2. Halloween poems

3. Step one – Halloween words?
We need to think up of some words we associate with Halloween.
Think of monsters, objects, types of candy.

4. Halloween
night
treat
black cats,
witches,
brooms,
skeletons,
ghouls,
masks
ghosts,
moon,
candy,
orange pumpkins,
jack o lanterns,

5. Step two – Finding rhymes
We need to find words which rhyme with our Halloween words.
If they could be spooky, scary or associated with Halloween as well, all the better.

6. Halloween – seen, teen, mean, spleen, queen
Night – fright, , bright, blight, smite
Treat – street, meet, greet, feet
black cat – bat, rat, splat
Witches – itches, stitches
Broom – costume, room, doom, tomb
Skeleton – gelatine (jelly)
Ghoul – fool, drool, school, duel
Mask – task, flask, ask
Ghosts – most, posts (internet)
Moon – balloon, cartoon,
Candy – handy, dandy
Pumpkins- (very little rhymes with pumpkin bumpkin, frumkin, lumpkin)
jack o lantern – pattern, Saturn

7. Step three – creating a story
Look at the words at your disposal, the words that you have to play with. Imagine a story that might unfold from these words. What shall happen on Halloween night?
You must have a rhyming scheme but you may choose which one.
_____A _____A _____A
_____A _____B _____B
_____B _____A _____C
_____B _____B _____B
At least two stanzas, at most three stanzas.
