Halloween Poetry

Worksheet Description

This worksheet  invites students to delve into the creative realm of poetry with a Halloween twist. Specifically, students are tasked with composing an acrostic poem using the phrase “Trick or Treat.” For each letter in the phrase, they must pen words or phrases related to Halloween that commence with the given letter. Accompanying the directions is a vibrant illustration showcasing Halloween-themed characters, adding a touch of festive flair to the activity.

The primary objective of this worksheet is to introduce students to the concept and structure of acrostic poetry, a unique form where the first letter of each line spells out a word or message. Additionally, it encourages them to think critically about vocabulary associated with Halloween and challenges them to fit relevant words or phrases within the constraints of the acrostic format. Beyond poetic structure, this activity fosters creativity and enhances students’ thematic vocabulary. Through this engaging exercise, students also develop a deeper appreciation for the interplay between words and themes in poetic compositions.
