Seasonal Poetry: Pumpkins

Celebrate pumpkin season with this three-page second grade poetry worksheet! Students will read “Pumpkins,” a playful poem that describes pumpkins by their shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. Reading comprehension questions ask learners to identify details, recognize rhyming words, make an inference about the season, and understand the speaker’s task.

This fall poetry worksheet helps students strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, and poetry skills. On page 3, learners design jack-o’-lantern faces and complete a Halloween-themed poem using rhyming words, giving them opportunities to practice creative thinking and rhyme. These seasonal activities provide a festive way to build literary skills while exploring autumn and Halloween themes.
