Twenty-six words for the season and for bringing a crop in: reaping, gleaning, ingathering, the equinox that opens it, and the things that come with it - acorns, apples, bonfires and leaves. Free to print as a PDF, or play it online.

Fall and autumn are the same season in the same language, and both words are on this list. "Fall of the leaf" was ordinary usage in England through the 1500s and 1600s, shortened in speech to fall, and it crossed the Atlantic with the colonists. Britain then drifted toward autumn, a French borrowing, and left fall behind; America kept both.

Three of the harvest words are worth knowing before you go looking for them. Gleaning is going back over a field for whatever the harvest missed, and it was a legal right for the poor across much of Europe for centuries. Garnering is gathering and storing, from the same root as granary. Ingathering is the whole operation, crop and livestock together, brought in before the cold.
