Pumpkins are a kind of squash that grow on long vines. A pumpkin starts as a seed, sprouts, grows a vine with big leaves and yellow flowers, and the flowers become small green pumpkins that ripen to orange by fall. Pumpkins are native to North America and have been grown for thousands of years.
This word search follows the pumpkin life cycle from SEED and SPROUT to VINE, BLOSSOM, and TENDRIL, and ends with fall favorites like the PATCH and the JACKOLANTERN.
Pair this word search with a pumpkin life cycle lesson. If you can, cut open a real pumpkin and have students find the stem, pulp, and seeds, then count the seeds together.
