A Smile For Every Lesson Plan

Apple Day In First Grade

Check out these free activities for celebrating apple day!

Apple Day is such a fun, fall-festive activity that is always a hit in first grade. It’s so simple to integrate reading, writing, and science into the day. The kids have fun and are learning. Talk about a win-win!

This particular Apple Day was on a half day, so my school released students 3 hours early. We didn’t have too much time to get in all our activities, but I still wanted to share what we did! 

Johnny Appleseed YouTube Video

We watched a Johnny Appleseed video you can find here. They really liked it. It had a lot of really good information too. Plus, it was the perfect video to have going while I was prepping the apples.

Apple Taste Testing

You can’t have Apple Day without eating apples! This is the best part! I cut red, green, and yellow apples with my apple cutter. Each student got a piece of each color apple. Afterwards, we graphed our favorites. 

Homemade Applesauce

I guess you could call this “school-made” applesauce, rather than homemade applesauce 🙂 After tasting it, we graphed whether we liked it or not. We did this as a whole group on the board and then individually at their seats. Make sure you scroll to the bottom of this blog post to grab these free sheets and the applesauce recipe!

Apple Books

Of course, we added some books about apples into our learning as well! I think it’s important to have fiction and non-fiction books throughout the day so students can learn about apples and also be entertained through their reading!
