So are we getting tired already of doing spelling every night with our kids? Change it up and go to this website and let them do a word search. Totally easy and very fun.

Fall Fun Games
Perfect for the room mother who has to plan some fun games for Halloween!
LEAF BLOW GAME
Have a leaf race! In this, the children blow a leaf across a table with a straw. The first one across is the winner...
HARVEST DASH (Outiside Game)
Set up a fall relay with the kids. Fill large containers with sunflower seed bird feed. Have smaller, clear containers at the opposite end.
Kids fill cup with seeds and race to dump it in the empty container.
They sprint back to the start and hand-off the cup to the teammates.
Goal of the race is to be the first team to fill up the small container with the seeds.
As an extra challenge, give the kids an over-sized soup ladle instead of a cup. Don't worry if the seeds spill; that's part of the fun! The birds will easily find them later.
GOURD ROLL Have each child take a turn rolling a small, round gourd. Try to find one with lots of bumps for extra craziness! The kid with the longest roll wins. Play on a sloped driveway or a small hill for extra fun.
GOURD BOWLING
Set up 'bowling' using empty two-liter soda bottles. If preferred, the bottles can be weighted with seeds or water. Use a round, bumpy gourd as the ball.

LDS General Conference 2011
So last year I found this online and I sent it to Costco and printed it.
Then during conference as the speakers spoke, we wrote with a sharpie what they talked about. 
Then I hung it on the inside of the back door and every time we went in and out of the door, we got a little reminder of what these great men wanted us to remember. Then today I looked and looked on the internet to find it so I could again get it printed and I couldn't find it. 
So I made my own and that way I can update it when it needs to be updated. If you want the JPEG email me crawleyandrea@yahoo.com and I will email it to you. Costco prints it 12x12 $2.99 and 8x8 $1.49. We have enjoyed our this year and I hope you do too.

NO COOK PUMPKIN PIE (Individual Servings)
Give each child a cup. Into their cup they get to put a big scoop of canned pumpkin, marshmallow creme, cool whip, and pumpkin pie spices. They mix and then spread on graham crackers and eat.
You also can make individual tart sized crusts, or buy the custard size ready to eat pie crusts.
