Instructions!

  1. Have the students pick 4 words randomly and write them onto a small paper(4 papers for each word, so they can decide the order)
  2. Place them all in a balloon- I recommend buying the balloon pump to avoid germies and spit :D
  3. Have the students place them in the middle of the room.
  4. Optional–but more fun– have them spin in place with a blindfold or simply shutting their eyes and have them search for a balloon
  5. Students will then select and pop a balloon and use the words to create a poem. They can repeat the word or change the order or have them all in a single line. The freedom or write is theirs.
  6. I encourage for a 12 line poem minimum that doesn't need to rhyme
