Shakespeare for Stuffies

-

I feel like I've done some moderately intensive Google searching and haven't found exactly what I wanted with some extensions of our Shakespeare studies so I went ahead and made up what I have envisioned!!!  Now, if you are a Charlotte Mason educator.... this DOES NOT replace the narration that should come first after reading a story from Shakespeare.  BUT - it can be something fun for you and your kids to do after the story is read and narrations are given!!!

I call it......

Shakespeare for Stuffies!

One of our favorite narration tools is using our stuffed animals to retell the story.  In this script I created the stuffed animals all have their own lines to say but they can easily be repeated after you (the narrator) read and perform it for them!  The goal is to have fun and maybe you can even set up a little puppet theater to retell this famous Shakespeare play!  My son had fun retelling it in our living room as I practiced the script with him!  I plan to make some up for each of the plays we learn.  I think this extra little activity is really fun and creates enjoyable memories!

Here it is!  Feel free to leave any feedback!  I'll definitely keep this script free and the rest of the plays I create will be up on Teachers Pay Teachers!  I'll update this blog post with the link whenever they are finished!

Enjoy!

Community dancing is such a wonderful activity for all ages!  I have seen the question pop up in many homeschool groups about suggestions for resources to teach folk dances so I want to share some of my favorites from teaching music and dance to elementary students in public school and our homeschool groups!  If you have the opportunity to find a group already in place to attend and learn dances and observe how they teach you will have a better understanding of how to approach this in a group setting!  You may feel like at the beginning like you are herding a bunch of cats but that's ok!!!  Practice and consistency will improve the process! Cited Material First, I want to just say how blessed I am that I have been fortunate to have training under the most talented folk dance and movement specialists.  I feel like my education and experience has been in the "golden" age through first hand workshops by the following professionals.   New ...

In my previous posts I've shared a lot of links about the music instruction of singing in Charlotte Mason schools.  You can read Part 1 here, Part 2 here , and today, I'll share a sample lesson of what a MODERN Tonic Sol-fa would look like!  We still use the same types of principles of breaking up a lesson in rhythm training, sight singing, vocal exercises, etc.  Those same principles can be applied using available resources!  And don't forget, the modulator, sight-singing, time, and ear-training concepts can all be covered with the units from Solfa Sofa!!!  Let the work I already did help you out in your lesson planning! Here's what the timetable has to say: Voice Training - 3 minutes This is training the voice with vocal exercises that increase the vocal range of students, develop good diction and vowel placement and singing timbre of the students! My favorite clinicians for children's choir exercises are Henry Leck and Jay Althouse This is al...
