Alliteration is a fun and easy way to get kids into writing poetry. How many animals can you get your class of children to alliterate? Get them to imagine and list all the creatures they wouldn't want crawling around their clothes.
Can they add a twist at the end, where something that seems horrible turns into a positive ... an alliteration poem for kids, written by kids?
Sounds super!
Tarantulas In My Trunks
Tarantulas in my trunks
Swordfish in my socks
Scorpions in my slippers
Crocodiles in my Crocs
Mosquitoes in my mittens
Vipers in my vest
Roaches in my ribbons
Ducklings in my dress
Lobsters in my leggings
Hedgehogs in my hat
Beetles in my beret
Cuckoos in my cap
Natterjacks in my knickers
Woodlice in my weaves
Hornets in my hoodies
Slow slugs in my sleeves
Bats in my bikinis
Snakeflies in my seams
Flatfish in my flip flops
Jellyfish in jeans
These creatures in my clothes
These Piranhas in my pants
are really rather marvellous
Good gosh, they make me dance!
