I love this poem, because it talks about something I love to do - HUG... But we can't do the so much these days, except in our own households. So I thought this would be a perfect poem to share today.
Hug O' War
By Shel Silverstein
I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
💙💚💛💜ACTIVITY:How is a Tug of War different from Silverstein's Hug o' War? Use watercolors, markers, colored pencils, or crayons to show what a Hug of War might look like with you and your friends, your family, or your schoolmates, or even your pets. Post your photos and tell us where you are from.💙💚💛💜
