Poetry is an artful and creative way to communicate.

The words…

  • are carefully arranged

  • carry descriptions and emotions

  • can have rhyme and rhythm, or not

The voice of the poem often breaks the rules of grammar…

and who doesn’t like to break the rules once in a while? Let’s dive into some poetry fun!

Poetry Resources

  • Create shape poems. Use pictures or trace objects to contain your poem, or use the poem as the outline of the shape!

  • Keep a thesaurus handy! You may need the inspiration to find just the right word!

  • The Family Friend Poems site has tons of resources and poems for families. Here are references for Acrostic Poems and Haiku Poems.

  • Instant Poetry is a great fill in the blank kind of book to get people started with poetry. The book has a few adult-themed lines so proceed with caution, but share the appropriate ones with the family and create some fun, silly fill in the blank poems!

  • Parents and kids can take turns reciting poetry. Change the tone of your voice and add any needed gestures to convey the vibe of the poem!

  • There are endless ways to begin, so…

Enjoy creating some poetry!
