Poetry Activities for Fifth Grade Writers

If you can make a list, you can write a poem! Get your child to practice their writing and expression with a list poem.

Let your aspiring poet use book titles to create a funky and visually-appealing masterpiece!

Your fifth grade aspiring poet will be delighted to learn how to write limericks, funny poems that correspond to a simple rhyming structure.

Write a poem with a twist! Your child can write a poem that also has a secret sentence hidden within the words of the poem.

Not every poem needs to be about leaves and love. If your fifth grader is more attached to his phone or computer, introduce him to the apostrophe poem.
