Poetry Games
January 8, 2024
As we start 2024, consider bringing more poetry into your classroom. Poetrygames.org is a fantastic free resource that makes poetry accessible and fun for students.
Poetry Games from Creative Communication
At Poetry Games, students can explore many different poetic forms through interactive graphic organizers. Each form has an example poem that models the structure and techniques. Students can then type their own poems into the organizers to practice the forms hands-on. There are options for acrostics, haikus, diamante poems, rhyming couplets, and much more.
The site also connects to Creative Communication, where students can submit their work for possible publication in poetry contests and anthologies. This provides a real-world audience and incentive for budding poets.
Poetrygames.org is easy to use and suitable for elementary through high school. With bright graphics and step-by-step guidance, it engages students in poetry fundamentals. And the variety of forms lets students find poems that spark their creativity.
As we start a new year, check out this gem of a site to bring more poetry into your classroom! Short bursts of Poetry Games can engage students across the curriculum.
