Poems from a basket

Children draw short poems from a basket and illustrate them with movement.

Steps

1. We hide short poems by Brzechwa and Tuwim in a basket.
2. A child draws one, the teacher reads it.
3. The group shows the poem through movement and facial expressions.
4. At the end, children draw their favorite poem.

Tip: Choose poems with clear action, e.g. 'The Locomotive'.

Materials needed
