"How to Spice Up Your Language Lessons with Synonyms: A Poetic Inspiration for Teachers and Kids at The Giggle Cafe. Synonym : Laugh."

Updated: Nov 28

Just want the poem? Click here


As a teacher and poet, I wanted to write something to help children explore the power of synonyms in a fun and engaging way.


You could get your class of children to become chefs and write their own Giggle Cafe Menu. After that, the possibilities are endless...


  • The Anger Cafe Menu

  • The Happy Cafe Menu

  • The Sad Cafe Menu

  • The Smelly Cafe Menu

  • The Disgusting Cafe Menu

  • The Slimy Cafe Menu etc etc etc


Let me know in the comments box if your fun favourite is missing from the laugh synonym menu.
