Rebekah and I planned a workshop for Shakespeare week.
Warm up:
- Zip Zap Bong (but Shakespeare version)
- Zip = Peevish Boy (from As you like it)
- Zap = Knock knock who's there? (from Macbeth)
- Bong = Bubble bubble toil and trouble (from Macbeth)
- Swap places = Romeo, Romeo, where far out thou Romeo? (Romeo and Juliet)
Our main workshop is based around Romeo and Juliet.
- Mini warm up:
- Finger fencing game.
- Get the children to fence with their fingers. they have to target the other persons hand.
- Main Workshop:
- Split the class into two groups (the Montagues and Capulates)
- They have to come up with a chant to help support their group.
- Then create a slow motion piece including 3 movements with different levels to show them battling with the opposite group.
- Get into pairs (one child from Montagues and one from Capulates) and get them to create a mini stage fight scene.
- (Like in out Hush children's theatre piece)
