Acrostic Poems for Easter

These Easter acrostic poem templates are simple to use and fun for all ages. The set includes 8 printable designs, including a black-and-white version (because printer ink is no joke!).

You can use the templates in a few ways:

Have kids write a traditional Easter-themed poem
Or let them choose their own topic, using the letters E-A-S-T-E-R to guide their lines

Letting kids take the lead with their ideas often leads to more creative and meaningful writing. Below are a few examples to help them get started:

Rhyming Easter Acrostic Poem:

Easter is a most joyous time for the family,

A great way to start off happily,

Sprinting around the garden trying to find the eggs,

Too worn out you could barely stand on both of your legs,

Everyone together for a great Easter feast,

Remember the party where you were stressed the least.

Easter is the best time of year,

All the girls and boys are excited,

Sunday is when the Easter bunny will arrive,

To deliver the Easter baskets,

Every Easter egg hunt is so much fun

Rabbits, chicks and kids will run.

Another Easter Poem Example:

You could also let older kids pick a different theme (like a favorite book or movie) and just stick to the E-A-S-T-E-R structure. This keeps the format consistent while allowing more personal expression. This is one my son wrote:

Each planet has a different name the Jedi didn’t know how that came,

A smuggler of the name Han Solo made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, just like Usain Bolt did but with running tracks,

Saved from the planet Mustafar Anakin Skywalker was, then turned into Darth Vader though sadly he was now legless, ,

Tomorrow is Life Day a Star Wars tradition, giving most people presents while the Jedi got a vision,

Everywhere you look someone evil you may see, but you wouldn’t know because hiding it they may be,

Remember there are always two Sith, no more no less feeding on death, if you see a red lightsaber you’re most likely taking your very last breath.
