Friday Fun - Magnetic Fridge Poetry

By -

If you are looking for a fun way for your students to express their creative side, give this Magnetic Fridge Poetry activity a try. I created this using Google Drawings. Students can drag words from the side onto the fridge to create short expressions. 

Or better yet, give your students the opportunity to create their own Magnetic Fridge Poetry. Allow students to find a fridge picture, create words to put along the side that go with a topic of their choice and then share out their creations.  The students could use a much larger vocabulary than my example.

You could go completely crazy and even allow them to use something other than a refrigerator. Oh my, imagine the possibilities.  

The important thing is to give students a platform to express themselves, use meaningful vocabulary and at the same time they can individualize their Google Drawing.

If you decide to give Magnetic Fridge Poetry a try, let me know how it goes.

The words can be added inside of a shape.

There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click and drag f

Buncee is a Great Site I learned About This Past Summer If you are an educator I recommend going to edu.buncee.com  This is a free site that allows you to create a slideshow type presentation, but also can be used to blend learning for a lesson or even as a student portfolio or showcase. Your students will enjoy creating content with Buncee as well. When you first open a Buncee you are able to choose a background  from their gallery, from the web or upload an image of your own. Next you can choose from many different types of media to add objects to your page. Once your page is created you can add additional pages and view your Buncee in preview mode whenever you want. I love all of the options for adding media to your pages. The animations, drawings, videos, and stickers make your slides visually appealing. One of the richest types of media you can add is a 360 degree image from Buncee's gallery. These images allow the audience to click and scroll to view
