Poetic+Game


 * Poetry Game**
 * Have fun with poetry. Better yet, help others have fun with poetry by making up your own game.
 * You have two choices:** 1) Make up a game that will help others CREATE new poems. Shel Silverstein's "For Kids Only-- Games & Puzzles" portion of his website has great ideas. It's a flash file, so you'll have to click around a bunch to see it.

2) Help others learn poetry basics with a vocabulary game. Look at the basic poetry terms below. You'll have to research the definitions yourself. There is an example of a game after the terminology list.

Poetry Elements To make a game, you will need to know the names and definitions of the following elements. Your game will need to teach others the essential poetic terms.
