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!

Here is a few more examples of “Acrostic Poems”

Activity: Draw a picture of yourself in the box labeled “May Me”
You have until the end of May to finish this activity!

Remember:

1. The picture should look like you when you are actually drawing the picture. What colour is your shirt? What does your hair look like? Etc.
2. Don’t forget all the parts of your face (eyes, eyebrows, nose, ears etc.)
3. Colour your picture (remember to try your best to colour your picture beautifully)
   Stay in the lines and use soft, light strokes (like Ms. S taught us)

THEN:

4. Around your picture, draw 2-3 small pictures
of things that happen/or you see in May.

Example: Flowers blooming, plants growing, mother’s day, or anything else that you can think of!
