Tyger Tyger Magazine is a free online children’s poetry journal that was set up to showcase new poems by contemporary poets from around the world and support the teaching of poetry in schools.

There are two issues a year, each offering a curated selection of around 12 poems on a shared theme. Every featured poem is available as a free, printable poem-poster and there are also free teaching resources to accompany three of the poems in each issue.

The poems and teaching resources are aimed primarily at pupils in KS2 (ages 7-11) but many can also be used with pupils in KS1 (ages 5-7) or KS3 (ages 11-14).
