No Pens Day is an exciting fundraiser taking place on Wednesday November 27th, 2024! It’s a chance for children to put their pens down, talk, listen, and take part in lots of pen-free activities, all whilst having fun raising valuable funds for Speech and Language UK.

I had previously written a poem called, 'A No Screen Day' and thought I would edit it to celebrate this year's wonderful No Pens Day initiative by Speech and Language UK. I hope you enjoy my reading of A No Pens Day Poem in the video below.
💡Why not get your class to recite and act out my A No Pens Day poem. No pens needed! 😁 You can find a copy of my A No Pens Day poem at the bottom of this post.
Don't forget to tag me @dreambeastpoems on social media if you use A No Pens Day poem.
Thank you!

A No Pens Day (A Villanelle Poem)
Put down your pens, today’s a no pen day
Let’s exercise our ears to listen well
Imagination needs no pens to play
Let’s summon all the words we want to say
Let’s sync our hands and tongues to show and tell
Put down you pens, today’s a no pen day
Let’s dress as knights, go forth and dragon-slay
Let’s laugh with friends and cast a magic spell
Imagination needs no pens to play
Let’s paint a picture, let’s get out the clay
Let’s sing and use our voices to excel
Put down you pens, today’s a no pen day
Let’s speak with love and language our own way
Let’s see ourselves beyond the way we spell
Imagination needs no pens to play
Let’s hang our hidden pride upon display
Let’s hear, let’s feel, let’s see, let’s taste, let’s smell
Put down you pens, today’s a no pen day
Imagination needs no pens to play
Mark Bird
