Ideas for celebrating National Poetry Month??

I like the idea of the poetry reading. Also think it'd be great to create a poetry book for the class, grade or school. I still have one we put together when I was in 6th grade!

Any local poets that might be able to do something with the kids? Or maybe you can get parents involved - the kids ask their parents what their favorites were. They bring them in and some of the parents will probably even read them.

Maybe, if you have a sponge activity, you give the kids the start of a poem everyday and they have to complete it.

Do you have a daily in-house TV? Announcements? You could do one there. Or give the kids a word and everyone writes a rhyming word on a piece of paper and puts it in a box at lunch time. Draw one out per day and share it, and give the kid something. You could end up writing a poem, doing a sentence per day.

Who is the poet that wrote so many mixed up poems, like runny babbit instead of bunny rabbit. I can not think of his name, but if you have someone that can read those, you may have kids and adults crying!

I also really like Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. It follows a boy through the process of creating a poem. It also introduces students to a lot of different types.

What about all the places you see poetry? Examples galore! Songs, jingles, greeting cards...see how widespread it is! Okay, I'm getting carried away now.

Have a poetry contest at school. Have people submit their original poems and have judges vote on them. Then give a gift card or something to the winner.

YOU

are a very special rose like no other rose

A ROSE

made from pure ice in a garden of flames

A FLAME

glowing with dark wishes through walls of dangerously happy thoughts

A THOUGHT

that with all my existence i want to carry u in my arms

MY ARMS

are hesitating with love and fear as YOU might melt in my hands

Holidays also on this date Monday, April 1, 2024...
