Rhymes to Keep Our Planet Tidy

This KS1 activity encourages children to write a closed-procedure rhyming poem with the theme of keeping our planet tidy. Pupils follow a simple structure to create their own rhyming lines, helping them focus on word choice, rhythm, and sequencing while reinforcing an important environmental message.

The activity can be linked to the book Michael Recycle, allowing pupils to draw inspiration from the story while practicing their creative writing and literacy skills. It’s ideal for developing confidence in poetry, rhyming, and expressing ideas about caring for the environment.
