What are some fun poetry activities for kids?

Here are a few fun poetry activities for kids: 1. Create a nature poem by describing things they see outside. 2. Write a silly acrostic poem using their name. 3. Have a rhyming word scavenger hunt.

Can you give me an example of a nature poem?

Sure! Here's a simple nature poem:

In the garden, flowers bloom, Bees are buzzing, there's no gloom. Leaves are dancing in the breeze, Nature's beauty puts me at ease.

What about acrostic poems? How do you make one?

To make an acrostic poem, choose a word and write it vertically. Then, for each letter, write a word or phrase that relates to the word. For example, for the word 'SUN': S - Shining bright, U - Under the sky, N - Never-ending light.

That sounds fun! Any other activities?

Absolutely! You can try a poetry jar where kids write lines on slips of paper and pull them out to create a poem together. Or, have them illustrate their poems to make a poetry book!
