What a fun day to carve a pumpkin with children! You can watch this video if you would like to get some ideas on how to go about carving a pumpkin with children, what to talk about and what they can do to help out. I also have a pumpkin carving chart you can use for children to vote on what shape of eyes, nose and a mouth they would like to see on the pumpkin. Here is the link to the chart.

After you and the children have carved the pumpkin you will have a lot of seeds to do a fun activity with. We are going to take the pumpkin seeds from the Jack-O-Lantern we just carved and reinforce counting through this Pumpkin Seed Counting activity. Here is the video so that you can learn how to do the activity and what you will need to do this activity with children. Here is the link to some paper pumpkin seeds if you don't want or are unable to use real seeds.

Memory Verse Coloring Sheet
Isaac & The Sacrifice
Print out the Bible memory verse coloring sheet and have your children color the picture. Sit with your children while they are coloring and talk about what they see in the picture (see questions below if you’d like some ideas). Your discussion will go with the story you have read.
- How many people are in this picture? (Two)
- Does it look like one is a boy? (Yes)
- Do you think the other person is his Dad? (Yes)
- What is the boy holding? (Sticks)
- What do you think they are going to do with the sticks? (Accept all answers. They are going to lay them on the altar.)
- How does it look like they are feeling in this picture? (A little unsure, like the boy doesn’t know what is happening)
This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say:
“The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of Genesis. When you find Genesis in the new testament look for the number 22 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see Genesis 22. We are looking for verse 18, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 22.”
After they are done coloring they can hang their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet up in a special place. Then when your child walks by the sheet they can work on memorizing the Bible verse.
