Age Groups: Big Kids, Little Kids
Skills: Expression, Feelings

Instructions

  • An acrostic poem is a poem in which the first letter of each line spells out a word. Let’s write an acrostic love poem for someone we love!
  • First, let’s write their name or title (like Mommy or Grandma) vertically along the left side of the page.
  • Now, let’s use each letter to start a line in the poem about why we love them. For example, M could stand for “modern” or “magical” or “most magnificent.”
  • For younger children, each line of the poem can be a single word — they can think of words for you to write. Older children can write on their own and be more poetic, maybe even including some rhyming words!
  • If it’s the right time of year, help your child turn their acrostic love poem into a Mother’s Day card for someone maternal in their life. Don’t forget to talk about how nice it feels to spread love on special days and every day!
