I had a very successful National poetry month passive program that I wanted to share. I made crayons based on The Day the Crayons Quit with directions from the amazing Jbrary blog (found here: https://jbrary.com/the-day-the-crayons-quit-display.../) and had originally just planned it as a little kid scavenger hunt (we do a new one every month). After spending way too much time making my crayons I decided to put a spin on it so the big kids could participate as well. 12 crayons were hidden around our entire children's department. Big kids had to write down the word the crayon was holding and then write a poem (any format they choose) using one or all the words on a big die cut crayon. I am in disbelief about how excited the big kids were to do this and we ended the month with 98 poems (this is huge for a poetry anything!). The bulletin board filled up so we had them put them on the windows! Seriously so much fun!! --Kelly Colleen Keller, Programming Librarian Interest FB group, 5-3-2022
