Poem Race

Poem Race is an active, large group activity. Great for the kids to learn something AND get the wiggles out!

What You'll Need

 * Sticky notes
 * Famous poem (choose your favorite!)
 * Playground (recommended)

Directions
Hide sticky notes on playground or in classroom with one line from a famous poem on each. Have kids run to playground and instruct to grab two sticky notes per person (plan on meeting space once found). Once everybody has sticky notes, break off into groups and form new poem with the lines they found. Then come together as a class and put group poems together to form a big class poem. Students can add lines, words, or punctuation where they see fit. It turns out pretty funny!
