Creepy Carrots Retelling Activity

October 20, 2017

If you’re planning to read Creepy Carrots to your students this year, you’ll want to check out this activity for retelling the story!

If you're planning to read Creepy Carrots to your students this year, you'll want to check out this activity for retelling the story. Students will love the interactive feature of the carrots while practicing an important reading skill.
For this activity, you will need a copy of the book Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds. If you aren’t familiar with the story, here’s the scoop:
Jasper Rabbit loves carrots. And he can take the fattest, crispiest carrots from the Crackenhopper Field anytime he wants. That is, until they start following him home…

Creepy Carrots Craft

After printing out all of the templates on the suggested colors, have your students cut out the pieces they will need.
After reading Creepy Carrots, students can create these carrot crafts to help them summarize the story using Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then.
Glue the eyes above the mouth and the stem behind the top of the carrot. There are three options for the eyes to give the carrots different expressions. If your students want to add more details, they can cut out black rectangles for eyebrows and white squares for teeth.

Now it’s time to make a little garden pocket for your carrots. Take a piece of brown construction paper or cardstock and fold it in half hamburger style. Staple (or tape) the sides so the opening is at the top. Glue the Creepy Carrots title onto the front of the pocket. Insert the carrots into the pocket so the stems are sticking out the top.

After reading the story and practicing the retell orally several times, students are ready to put their retell in writing. As students pull out each carrot, they can write each part of the retell on the back of the carrot. Then students can partner up and practice retelling the story using their carrot craft!
