Today have your little darlings write a poem about summer. They should make it fun, make it short, and make it rhyme!
Writing Topic
A summer poem
Writing Tools
For very young writers:
Provide a pencil and lined paper
For growing and older writers:
Provide a pen and wide- or college-ruled notebook or a laptop/PC
Writing instructions
Have your little (and big) darlings spend time thinking about summer. Instruct them to write down some words and phrases that relate to summer (hot, swim, mow the lawn, sun, etc.). Then, they can form it into a poem. One stanza (the paragraph of poetry) and four lines should suffice. If they want to write a longer poem, give them the freedom to do just that!
Example:
Summer is for having fun,
Lakes and hikes and heat.
Soaking up the summer sun
is really hard to beat!
Set your little darlings free and allow them to write from the heart!
