We encourage schools can get involved on Poetry Day Ireland in a variety of ways!

Poetry Day Ireland's Education Resource Pack is an online collection of inspiring ideas to celebrate poems for teachers to use in their classrooms and can be adapted by parents for use at home with youngsters. Packed with poems and fun activities this vibrant online resource encourages teachers, children and families nationwide to read, write, listen to, illustrate, perform, share – and above all enjoy poetry. 

The Poetry Day Ireland 2025 Education Resource Pack is here. This imaginative poetry package, created and compiled by poet and teacher Enda Wyley, can be used not just on Poetry Day, but everyday!
