Fall is one of my favorite times of year for babysitting and creating fun traditions with the young ones in my family. The weather starts to cool down, everyone is reaching for their favorite sweaters, and suddenly it feels like the perfect time for baking, movie nights, games, and cozy afternoons at home. 🍂
Pin this for later!
I put together this free Fall Activity Pack for 3rd–5th grade (8-10 yr olds) with six printable games and activities that are fun, easy to use, and perfect for the fall season.
It’s great for parents, teachers, homeschoolers, and especially babysitters looking for easy fall activities to do with kids after school.
🍂 What’s Included in the Fall Activity Pack?
This free pack includes six printable fall activities for 3rd–5th graders.
🧥 Sweater Weather Word Search
This isn’t your typical fall word search!
The Sweater Weather Word Search includes a mix of classic fall words and some of the things that make fall feel extra cozy. Kids will search for words like shacket, pumpkin spice, Starbucks, sweater, boots, flannel, bonfire, and more.
It’s a fun activity to pull out after school, during a quiet afternoon, or whenever you need an easy screen-free activity.
🍁 Autumn Bucket List
What’s on your fall bucket list?
Kids can work their way through an Autumn Bucket List filled with fun things to do during the fall season. It includes cozy activities, outdoor adventures, fall treats, and classic autumn traditions.
It’s a fun way to encourage kids to get outside, try something new, and make some memories during the season.
🧩 Fall Crossword Puzzle
Put your fall vocabulary to the test with a Fall Crossword Puzzle.
Kids will solve clues related to autumn, fall traditions, and seasonal favorites. It’s a fun way to sneak in a little spelling and vocabulary practice without making it feel like another school assignment.
🧡 My Favorite Fall Things
This one is all about their favorites!
Kids can share their favorite fall foods, drinks, activities, movies, outfits, colors, traditions, and more.
It’s also a fun conversation starter if you’re doing these activities with a group of kids or during a babysitting day.
🎃 Cozy Fall Bingo
This might be one of my favorite activities in the pack because it’s a unique fall bingo game filled with cute, cozy, and fun things kids actually love!
There are 11 different bingo cards, so you can play with a group without everyone having the same board. 🍂
Instead of only traditional fall pictures, the bingo boards mix fall favorites with trendy and unexpected things like squishies, sneakers, Needohs, fall sweaters, cats, Starbucks fall drinks, and so much more! 🍁☕👟🐱
It’s a fun twist on traditional fall bingo and is perfect for 3rd–5th graders who will love spotting all the cute and relatable pictures on their boards.
🍁 How to Play
To get a BINGO, complete 5 squares in a row — across, down, or diagonally!
The first player to get five in a row calls out BINGO! 🎉
With 11 unique bingo cards and tons of cute, fall-inspired pictures, this unique fall bingo game is perfect for classrooms, fall parties, babysitting, indoor play, or a cozy afternoon activity.

🔤 Fall Word Scramble
Think you can unscramble all of the fall words?
This fall word scramble is a quick activity kids can do independently or with a friend. It’s also an easy one to keep on hand for those moments when you need something to fill a few extra minutes.
🍎 Fall Activities for Babysitters
If you’re a babysitter, you know that the after-school hours can be the perfect time for an activity—but coming up with something new every day can get exhausting.
This printable fall activity pack makes it easy.
Print the pages ahead of time and keep them with your babysitting supplies. After school pickup, you can choose an activity based on what the kids feel like doing that day.
Try the Sweater Weather Word Search with an after-school snack, work through the Autumn Bucket List, or end the afternoon with Cozy Fall Bingo.
And during the Halloween season, these activities are a great option for kids who want something festive without doing Halloween crafts or activities every single day.
🍂 Fall Activities for 3rd–5th Grade
I made these activities specifically with 3rd–5th graders in mind.
At this age, kids can be a little too old for some traditional elementary printables, but they’re still young enough to love a good word search, bingo game, crossword, or silly challenge.
That’s why I wanted this pack to feel more fun and age-appropriate instead of looking like a packet of worksheets.
🍁 More Ways to Use the Fall Activity Pack
You can use these fall printable activities for kids in so many different ways:
- After-school activities
- Babysitting activities
- Classroom activities
- Homeschool activities
- Fall break activities
- Rainy day activities
- Screen-free activities
- Family activities
- Halloween season activities
- Weekend activities
You can print the entire pack at once or just choose an activity whenever you need something fun to do.
🍂 Enjoy the Cozy Season!
Fall doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the best afternoons are the simple ones—baking something, watching a movie, playing a game, or spending time together.
I hope this free Fall Activity Pack for 3rd–5th grade gives you a few easy ideas to enjoy together this season!
