This Fall into Healthy Shapes lesson plan also includes:

Kindergartners identify geometric shapes by planting a fall garden. They start their seeds in containers that have different shapes, and keep track of their plants based on those shapes. This brilliantly designed and incredibly thorough lesson plan combines geometry and gardening. It has all of the worksheets and instructions you need to successfully implement the tasks with your youngsters. A rubric to judge student learning is also included at the end of the plan. Very good!
