Children get to write a secret answer in code in this poetry activity!
The PDF riddle poem guide sheet offers a fun and successfully tested format for class poetry-writing, using different aspects of language. Best for older children who can follow the simple guide and examples and think up their own ideas to fit their secretly chosen animal.
With examples from a poem in my book, Squeak! Squawk! Roar!, children are invited to describe their mystery animal in imagery-phrases like ‘I have the grace of an angel, the whiteness of snow’ (for a dove).
They must then find words for how their creature moves, and lastly, words to describe its environment.
The poem ends as it begins: ‘What am I?’ And now the coded answer can be added below (tiny, backwards, upside down?).
Children will love guessing each other’s poetic riddles!
