You can display the slide show on a large wall and students stand in front of the screen so that their shadow is put on to the screen. They then dodge, duck, and jump away from objects flying into the screen. My students have loved using this and always ask for a new one.

Hearing their voices in poems isn't frightening.
So read this book! It's really enlightening!
