Family Activities for National Poetry Month


April is National Poetry Month!

Try these fun activities for the whole family:

1. Write a food poem!
Poets love writing about food. Enjoy a meal together and write about what you notice and feel!

2. Visit an art museum!
Write with the eyes of a painter. Poems about art are called "ekphrastic".

3. Get a Parks Pass & touch some grass!
Write about what you see, smell, hear, and feel!

Ask a librarian how you can get a California State Parks Pass for free!
