You can use this day to focus on writing nonsensical or silly poetry.
Materials:
- Paper
- Writing materials
Directions:
- For this activity, focus on rhyming poetry, but let kids know that poems do not always rhyme.
- Have kids write couplets (two lines) in which each line has the same number of syllables.
- Instruct kids to end each line with rhyming words.
- However, instead of trying to write lines which logically follow each other, encourage kids to write silly lines which may not have anything to do with each other.
- Children may even choose to make up words to rhyme together (such as in the style of Dr. Seuss).
