What's a silent poem?

Tap into your kids’ creativity with a little bit of silence.

Give them a chance to sit in a quiet place, on their own outside for 5 minutes. Then ask them to notice sounds, sights, smells and sensations. Stimulate their senses by reading 2 or 3 poems.

Ask them to write a freefall poem for 5 minutes, with no talking or thinking… just let the pencil flow!
