Writing an acrostic poem about a RAT shouldn't be too difficult - although perhaps it is only one that you would think about writing at Chinese New Year, because the rat is rarely someone's favourite animal, and certainly not one to inspire poetry in the normal course of events! Here are four printables to choose from, to make the writing more fun.
This acrostic poem might be a good place to start with younger children, who won't be too taxed to come up with a three-line poem. Use the printable pages for writing (or drawing) frames too.
I don't really know how you can write an acrostic poem about an OX - but we've included it here as it makes up one of the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. The printables do make useful drawing or writing frames, too - perhaps a better use for this one!
Use this goat acrostic poem printable as part of a farm topic, or perhaps for Chinese New Year. A four letter acrostic shouldn't challenge the children too much, although goats aren't the easiest animal to write poetry about, perhaps!
