Funny Poems to Make You Grin, Laugh and Smile
About This Product
I love funny poems because they create such a positive reading experience. When students read a poem that has rhyme and rhythm that makes them smile, they want to read more. This is a collection of 130 poems that students will enjoy reading.
The collection is divided into short poems, classic poems, long poems and limericks. You should find poems that you have enjoyed before, and meet new favorites. Poems are selected that have nice rhythm, good flow, with words that create fun visual images.
There are poems by well-known children’s authors such as Louisa May Alcott who wrote Little Women and Mary Mapes Dodge who wrote The Silver Skates. Other notable authors include:
Robert Louis Stevenson
Christina Rossetti
Benjamin Franklin
Emily Dickinson
Mary MacDonald
Lewis Carrol
Edward Lear
Peter Newel
Walter Crane
Elizabeth Coatsworth
Oliver Herford
Mary Howitt
Rachel Lyman Fields
and many others
These poems make great additions to poetry packets. They can be a fun addition to a reading center. Make copies of poems and send them home in backpacks as a homework assignment. Use them in a bulletin display for Poetry Month. Scan and email the poems to students on a classroom secure platform. Project the poems to a screen for a whole class reading experience.
Wishing you and your class a fun reading experience.
