Years 3-6

Subjects

Banish the Bard’s boring reputation and celebrate Shakespeare Week in March with this interactive KS2 William Shakespeare lesson plan.

I have been creating lesson plans around a new book called Shakespeare for Everyone (Magic Cat Publishing) which shows children just how accessible Shakespeare can be.

Written by Emma Roberts and illustrated by Sarah Tanat-Jones, the idea is that by going behind the scenes and learning more about the historical context, Shakespeare becomes far more approachable.

This project can be completely flexible to fit the needs of your pupils. You can use the book alongside this plan, or find Shakespeare resources online to support.
