Say it in French, with magnets

Magnetic poetry is a fun little tool you can use to learn and practice French. 500 magnets with words and parts of words help you to express yourself in a unique and creative way.
Each magnet features a word or part of a word, meaning individual or groups of letters for agreement, plurals, and verb endings. For example, to write Ils chantent you need four magnets:
IL – S – CHANTE – NT
In addition to writing poetry, you can use the magnets to practice sentence formation, word order, verb conjugations, and more. The set includes a mini dictionary to help you understand any words you don’t know.
I like to display my poetic prowess on my side-by-side refrigerator. I have the individual magnets laid out more or less alphabetically on one door, making it easy to find the word I need and leaving the other door free for my poetic meanderings. You can also write poetry on any other metal surface, such as a desk, locker, or filing cabinet.
