An Acrostic Recital An acrostic is a poem or recital in which the first letter of the lines, taken in sequence, spell out a name, word or message. These were very popular during the Victorian era and variations were used in Victorian Parlour Games. Sadly such games have long been replaced with crossword or other word puzzles.

An easy method of involving children in simple entertainments especially for the festive season when message of joy and goodwill can be portrayed in this fashion.
