Do children enjoy performing poetry?

I think some children enjoy performing poetry and some don't. I think when it comes to performing poetry, you have to find ways that play to children's strengths. Sometimes, for example, they like saying things in chorus. Other children might quite like to mime to a poem, or make what I call snapshots, like a tableau that goes with the poem. Other children might like to make a little bit of music to go with the poem, percussion, maybe do a painting, hold up individual words or clap their hands. So I think you have to explore all the potential around a poem and not just simply think recite some poem and then give them bad mark if the do it badly.
