or two, play a game in which the objective is to “finish” all the poems by adding lines to the poem. there are two ways to add lines: either write down the next line correctly (as close to the original as possible) or creatively (something that matches the spirit of the poem but is funny or imaginative). each time you add a line to a poem, you get a point. the poem “ends” when it reaches seven lines.
to win the game, race to see how many poems each person can finish before the time’s up. read the poems and share which lines are favorites.
