Let’s solve this step by step.
This is a fun poem activity where you fill in the blanks to make it about YOU! The goal is to describe yourself using words from the Word Bank (or your own ideas).
Look at the first page — it has 4 parts:
1. “I am special, I have ______________ hair.”
→ Think: What kind of hair do you have? Curly? Straight? Long? Short? Black? Brown? Blonde? Red? Gray? You can pick one word or combine them like “curly brown” or “long black”.
2. “I am special, I have ______________ eyes.”
→ Think: What color are your eyes? Blue? Green? Brown? Hazel? Or maybe you want to say something else like “bright” or “sparkly”? But since there’s a Word Bank, let’s use those colors if they fit.
3. “I am special, I love my ______________”
→ This is open-ended! You can write anything you love about yourself — your smile, your laugh, your kindness, your brain, your hands, your heart… anything that makes you feel proud!
4. “I am special, I like ______________”
→ Again, this is up to you! Do you like drawing? Playing soccer? Reading books? Eating pizza? Dancing? Write what you enjoy doing.
Now look at the second page — it shows an example with some filled-in answers and a Word Bank at the bottom.
Word Bank includes:
- straight, wavy, curly, afro → for hair texture
- short, long, cropped, shaved → for hair length
- black, blonde, brown, red, gray → for hair/eye color
- blue, green → for eye color
So we can mix and match these words to complete the poem.
Let’s pick simple, common answers that many kids might choose — but remember, YOUR answer should be true for YOU!
Example completion:
“I am special,
I have
curly brown hair.”
“I am special,
I have
brown eyes.”
“I am special,
I love my
smile.”
“I am special,
I like
drawing pictures.”
You could also use only one word per blank if you prefer — like “long” for hair, or “blue” for eyes.
There’s no single right answer — because everyone is different! That’s why the poem says “I Am Special” — it’s all about celebrating what makes YOU unique.
Final Answer:
Here’s one possible way to fill in the poem:
I am special,
I have
curly brown hair.
I am special,
I have
brown eyes.
I am special,
I love my
kind heart.
I am special,
I like
playing outside.
*(Remember — your real answers should reflect who YOU are!)*
