Beringia (1) - poem, worksheets and puzzle
Worksheets for a history lesson on Beringia and the migration to the Americas by the first humans. Includes a short piece of verse, a fact sheet, a 10 question worksheet, and a puzzle.
My worksheets can be used for homework assignments. I found them very effective at the beginning of class. Have students read the poem aloud -- they enjoy the rhyming and the digestible amount of reading. Plus, having the worksheets in their hands at the beginning of class captures their focus (sometimes).

Poetry Mix and Match
I created these cards as a matching activity to use with my 6-8th grade students as a review activity. I have used it with lower grades as an introduction to the different types of poetry. Pages 3 – 8 are the colorful cards. Pages 9 – 14 are the same cards but in a black and white version. (These could be printed on colorful cardstock or on white paper then mounted on construction paper for stability.)
Feel free to use these as a matching game or version of “go fish”.

Learn more about poetry resources
Poetry encourages students to engage with language, explore their thoughts and feelings, and connect with the broader human experience. If you’re a teacher or parent looking for printable and digital poetry resources, look no further. TPT has an extensive collection of resources, created by other teachers, that are designed to help with any need across grade levels.
If you want to make poets out of younger students in elementary grades, then acrostic poems or fill in the blank poems are the perfect place to start. (In fact, many poetry resources on TPT include templates so your students can easily get started producing their own poetry, whether it’s a haiku, or limerick.) For older students in middle and high school, you can find an array of resources to teach them about everything from iambic pentameter, figurative language, to famous poets from history. With plenty of TPT resources at your fingertips, you can sharpen your students’ poetry skills in no time.
Fun and engaging poetry activities to try
Teaching students about poetry can be an engaging and creative experience. Here are a few ideas for poetry activities that you can find on TPT to help you introduce and explore the world of poetry with your students:
Poetic Device Scavenger Hunt
Distribute some poems and have students identify and highlight poetic devices like similes, metaphors, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and imagery. Discuss what these are and the overall impact on the reader's experience.
Poetry Analysis Jigsaw
Divide students into small groups, assigning each group a different poem. Have each group analyze the assigned poem's themes, tone, and literary devices, and present their findings to the class.
Poetry Slam or Performance
Organize a poetry slam where students can perform poems they’ve written themselves or those written by famous poets. This will help build confidence and strengthen their public speaking skills.
Writing Poetry from Different Perspectives
Ask students to write a poem from the perspective of an inanimate object or an animal to foster empathy and encourage creative, out-of-the-box thinking.
Creating Found Poetry
Provide magazines, newspapers, or online articles. Have students cut out interesting words and phrases, and use them to create their own unique poems.
These (and other!) activities can help deepen your students’ appreciation for poetry and enhance their creative writing skills.
