w w w . o u p e . e s Lower-Primary Carnival Corner 1 Playing with carnival words Introduction As Carnival celebrations are approaching you may want to teach your students vocabulary related to this topic while teaching them how to make their own acrostic poems (to develop creative thinking), and to chant the poems (that is, read them with rhyme and rhythm). Even though acrostic poems use the letters in a topic word to begin each line of the poem, we are giving the children examples of acrostic poems that contain the letters of the topic word but do not necessarily begin with them. Before asking the children to make their own poems about Carnival, we want them to play a game and have a classroom contest to find out who are the quickest students and the ones who can remember more words/vocabulary in English. You will need: • one copy of Worksheet 1 for each pair of students • one copy of Worksheet 2 for each child • an enlarged coloured copy of Worksheet 3 (recipe) from Upper Less
