This Fall Word Wall post was originally published in September 2014. I’ve updated it in a major way! Here’s the original post:
I’ve always loved the idea of a word wall, but we just don’t have space for it in our small school room. Word Walls can increase vocabulary, be a fun way to reinforce spelling, and spark great writing activities.
Due to our lack of wall space, I had written off using word walls in our homeschool.
Last week, I created a Spelling Dictionary for my daughter using ordinary file folders. Then it dawned on me:
I can create a File Folder Word Wall.
Woo hoo! And our wall space problem is now solved!

Fall Word Wall Using File Folders
Instead of using a pocket chart, or placing words on a wall or bulletin board, I made my 2nd grader a word wall that is glued inside of a regular file folder.
This particular word wall focuses on vocabulary you would use during the fall season.
I love to increase my children’s vocabularies through reading good literature and using fun activities. This word wall is just the supplement to use with our fun Fall reading!
While I created this packet for my 2nd grader, you could easily use it in 1st-3rd grades, and even in 4th grade for kiddos that need extra supplementation.
What’s Included in the Fall Word Wall Packet?
In addition to a colorful list of fall vocabulary words, I added 12 printables that can easily be tucked into the file folder.
When it’s time to work on vocabulary or we just have a few extra minutes, my daughter can easily take out her Fall Folder.
She loves it!
In this Fall Word Wall packet, you’ll find:
► 2 colorful lists of Fall Words, which include a picture for each word; includes 32 words total
► Colorful cover page and black & white cover page option
► Fall File Folder Tab – glue on for easy recognition
► ABC Order – choose 6 words from the list and alphabetize
► Adjectives – choose adjectives to describe the words from the word wall
► Nouns – choose a word from the word wall to complete each phrase
► Writing Sentences – use the given fall word to write your own sentence; includes 2 pages
► Picture Matching – match each picture with the correct word from the list; includes 2 pages
► Syllables – use the word wall to write words with the same number of syllables
► Seek and Find! – use the words from the list to answer the questions
► Beginning Letters – write the words from the list that have the same beginning letters
Complete instructions for assembly are included in the download, as well as a few tips.
NEW for September 2020!
Some of you don’t have the lack of wall space that I do and would benefit from the actual wall cards.
Since this is such a frequent request, I am updating all of the Word Wall with File Folder Activities to include the actual large wall cards.
► 32 Fall Word Wall Cards – One set has a fun background, and the other set is more print-friendly. Choose what is best for your situation.
If you’re a homeschooler, the File Folder activities are a fun independent activity! Plus, all of the worksheets can be stored inside the file folder for easy clean up after the school day is finished!
If you’re a teacher, this file folder word wall would be a neat addition to your literacy center! You could also use for early finishers, for small group work, or you could even send them home as a fun change of pace for homework.
Please note that this packet is for personal use for one family only OR for classroom use with one teacher only.

The BIG List of Homeschool Wall Ideas
Love this! I would love to see more seasonal word walls! Thank you for the giveaway!
These printables look great! And fun for the fall season, with all the autumn colors.
I love these! We have a binder that has different holiday vocabulary words with the pictures that my girls use when they are writing stories and aren’t sure how to spell words (or even just as a creative spark by looking through). I love the idea of having one for the seasons as well. Plus the worksheets that go with the “word wall” are fantastic!
I can’t get enough of your fantastical ideas. All you printables are a.maz.ing!
Bible words
I would love to win one of these for personal use! 🙂 I love all of your worksheets!
Thank you for the give away! These would work well with our Calendar Binders.
I love all of your worksheets (I have quite a few). 🙂
I have been working on the United States with my 2nd grader and think a word wall of the state names would be good, especially the tricky ones!
We are studying Early Modern History so anything to do with colonial America and the founding fathers would be awesome!
Would love to have the fall packet. My daughter loves fall things.
Thank you@
Another word wall file folder could be about emotions. I think children need to understand how to recognize their own emotions and how to properly express themselves in a respectful way. Thank you for this useful idea with file folders.
I love this idea! Seasons are a great theme, as are holidays. Someone also mentioned Bible words — that’d be great, too. Farm words, geography words, words for different countries (e.g. nutcracker, castle, “football” (soccer), cuckoo clock, … for Germany), …
I just love all the pages you have! My 2 year old asks everyday to do “school”, so we do. I’m not really sure what another good theme would be, but I’m sure whatever comes down the pike will be great!
I love all the printables I have seen and printed it would be awesome if you did something about germs I plan on this coming week starting to teach my 3 year old about germs thanks for all the hard work you put into these
I love this idea! This would be great for each holiday, season, sports, and categories, such as birds, ocean animals, colonial American, famous Americans, dinosaurs, people in my community, etc.
Thanks so much!! I would love to see more seasonal word walls!! SUPER IDEA!!!
I would love to win this .
Thank you!
Would love to win this!
Would love more holiday themed word sheets!

Hi there! The link is updated now. I’m sorry about that! 🙂
Hi, I know this is an older post but I just came across it. I love this idea & am interested in purchasing it for personal use but the links no longer work. Is this still available?
Vicki, I am so sorry about that! I switched to a new online store several months ago and forgot to change this particular item.
Thanks for your patience! It’s updated now. 🙂
