Are you looking for a one-off activity for National Poetry Day? This KS2 Kennings Poems Activity could be just what you need!

Use this carefully staged presentation to introduce children to kennings poems. Explain their key characteristics then encourage them step by step to create one of their own. In no time at all, children will be writing poems about the things they love.

Use their finished poems to play guessing games - can they work out the subject of each other's poems from the clues they provide? Then, make an eye-catching display and see children's pride at seeing their work on the wall. What's not to like?
