Have your students write the words on the two-inch candy corn shapes (above). Challenge them to write a paragraph using as many of the words as they can to describe their favorite candy.

Glue the finished paragraph onto a piece of black construction paper to make a frame. To finish have your children glue their candy corn pieces with the words on them to the frame.

Sight Word Review Match Game - Have your children write their sight words on the candy corn shapes making a set of each of their sight words. They can store the

Place all the leaves face-up on a table in front of your child so that he can see the words. Tell your child that he can place all the leaves that he can read in the basket. If your child picks up a leaf that he cannot read, tell him what the word is and have him repeat the word. Place that leaf in a pile to be used after he has tried to read all the leaves on the table. When he has gone through all the leaves, place the ones he has missed on the table, and have him try to read the words again. Keep playing until all the words are in the basket.

Matching Game - To play this game make sets of matching words, and more paper baskets. Give each player a basket. Turn all the leaves over on a table so that the words aren't showing. Take turns turning over two leaves to see if the words match. The player that turns over the leaves should read the words on each leaf. If the words match, the player gets to keep the leaves and place them in his basket. The player with the most words in his basket wins.

This little book reviews numbers, colors, shapes, rhyming words, and glorifies God at the same time.

"One candy corn just for me.
Two candy corns make me smile with glee.
Three candy corns of yellow, orange, and white.
What a colorful sight.
Four candy corns I hold in my hand to share.
Five candy corns I place on my plate with care.
A star, a star of candy corns so sweet.
Thank you, God, for this special treat!"

Five Candy Corns - Written by Nancy Foss

Five candy corns sitting on a plate,
One disappeared and met its fate.
Four candy corns quiet as can be,
I closed my eyes and then there were three.
Three candy corns are in my sight,
I open my mouth and shut it tight.
Now there are two. What should I do?
One for you and one for me,
No candy corns for us to see.
