| Isn't It Poetic? a poetry bag |
This poetry bag is a fun introduction to poetry. One of my kids favorite poetry books is
Take Me Out of the Bathtub so I had to add an activity to go along with that title! Inside the
hand-painted bag you will find eleven activities that are printed on card stock, laminated,
cut out and ready to use!
1. COLOR POEMS: Read each color poem card and write the missing rhyming word on
the line.
2. SUPER SIMILES: A simile is a type of comparison using the words "like" or "as". An
example of a simile is as "quick as a bunny" since a bunny is an animal that is noted for
being fast. Finish each of the similes below. Before you write, think of animal that best fits
the description.
3. POEM SEQUENCING: Read the poem "The Little Bird" the put the sentence strips in
order to retell the poem.
4. AWESOME ACROSTICS: Read the steps for writing an acrostic poem and then read
the example. Try writing your own acrostic on whatever you topic you wish.
5. PARTS OF SPEECH POEM: This is a short poem where you use nouns, adjectives and
verbs for the first three lines in your poem. Read the example poem. Then put the words
in the box in the correct order as described in the directions.
6. THE PLAYGROUND--A CINQUAIN: A cinquain is a five line poem that follows a special
format. Follow the directions below to write your own cinquain describing your school
playground.
7. RHYME SCHEME: Find a poem that has rhyming words at the end of each line (or you
can use a nursery rhyme). Draw a different shape around each of the rhyming words in
the poem. (ie: draw a circle around bat and hat and a triangle around sly and fly ) Now,
write those shapes in order on the lines at the bottom of the page. Do you see a pattern?
8. POEMS & PICTURES: Find your favorite poem in Take Me Out of the Bathtub and
illustrate it.
9. YOU'RE A POET, DON'T YOU KNOW IT? Write a short poem about anything you like
to share with your class in the poetry journal.
10. MOTHER GOOSE: Nursery Rhymes are poems too. Enjoy reading the nursery rhyme
rebus poems. Find and circle the rhyming words or pictures in each poem.
11. TIED UP IN A TONGUE TWISTER: Tongue twisters are poems where the same
beginning consonant sound is repeated over and over. This is called alliteration. Practice
reading the tongue twisters. See how fast you can go. Count how many times the
featured beginning consonant sound is repeated in each of the tongue twisters on the
page.
12. ACTIVITY LETTER: Explains how to do each activity.
