While on summer vacation, we still like to do a few light activities here and there to keep things structured.  Recently, we discovered a new species of caterpillar in our back yard.  This caused quite a commotion and helped us pick our first summer theme, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  I created a few activities to share with you.

Create-a-Pattern

This is activity can be used for younger students by allowing them to cut and paste the colored dots to create their own pattern.  Older students can use the colored dots to create patterns with the pattern cards.  Click here to download!

Feed the Hungry Caterpillar – Even & Odd Sorting

Feed the Hungry Caterpillar is a simple 1-10 even and odd sorting worksheet for students.  You can walk younger students through this activity, while older students brush up on previously learned math skills.  Click here to download!

Shadow Match Games

This is another fun shadow match worksheet.  Match the leaf and fruit shapes to their silhouettes.  Click here to download version 1 and click here to download version 2!

BINGO Game

I created The Very Hungry Caterpillar inspired Bingo game for 6 players!  It’s available in a large player card (prints one card per page) or regular player card (prints two cards per page) version.  Click here to download the large cards or here for the regular cards!
