Decorate with a Haiku Theme: Use paper lanterns, origami cranes, and other Japanese-inspired decorations to give your gathering a festive and authentic atmosphere.

Serve Japanese-Inspired Food and Beverages: Think sushi rolls, green tea, and mochi for dessert. You can also make your own Japanese-style bento boxes filled with your child's favorite foods.
-
Haiku Poetry Reading: Have your child read some of their favorite haiku poems aloud. Encourage other guests to read their own haiku poems too.
Haiku Showcase
A haiku showcase is a great way to display your child's artwork and poetry in a gallery setting. Here are some things you can do to make it extra special:

Haiku Reading
A haiku reading is a fun and creative way to capture your child's poetry performance on camera. Here are some things you can do to make it extra special:
-
Choose a Scenic Location: Find a scenic location like a park, garden, or beach where your child can read their haiku poem aloud. Use your phone or camera to capture the performance.
-
Encourage Audience Participation: Have family members or friends read their own haiku poems before or after your child's performance. Encourage your child to provide feedback and encouragement.
-
Share on Social Media: Share the videos on social media to raise awareness of your child's accomplishments. Use hashtags like #haikuadventure and #haikupoetry to reach a wider audience.
Haiku Certificate
Finally, don't forget to award your child with a personalized certificate to recognize their completion of the Haiku Adventure Workbook. You can use the certificate provided in the book, or create your own using a certificate template. Include your child's name, a personalized message, and a haiku poem they wrote.
