Fall is in the air, which means it’s time to update our center activities to correspond with the new season! I love switching out our writing centers as the seasons change. It keeps writing fresh and exciting for the students, which keeps them engaged in their learning. These Fall Writing Activities for Pre-K & Kindergarten are perfect for early writers to practice labeling, building vocabulary, sentence writing, and more!

When introducing our writing center activities, I give instructions and we practice routines early in the year. Then as I change out themes later on, kids know what to do and can complete them independently!
For these fall writing centers, students will be introduced to the following vocabulary words: scarecrow, pumpkin, pumpkin pie, apple, squirrel, turkey, leaves, and apple pie.
The included vocabulary cards come 4 to a page (8 words total) and are a great size to accompany all the activities. Be sure to laminate them for durability and reuse before adding them to your writing centers!
Let’s check out some of the fun activities included!
A great way to introduce the vocabulary words in the beginning is to start with the mini “Write It!” book for fall.
Each page contains a picture that matches a labeling card and a space for the students to write the word. Then they can color the fun, seasonal pictures!
This is one of our favorite activities to use with the vocabulary cards! It is like a traditional “Write the Room” but you can choose how to use it with your students because it’s so versatile.
Set out the recording sheets at a table with the vocabulary cards in a pocket chart for the kids to see and simply record. Or, you can hide the cards in a sensory bin. Post the cards all around the room on the walls and kids can walk around with clipboards as they label the pictures.
However you decide to use this activity, it’s sure to be a hit!
Kids ALWAYS love dry erase markers (at least mine do!) so when I add these vocabulary strips to our writing centers, it’s an exciting day!
Just print the strips, laminate them, and then add them to your centers with the vocabulary cards.
Your students can write, erase, and write again for tons of fall-themed writing fun!
The fall story book is great for a continued project or themed journal. You could even send it home for kids to work on writing with their families!
You can print the pages double-sided and use the cover page to create a journal, or just use single pages as writing prompts in your writing centers if you prefer.
The goal is for kids to write a few sentences or a short story about the fall-themed picture.
There are even more engaging writing activities in this pack including a Trace, Cut, and Paste activity!
Plus, at the end of the file, all of the color items also come in black and white for an ink-saving option!
