Take 5: Poetry Brain Breaks
Spark fun and creative thinking with short videos and activity bundles!
Poetry can bring comfort and joy, reduce stress, and increase language learning. And it’s fun!
Healthier Generation, Kohl’s Healthy at Home, and Pomelo Books are teaming up to bring students and families a special series of Poetry Brain Breaks. Every month, we’ll share a new poem with video read-alouds, resources, and activities for one-on-one or group sessions, in English or Spanish.
Special thanks to our friends at Pomelo Books, publishers of The Poetry Friday Anthology for Celebrations and more!
