Spring Acrostic Poetry – Vocabulary + Writing

Acrostic poems are a fun way to practice vocabulary, spelling, using adjectives, and creative writing! These types of poems encourage learners to be picky about the words they choose, and to pay attention to detail. My students greatly enjoyed illustrating the borders of their acrostic poems with their own drawings! These are great for spring bulletin board displays! These acrostic poems with a spring flower border, for example, look wonderful and festive for the spring season!

They are a fun way to practice writing, descriptive words (adjectives, nouns, verbs, etc.), and great for all grades and ages! You can make the acrostic poems as advanced or simple as you'd like, depending on the age of your learners and what skills they are learning. I have challenged more advanced learners to use five adjectives, five verbs, and five nouns in their poems, for example. Acrostic poetry is a fun way to teach learners how to choose their words wisely and carefully, as the goal of the poems is to paint a picture in the mind of the reader - without writing out paragraphs and lots of sentences. It is a way to teach the importance of not using too many 'filler' words, and being specific in their writing.

This product comes with forty five spring acrostic poetry templates. With each template comes an outline matching the word for learners to color and add their own details to. Learners can also decorate the borders of their poetry with their own illustrations - bringing their words, descriptions, and ideas to life!
