on the leaves to their friends.

Mystery Notes - They can write one word on each leaf and see if their friends can put the leaves in order to find figure out the message.

Vocabulary or Spelling Words Review - Have children write their vocabulary words or spelling words on the leaves and use them to review.

Thanksgiving Craft - Have your students write things they are thankfull for on the leaves and place them in their baskets to take home and share with their families on Thanksgiving Day.
