Okay, so it’s been a while {over a year…ahem} since I posted a free seasonal poetry pack and I’ve had several requests for more poems. So today, I’m sharing the newest pack, a Spring Poetry Pack!
You will find the link to the free printable pack towards the end of this post. Just click on the teal, oval button.

Spring Poetry Pack
Unlike all our other poetry packs, we have not even worked through this one, yet. So I’m posting it before my kids have used any of the activities!
In the pack you’ll find these activities:
1.One-Page Poem – Laminate or slip into a plastic sleeve protector to search for and highlight sight words, rhyming words, or other word features.
2.Poetry Notebook Copies- Copy this page and cut on the line. Students can use this smaller size poem to paste into a poetry notebook.
3.Pocket Chart Poetry Strips- Use these strips in a pocket chart to re-build the poem together or use as an independent activity once students know the poem well.
4.Read and Illustrate the poem (1-page)
5.Cut and Glue Poetry- Students cut apart the lines of the poetry, put them in the correct order then glue them down.
6.Rhyming Words- First, brainstorm a list of words that rhyme with each picture (some words are included as well as blank cards for a pocket chart). You may even work on spelling some of the rhyming words together. Ask the child to pick a few words that rhyme with each word from the poem. They can illustrate and write the rhyming words. It is fun to re-read the poem, inserting some of their rhyming words instead of the original words!
7.Poetry Activity Cards- These are activity ideas and ways kids can interact and learn with the poem. Pick and choose just a few with each poem. Once kids are familiar with how to do them, they can do it with independence. I’ve also included blank cards so you can create your own activities.
