Hi Friend,

Some Brave Writer families have been enjoying Poetry Teatimes for years. Here are some fresh ideas to try.

Ideas for Teatime

Head to the local coffee house and let them make a special drink for you and hot chocolate for the kids.
Invite another family to your home and have teatime together. Pick a theme and divide up the goodies to share.
Buy a new poetry book and unveil it at your next teatime.
Buy new pens and pretty paper. Use them to copy poems.
Let the kids prepare the teatime without your help. They select drinks, foods, poems, and table decor while you take a shower or read a book.
Weather permitting, move teatime outdoors. Spread a blanket on the grass and sip lemonade. In colder temperatures, build a fire in the backyard, drink hot chocolate from a thermos, and toast marshmallows.
Have teatime at night or whenever the whole family is present. Make place cards. Dress up.

For additional ideas, you can visit our website: Poetry Teatime.

And be sure to follow along on our Instagram account where we feature your poetry teas!

Also: My book Raising Critical Thinkers comes out in paperback on August 1! Preorder now.

Warmly,
