Trick-or-treat bucket

This one can be found in my TPT store . Students follow the directions on each card to “fill the trick-or-treat bucket”. I love incorporating these cases into our task boxes and they really help keep things organized for our students. Another option is using ziploc bags the students can fill.

Fall vocabulary put-in task

This dinosaur is a favorite in our classroom. Credit to a fellow teacher friend, Danielle, for giving me the idea to add some fall vocabulary to the pegs as a fun expansion. This makes a great errorless task that my students can do independently, while still being exposed to intentional vocabulary.

You could also use the hedgehog if you’re looking for something more fall related.

pumpkin scooping fine-motor

Fine motor skills are perfect for working on during task boxes. If you’re students are working on scooping, using tongs, etc.-this is a great one! I grabbed this pumpkin tray from my local Michaels, then added some pumpkin candy corn and black beans for a fun fine-motor and sensory mix! Students scoop (or grab using tongs!) the pumpkins and put one into each section of the tray.

pumpkin number matching

Write numbers on clothespins or keep an eye out for these in your #targetdollarsection next year! I simply printed out pictures of pumpkins and wrote out the numbers. Student work on fine motor and math skills to match the clothespin numbers to each pumpkin.

apple shape matching

If I’m being completely honest, I love mixing self-made task boxes with items like this apple shape sorter. Since our task box area has around 16 task boxes on rotation each month, I’m all for making prep just a little easier with a few that I don’t have to make myself.

halloween party favor bags

If your students love a good seasonal celebration, party favor bags make for a fun task box. In preparation for our classroom Halloween celebration, we had students follow a visual to put together party favor bags. This is a great way to work on multi-step tasks, following a visual, matching, sorting, and opening/closing bags.

I grabbed all of these supplies from my local Walmart.

I hope these task boxes give you some ideas for your classroom! Check back next week for ideas to incorporate into your November task boxes.
