This is a wonderful interactive poetry site with a range of activities and advice to would-be poets. It includes poems that ask for a rating and a section for teachers.
Students can see how fast they can recite the tongue twisters, fill in the blanks to complete poems, check out some riddles or gather some friends together to recite some poems that need a few characters. There is wide scope to have fun with language. Suitable for lower, middle and upper primary.

This particular activity involves reconstructing poetry in the form of ‘fridge magnets’. Young children would particularly enjoy dragging the words around the page to create a poem. The home page of this site provides an enormous range of interesting activities covering many learning areas. Suitable to lower primary.

Each link has specific activities usually to do with writing poetry and includes links to poets’ websites. Suitable for middle and upper primary.
