In first grade we are learning about poetry by playing the paper bag game. I don't tell the students what we are going to be studying for the next few library lessons. Instead I introduce poetry with a game - The Bulldog Paperbag Game!
Tag, you're it! It's a game we all loved to play as kids. This book makes poetry fun and interesting by inviting poets to play a game of tag. It all starts off with Jack Prelutsky writing about the moon and what would happen if it was a balloon or cheese or a sun. And then Joyce Sidman's tagged!
Oodles of free printables

Early learning resources for preschool and beyond, kids parties and fun games for holidays ... it's about having creative fun times with kids and learning together!
WOW, terrific site with games, online books, appropriate tv shows- one on reference source use (Once upon a rat) and numerous other worth your time activities! From Flying Rhino/Ray Nelson. Even online classes you can join in on- writing, illustrating, etc.
