Library Poem Hunt

Take the hunt to the school library or use it with poetry books in class. Partners can compare what they found and share one favorite title.

One page with 12 check boxes, each with a title line. Students look for a poem about an animal, a haiku, a poem with a simile, a funny poem, a poem that rhymes, one that does not rhyme, a weather poem, a poem with a repeating line, a poem of 4 lines or fewer, a poem by a kid, a poem about food and a poem you want to read again.

Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

27 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 47 Poetry Month resources in all, from Kindergarten to 5th Grade, gathered on our Poetry Month activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
