Get your students into the holiday spirit with this Christmas poem activity!
Using Clement Moore’s famous ” ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” poem, students fill in the ending blanks to each of the couplets with their own rhyming words.
This activity also comes with a list of 10 different ways you can do this activity to make it even more fun or challenging. You can even turn it into a game!
A copy of the original poem with all the words is also included.
Perfect activity to do before holiday break!
** Please note: This poem has been written exactly as it was originally. There are some “poetic liberties” that were taken with the grammar and punctuation which may need to be addressed to the students. These were not errors or typos on my part.
**************
This activity gives students experience with poetry, rhythm, and rhyming! These skills are important for students starting to analyze poetic works.
The activity is perfect to play around the holidays! You can introduce your students to the classic poem in a fun and educational way! Also, the activity gets students to express their creative side and create poetry!
