This year, instead of using our own free printable theatre reviews to respond to the plays we saw at the Stratford Festival, we decided to ask the kids for shorter, impromptu responses. Inspired by their dad’s season-long toronto #bluejays haiku project, or his #jaysseasonhaiku, we asked the kids to write haiku responses to the plays they saw at Stratford this summer. We’re calling these #sfhaiku!
Of course, you can get your kids to do it, too! Simply have them write a 3-line response or review of the play they’ve seen, with lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables in length. That’s 3 lines of 5, 7, 5. Got it? Then, if you post them in the comments here or directly onto social media, be sure to tag them #sfhaiku
