Use this poetry chatterbox to get children thinking about and discussing a poem they have recently heard. In pairs, they must fold up the chatterbox and take it in turns to spell a word, opening the chatterbox in different directions with each letter. When they have finished spelling their word, they must choose a symbol and answer the question underneath.
