Fun with Shakespeare - The Comedy of Errors Activity Pack

This pack contains everything you need to have Fun with Shakespeare, in particular with his play: The Comedy of Errors.

It's for you if:

• you hated Shakespeare at school
• you've tried doing Shakespeare with your children and it's been a disaster
• you don't know where to start

I've been exploring Shakespeare's plays with my children since they were 5 and 7 years old, and over the last five years, with a group of home educating families. We always book a performance and then explore the play over about six to eight sessions before we go to see it.

The sessions are light, fun but give the children a good feeling of the play, the characters, the themes and even some of the lines in the play.

In this 45 page pack, I have given you everything you need to get to know The Comedy or Errors, whether you have 15 minutes, 45 minutes or are looking to explore it for a few weeks.

Inside you will find:

• all your preparation done for you including links to help you book tickets, watch, read and listen to the summaries starting from a few minutes to the whole play
• four fun activities which you can use to explore the whole play including a game, a way of re-telling and getting into the play, a simple and super-fun effective way to learn a quote and a series of ways to play with the play
• top tips for seeing the performance
• four printables including: True or false Shakespeare quiz, a quote for your wall, a script for your re-telling, and Comedy bingo

It's everything you need to either dip into the play or deep dive. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

PS The extra file is a bonus for you - a shorter story script for you to use in your first time exploring the play together.
