Seriously Playing

​With W O R D S !

​Seriously Playing With Words helps teachers harness the playful power of poetry to build literacy in their classrooms.

Many people see poetry as merely a school subject. But since teaching is done with language, poetry can be used in every subject, even science and math.

From classroom management to building powerful vocabularies and helping students develop their unique voices, poetry has surprising power!  

      Poetic Teachers Play

Seriously Playing With Words shows teachers how to use drama and music to make language come alive in the classroom.  

Every teacher has the power to bring words to life, you don't have to be an actor or musician.  During the workshop teachers learn simple techniques for acting out and reciting words.  

​Today more than ever educators need time to loosen up and let loose with a little childlike play.   

Poetic Teachers Write

Seriously Playing With Words gives teachers a chance to write. 

Good teachers of writing are teachers that write.  Here's a nonthreatening and playful way to help educators experience the same struggles their students have when composing. 

​During the workshop teachers are given an opportunity to discover their own voices while creating rhythms, images, characters, and metaphors of their own.
