Happy Fall!
What’s better than fun fall-themed resources? I’ll tell you! Fall-themed resources that are NO PREP.
In this post, I want to show you some engaging no prep Fall resources for First Grade.

1. Math Crafts
Math crafts are great because they allow students to be creative and feel like they are having an Art lesson when they’re actually learning a Math concept. However, lots of crafts out there are intricate and require lots of teacher prep or hundreds of bits of colored paper. That’s why no prep Math crafts are so amazing! You can just print and go and they are easy for students to complete. Then your Fall bulletin board is done!
These Math crafts are common core aligned and your students will enjoy adding and subtracting by ten, as well as understanding place value.
You can grab these crafts here.
2. Color by Codes
Color by codes are another engaging lesson idea. Students simply solve the sums and color the picture based on the key provided. It requires no prep for teachers and is enjoyable for students! Why use another boring addition/subtraction worksheet, when you can have students solving AND coloring instead?
These color by codes are for addition and subtraction. You can choose whether your students to add to 10 or 20. There are 8 different fall-themed pictures to choose from.
These are suitable for Kindergarten and Second Grade too. You can grab the addition worksheets here and the subtraction worksheets here.


3. Sentence Building
Sentence scrambles are an enjoyable and no prep activity for Literacy lessons. Students cut out the words and glue them in order, write the sentence, and color the picture. There are 10 different worksheets to choose from.
This means that you can teach sentence structure and have students practice writing sentences in a FUN and fall-themed way! You can grab this activity here.
If you’re looking for other seasons or holidays, these are available in bundles too!
4. Writing Craft
Who wants to write on a plain white piece of paper when you can complete writing and a craft at the same time?! These no prep writing crafts have lines for students to write, but they also have a picture topper to color in. These crafts would make a great bulletin board.
There are three prompts to choose from (‘Pumpkins’, ‘I Love Fall Because…’, ‘If I Had An Apple Tree…’). You can grab the crafts here.
5. Roll a Story
If you have reluctant writers, a roll a story activity is a great tool. You can simply print a piece of paper that is full of story ideas! Students roll a die 3 times and choose their story elements (characters, setting, and problem). Planning and writing pages are also included.
A ‘roll a story’ activity is ideal as a no prep Writing center. You can grab it here.
