A Cornucopia of Adjectives

Thanksgiving Bulletin Boards - Patterns

Directions

1. Use a light-colored plain background in pale yellow, orange, green, tan or white.

2. Trace our cornucopia pattern onto brown paper, resizing as necessary.

3. Ask students to cut out one of their favorite kinds of fall produce (or any fruit or vegetable) from construction paper.  They may use our patterns or make their own.

4. Instruct students to think of specific descriptive adjectives for their fruits and vegetables. (Examples: flavorful, succulent, juicy crunchy, versatile, etc.) They should write at least one of these adjectives on their shapes. They may also add stems, leaves, and other markings.

5. Students may add their shapes in and around the cornucopia, displaying a bounty of produce -- and adjectives!

6. Add a few colorful dried fall leaves around the edges for a border. Or ask students to cut leaves or other fall objects from construction paper. Use any complementary color for lettering, such as orange or brown.
