I am a fan of micro:bits too, these look like great lessons, nicely packaged. CC BY-NC too.

Too Slow. New Year’s Day, I was driving home & stopped by the police. I was going too slow. Asked why, I say, I was listening to a poem on the radio. Failing and Flying by Jack Gilbert, it was worth slowing down for.

At the Aesthetics Meeting
We invented shape after shape,
color moving to and fro;
then outside where the plain world lives
it began to snow.William Stafford (1962)
Which took me via Wikipedia, to the dimly remembered Traveling through the Dark, some Tai Chi to land on Stone, paper, scissors.
All resonated for different reasons.
The Next War
