Free poetry activities

Have you seen these anywhere online? They're poetry cubes. I just inherited some from a retiring teacher. I love 'em! They're super fun, just to roll around and read. Each cube is wrapped in themed paper that correlates with the poetry on it. So I've been thinking about how to use them, and I think I'm going to try using them as morning work, like once a week.

I put my kids' desks in groups, so each group will get a die. They'll decide who gets to roll it, and the poem on the top is the one they will use for that day. I made some free poetry activities to use with it. You can get those freebies here.

I didn't include the poetry used on the cubes. I tried to keep the activities basic enough that you could use them with any poetry. If you have any other ideas for the poetry cubes, I'd love to hear 'em! And they seem pretty simple to make. Just wrap a box, print some small poems and tape 'em on! Simple, just time consuming. But worth the effort. So get your freebie here!
