Hello Jeanie,
Football is always popular and attached is a shape poem about football.
It was published in âWord Whirls and other shape poemsâ (collected by John Foster, OUP, 1998).
A good warm up with students is to ask them âWhoâs mad about football? â jot down why. There are usually lots of replies.
Then for variety âWhoâs not mad about football?â Again, this can elicit enthusiastic responses.
Kind regards,
Katherine
