The NaPo Prep Ice Cream Sundae Challenge



This year during the second-half of the month of March, we are encouraging you to get ready for National Poetry Writing Month by gathering together some sweet inspiration. There will be different challenges as we count out the final 15 days until NaPo begins - and a chance to earn a badge while you get ready for a month of poetry.

To build your Poetry Inspo Sundae, you'll need 3 Ice Cream Scoops (by completing 3 different ice cream challenges) and 2 Toppings (2 links showing you've participated in a "Poetry Jam" or as we're calling them this month, a Poetry Parlour Jam... get it? like Ice Cream Parlour!).

Collect your inspiration in a post below and start building that Ice Cream Sundae!

Extra Notes



Challenges can be completed any time between March 15 - March 31
Links showing Jam participation or Challenge completion must be posted by April 1.

You can complete more than just three challenges if you would like to, especially if you want to really stretch those poetry muscles before April! See how many you can complete!

Challenges will be posted here and on the people tab each day.

Who can host "Parlour/Poetry Jams"? Anyone! You can! It just needs to have the link posted in the Poetry Jam Club to officially count.
