20 Task Cards, Each With A Different Autumn-Themed, Open-Ended Challenge
Variety of activities
Mostly writing based
Focused on creative and critical thinking
Here are 20 autumn-themed task cards that will work perfectly at a
center or for any student who finishes his or her work early. Each card
features a different fall-related, open-ended challenge; perfect for
working on those creative and critical thinking skills!
These cards will look best in color, but will also print out fine in
grayscale. Simply print and cut along the guidelines. Laminate and use
them again and again. Alternatively, you could print on cardstock. It
works well to keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a
corner of each card and put them all on a ring.
You can find many more task cards and higher level thinking activities at
my Teachers Pay Teachers Store, including many freebies like this one!
