Activities For Kids Poetry. Children like to hear and read poetry written especially for them. Writing their own poetry enriches this experience. And this experience is further enhanced when children record their personal work. Poetic expression can be expanded beyond words when combined with music and sounds.
Children seemingly like to play with words.
We often hear a child repeating a word over and over - manipulating it to become familiar with how it sounds and feels. Text sound builds upon the concept that words alone and in patterns can create interesting compositions. In fact, text sound often resembles music in that one is working with the sound of words, rhythm, and phrasing. Children can create interesting text sound compositions using a simple tape unit to record single or multiple voice presentations. An open reel stereo tape recorder provides additional opportunities.
