Poem in Your Pocket

Did you ever hear of Poem in Your Pocket Day?

No, neither did I until researching summer poetry for the kids. The event is in April, so it doesn't help me for a summer activity. But, I think I can use the concept to help the kids memorize their summer poems.


I can print the poems they'll be memorizing small and encourage them to carry them around in their pocket for the week. I can also print the list of poems onto a pocket template like the logo here. As they learn a poem, they can cross it off.


Next April we'll have to remember Poem in Your Pocket Day!
