Magnetic poetry is a fun little tool you can use to learn and practice French. 500 magnets with words and parts of words help you to express yourself in a unique and creative way.

French Magnetic Poetry

The magnetic poetry kit comes with more than 500 magnets, each with a word or part of a word. Parts of words include individual or groups of letters for agreement, plurals, and verb endings. For example, if you wanted to say Ils dansent, you would use four magnets: IL - S - DANSE - NT.

How to Use Magnetic Poetry

In addition to writing poetry, you can use the magnets to practice sentence formation, word order, verb conjugations, and more. The set includes a mini dictionary to help you understand any words you don't know.

Where to Use Magnetic Poetry

An obvious place to display your poetic prowess is on the refrigerator. On my side by side fridge, I have the individual magnets laid out more or less alphabetically on one door, making it easy to find the word I need and leaving the other door free for my poetic meanderings. Since they are magnets, you can also write poetry on any other metal surface, such as a desk, locker, or filing cabinet.
