Poetry Contest
For Elementary Schools

Let students explore poem themes in a fun and exciting way before writing their own original poem. Our optional lesson plan gets students out of their seats and lets creativity soar!

The theme is open, so let students decide what they’d like to write about; tailor Poetry Wonderland to your latest topic, a book or choose from the suggestions we’ve provided in the students’ colorful worksheets.

In Poetry Wonderland, anything is possible. Where will your students’ imaginations take them...?
