An “Acrostic Poem” is a poem where certain letters in each line spell out a word or phrase.

We are going to write an “Acrostic Poem” using our names! Each letter in our name will be used to describe something about us!

Example: Ms. Yaz

M:  Mindful

S:   Silly

Y:   Young 😉

A:   Awesome

Z:   Zappy

Activity:

  • Write an Acrostic Poem using your name.
  • Try your best to come up with one word for each of the letters of your name to describe something about you.
  • If you cannot find a word for all the letters of your name that is ok. Do your best! Try to fill in as many letters as you can!
