Once there were 5 orange pumpkins growing in a pumpkin patch.There was a GIANT pumpkin, a LARGE pumpkin, a MEDIUM pumpkin, a SMALL pumpkin and a TINY pumpkin. (Put them on the flannelboard one by one.)
A man came by and looked at the five pumpkins. He picked up the giant pumpkin. "This will be a fine pumpkin to put in my store window." he said. (Remove the GIANT pumpkin.)
Soon a woman came by and looked at the four pumpkins still growing in the pumpkin patch. She picked up the large pumpkin. "This will be a fine pumpkin to set on my doorstep" she said. (Remove large)
Next a teacher came by and looked at the three pumpkins still growing in the pumpkin patch. She chose the medium pumpkin. "This will be a fine pumpkin for my classroom!" she said. (Remove medium)
Then a baker came by and looked at the two pumpkins still growing in the pumpkin patch. He found the small pumpkin. "This will be just fine for a pumpkin pie!" he said. (Remove small).
Finally a little boy dressed in a ghost costume stopped by the pumpkin patch. He saw the tiny pumpkin that was left. "This is just right to take to my Halloween party!" he said. So he took the pumpkin, painted a face on it and said "This is my best Jack-o-lantern ever!"
