POETRY PEBBLES
Grade: 4-8
A super way to get the creative writing juices flowing.
What You Need:
- Small rocks or pebbles.
- Small paint bushes.
- Water and water containers.
- Magic markers.
- Paint (make tempera paint thicker by adding glue or flour).
- A covered work area.
- A shoebox, yogurt or empty "Jiffy Pop" popcorn container.
- Hairspray or a spray varnish.
What You Do:
- Make sure your pebbles are clean.
- Paint words onto your pebbles. You could also use markers instead of paint.
- Choose a number of words -- people, places, things, action words etc. Some good ones are:
- he
- she
- to
- love
- dog
- went
- walk
- you
- happy
- in
- to
- a
- my
- your
- orange
- red
- blue
- purple
- green
- swim
- bike
Use your imagination and make sure you draw some punctuation marks on some pebbles as well (comma, exclamation point, period, question mark etc.)
Once the pebbles are painted, let them dry and seal them with hairspray or spray varnish.
Put all the pebbles into a show box or Jiffy Pop container. You can decorate your container with paint or markers as well.
Play a game of poetry pebbles. Each player chooses a number of pebbles from the box and tries to come up with a poem or story.
Makes for a great way to begin a short story for those times when you have writers block!
