Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunts
Students explore the pumpkin patch and search for familiar fall and pumpkin patch items while practicing careful observation.
Students may look for:
- pumpkins
- leaves
- sunflowers
- hay
- signs
- wagons
- scarecrows
- different types of pumpkins
- something that can fly
The full-page scavenger hunt works well on a clipboard, while the wearable necklace checklist gives teachers an even easier hands-free option for field trips. Students can wear the checklist around their neck and check or review items as they explore.
Pumpkin Patch Look & Find Camera Viewers
The Pumpkin Patch Look & Find viewer gives students a fun way to focus their attention on the environment around them.
Students can use the viewer to:
- look closely at pumpkins
- identify different colors and sizes
- find fall objects
- practice visual vocabulary
- observe details in the pumpkin patch
- focus on one area at a time
The kit also includes a wearable camera-style viewer that students can wear like a necklace for an extra hands-on field trip experience. The camera opening encourages students to frame what they see and look more carefully at their surroundings.
These wearable options are especially useful for younger students because they keep the activity accessible without requiring students to carry multiple materials.
Pumpkin Patch Math
Students choose a pumpkin to observe and connect their real-world experience to early math skills.
Students can:
- count pumpkin ribs
- compare big and small
- compare heavy and light
- compare tall and short
- identify pumpkin shape
- measure using nonstandard units
- use their hands to estimate and measure height and circumference
The activity turns a real pumpkin into a meaningful hands-on math investigation.
Five Senses at the Pumpkin Patch
Students use their senses to explore and record what they experience at the pumpkin patch.
Activities include opportunities to:
- see and draw something from the pumpkin patch
- hear sounds around them
- smell common pumpkin patch items
- feel and compare pumpkin textures
- taste or choose a favorite pumpkin treat, when appropriate
This activity supports science observation, sensory vocabulary, and discussion while helping students connect classroom learning to a real experience.
Draw + Describe + Write
Students choose a favorite pumpkin and record what they notice about it.
They may:
- draw the pumpkin they chose
- describe its size
- identify its shape
- describe its texture
- explain why they picked it
- draw themselves at the pumpkin patch
- write about their favorite part of the experience
The included Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch activity extends the field trip into drawing, descriptive writing, and reflection.

Originally reviewed on TPTA Well-Crafted Pumpkin Patch Resource
My students absolutely loved using their “cameras” to take pictures of what they saw at the pumpkin patch. They also enjoyed the scavenger hunt. It made the pumpkin patch even more fun.

Originally reviewed on TPTSuch a Fun Addition to Our Pumpkin Patch Field Trip! ?
I absolutely loved using this resource with my self-contained autism classroom! It was such a fun way to keep my students engaged during our pumpkin patch field trip while also encouraging them to explore their surroundings. I love finding activities that are hands-on, interactive, and easy to adapt to meet the different needs and abilities of my students. The scavenger hunt was a great way to incorporate learning into a fun experience outside the classroom. Definitely recommend for any teacher planning a fall field trip! ??
