We have a pretend mic and stand in dress up so the kiddos dress up and act out some of their favorite poems, fairy tales, etc...
We also have a "poetry apron". It's just a cute apron I found with pockets and I've typed out all our poems and songs throughout the year and they can pull them out and say or sing them. They are having lots of fun with that!
Friday was our Poetry Cafe. It was tons of fun! I'd found the idea on Dr. Jean's blog for April. We had each of the kiddos bring a mug for hot chocolate and we served cupcakes. We set up several tables, placed lamps around the room, and turned out the overhead lights. We gave the room a coffee house feel. The mic and stand were at the front and we even had a beret if they wanted to wear it. :) The kiddos were encouraged to either write an original poem, learn a new poem, or share a poem we already knew. Instead of clapping we snapped.

It was a fun morning, and the kids loved sharing!
