Build Words from JACK-O’-LANTERN

Students look at the large JACK-O’-LANTERN heading and find words they can make from its letters. They record their answers in three labeled columns: 3 Letters, 4 Letters, and 5+ Letters. Each column has 13 writing lines, giving students plenty of room to explore different word combinations.

This activity encourages students to recognize letter combinations, recall familiar words, and practice spelling. They also sort words by length and check which letters are available before writing each answer. The open-ended format allows students to work at different vocabulary levels.

Use the worksheet for an October literacy center, independent word work, or a Halloween classroom challenge. The colorful version features orange jack-o’-lantern illustrations and bright column headings. The black-and-white version offers the same word-building exercise with outlined artwork students can color after completing their words.
