WHAT YOU'LL GET:

A list of 50 Shakespearean insults to fuel the duels.

Game instructions for individual battles, team play, and improv scenarios (perfect for all group sizes!).

NO Prep- just print and play! Easy setup for classrooms, drama clubs, or homeschool groups.

HOW IT WORKS:

Pair Up or Team Up: Students get their insults ready.

The Duel Begins: With dramatic flair, they throw Shakespearean shade at their opponent.

Buy this if you’re a creative teacher looking to increase engagement in your classroom and want to get students excited about learning! This resource is perfect for you if you know you don’t have the time to format, design, link, and animate a game board, but you want to quickly create customizable review games that align with what you’re teaching.

*********************************************************

WHY BUY THIS?

Aren’t we all a little more engaged when material is presented to us in a fun way? Turning a simple worksheet or practice test into a review game captures students’ attention and increases their motivation to participate. If your classroom is anything like mine, you know that behavior problems are minimal when student engagement is high. 

With this customizable game board, you can turn any worksheet, practice test, or topic into an irresistible game that students are begging you to play.

I know it can be nearly impossible to find pre made review games that perfectly align with your curriculum.  

Let’s say you're a 4th-grade teacher using the Bridges math curriculum and want to review for the unit 3 math test at the end of the week. 

The odds of finding a review game for this specific test on TeachShare are pretty slim, so save the time spent searching for something and create a game yourself

This editable template allows you to create a jeopardy-style review game to match exactly what you want students to learn and practice. Just divide the material into the main categories and input the questions and answers into the game board. BOOM, it’s ready to play! 

I’ve even included a question planning template and step-by-step instructions to make the planning process even easier for you!

The options are endless. Create as many different games as you want and play them for years to come.

Think Before You Speak - An Interactive Activity

By Jeni Donath

This "Think Before You Speak" activity puts a focus on taking time to reflect and think before speaking to others. In this interactive activity, students are put into teams, where they are helping one another guess a specific word while also avoiding the guess of another word. Students must focus and carefully select the words in which they are using to be helpful - a social skill that we all utilize daily (even if we do not realize it!) This activity is a great resource to bring this skill to life and take time to reflect and connect - while having a little fun in doing so! Everything you need for this activity is included in the digital download, including reflection discussion questions, so once you purchase, you are ready for your next classroom lesson! *A note is included on materials that may be helpful for the activity, but are not necessary when fully utilizing the activity!*
