Little Roots Poetry Play

Little Roots Poetry Play ✏️🌱

Discovering Rhythm, Rhyme & the Magic of Words

12-Page Language Arts Study | Ages 2–9 | $5

Poetry doesn't have to mean memorizing complicated rules—it can mean listening, moving, noticing, imagining, playing and creating!

Little Roots Poetry Play is a playful 12-page introduction to poetry designed to help young learners discover just how much fun words can be.

Children will explore the sounds and rhythms of language, experiment with rhyme, discover several different kinds of poems, observe nature for inspiration, create poetry of their own, and even bring a poem to life through movement and performance.

Inside you'll find:

🌱 A gentle introduction to what poetry is

👏 Syllable clapping and rhythm activities

🎵 Exploring beat, speed, volume and expression

🐸 Rhyming-word activities + a Silly Rhyme Challenge

📖 Four different poetry forms: rhyming, free verse, acrostic and shape poems

🌼 A Five Senses Nature Poem activity

🔤 Build-your-own acrostic poem

⭐ Create-your-own shape poem

✏️ Creative “Finish the Poem” writing prompts

💃 Poetry in Motion movement and performance activities

💭 Poetry planning and word-bank inspiration

📝 Space to write and illustrate an original poem

🎉 Poetry Celebration ideas

🏅 A printable Little Roots Poet certificate

And younger poets don't have to be independent writers! Children can draw, dictate their ideas to an adult, choose words, move, make sounds and participate at their own level.

There is no single “right” way to write a poem.

The goal is to notice, imagine, play with language and CREATE. 🌱
