Fall Tree Craft Activity

I love this Fall Tree Craft activity because it’s great for the fall season as well as a poetry unit! Students will create their very own cut and paste tree craft and then choose from five different acrostic poems. It’s easy prep for teachers, has kid-friendly patterns, and makes a vibrant spring bulletin board!

What’s included in this pdf:

• A photograph of the craft activity
• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students. 
• Labeled templates that can be xeroxed onto cardstock, cut by the teacher, and then traced onto colored paper and cut by students. Labels will include the name of the pattern, the color to use, and how many of each pattern to cut (Ex: Body Cut 1 Red).

Writing prompts included:

• FALL Acrostic Poem (single lined)
• LEAF Acrostic Poem (single lined)
• RAKE Acrostic Poem (single lined)
• LEAVES Acrostic Poem (single lined)
• AUTUMN Acrostic Poem (single lined)

Here are some fun ways to use the craft:

• study on the letter f or t
• practicing fine motor skills
• bulletin boards
• door and hallway decorations
• small group station
• pair it with a worksheet, activity, or book
• reward or class party
