Write a poem to Santa

Creative writing activity to use poetry skills and complete the fun activity sheet.

The poem for primary school children focuses on Santa Claus and the magic of following your ambition to think about how you can use your skills and work in a job you love. When I am big, I want to be…

First, read the poem, then add your own final verse/s.

When you are completing the poems try and write in a similar style and use descriptive language.

All activity sheets and supporting resources are free to download, and all the documents are fully editable, so you can tailor them to your students’ and your schools’ needs.

The activity sheet includes teacher notes, guidance, useful web links, and links (where appropriate) to the national curriculum in each of the four devolved UK nations; England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Oh ho ho, and please do share your finished poems with us @IETeducation! #SantaLovesSTEM.

If you enjoy activities like this, why not try to write a poem about space or the ocean too.
