Abby the Librarian inspired me with her Poetry Egg Hunt. You can use individual words, lines, or whole poems. It can just be for fun or part of a larger poetry program. There's no right way to do a poetry egg hunt. Just have fun and engage with your chosen audience. You need plastic eggs and poems. That's all.
I've done this with homeschool groups and like Abby I hid the words to nursery rhymes. The kids had fun finding the eggs and deciphering the rhymes.
Poetry egg hunts are also recommended by Poetry Teatime!
