Who this list is for
This magnetic poetry tin craft is for 10-year-olds making a reusable word-and-prompt activity in a metal mint tin. It includes word tiles and poetry prompts, not a full language arts lesson.
How to use this list
Measure the metal mint tin with the ruler and pencil, then cut magnetic adhesive sheet and white cardstock to fit inside. Use the word list printout as a starting point for writing or copying words onto small cardstock tiles with the fine-tip black marker. Add color categories with colored markers if helpful. Cover finished tiles and the 10 poetry prompt cards with the clear self-adhesive laminating sheet, then cut them apart with child-safe scissors. Decorate the outside of the tin with decorative washi tape.
Common mistakes
Do not expect the magnetic adhesive to work on a nonmetal container; this project needs the metal mint tin. Cut tiles large enough to read and handle, rather than making tiny scraps. Do not laminate before checking spelling and spacing. Keep the word tiles together in the lidded tin.
What is on this list
Gather one metal mint tin, magnetic adhesive sheet, three white cardstock sheets, fine-tip black marker, colored markers, a word list printout, 10 poetry prompt cards, a clear laminating sheet, child-safe scissors, ruler, pencil, and decorative washi tape. Cross off supplies you already have.
When you are done
Place all finished word tiles and prompt cards in the tin and close the lid. Open it later to arrange words into short poems, then return every tile to the reusable container.
