National Poem in Your Pocket Day
It's Poem in Your Pocket Day! What poem is in YOUR pocket today?
Full Caption: It's National Poem in Your Pocket Day!

The rules are simple: carry a poem with you all day. Share it with anyone who'll listen.

Here's a fun classroom version: every student picks a short poem, writes it on an index card, and carries it in their pocket. Throughout the day, when they bump into someone (hallway, lunch, recess), they share their poem.

By the end of the day, every student has heard a dozen different poems. Zero prep, maximum impact.

What poem would YOU carry in your pocket? Drop it in the comments!

Happy end of National Poetry Month from Teachertainment!
