4 and up
15 minutes

 use speaking skills and strategies appropriately to communicate with
different audiences for a variety of purposes
Open space, no furniture
 Tossing Lines cards from the play – one per student
 Balls or beanbags (up to 4)
Setting up the exercise:
 Tell students they are now going to speak a bit of Shakespeare, using lines from
the play they are going to see later.
 Have students stand in a circle.
The exercise:
 Hand out cards, one per student.
 Have students read their cards to themselves, over and over, for a minute. Help
students as necessary.
 Start the game yourself with one ball. Make eye contact with a student in the
circle, say your line and toss the ball to that student. The toss goes with the
impulse of the line.
 The student who caught the ball then makes eye contact with someone else and
delivers the line and the ball to them.
 If students are doing any of the following, stop, explain and ask them to try again:
o not connecting the ball toss with the line (i.e. throwing the ball before or
after they speak)
o not delivering the line to the person across the circle
o not paying attention when a line is being delivered to them
 When the game is going well with one ball, add a second ball, then a third, then a
fourth.
Reflection questions:
 What can we infer about the play, based on these lines?
o Is it a comedy or a tragedy?
o What are some of the characters like?
o What are some of the things that might happen in the play?
The course of true love never did run smooth.

Tigers, not daughters, what have you

King Lear
If you do chance to hear of that blind traitor,
Preferment falls on him that cuts him off.
I know your lady does not love her
husband.
King Lear
Away, and let me die.
King Lear
I fear I am not in my perfect mind.
King Lear
You do me wrong to take me out of the
grave.
King Lear
I think this lady to be my child Cordelia.

To beguile the time, look like the time.
Look like the innocent flower,
but be the serpent under it.
Macbeth
Macbeth
But screw your courage to the sticking-place
And we’ll not fail.
This castle hath a pleasant seat.
Macbeth
Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand?
Macbeth
But wherefore could I not pronounce “Amen”?
Macbeth
Macbeth
Methought I heard a voice cry, “Sleep no more,
Macbeth does murder sleep!”
A little water clears us of this deed.
Macbeth
Macbeth
Who’s there, in the name of Beelzebub?
We have scorched the snake, not killed it.
Macbeth
O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!
Macbeth
Macbeth
Never shake thy gory locks at me!
Macbeth
Blood will have blood.
You lack the season of all natures, sleep.
Macbeth
Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Macbeth
By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
Macbeth
How now, you secret, black and midnight hags?
Macbeth
None of woman born shall harm Macbeth.
Macbeth
What, all my pretty chickens and their dam
At one fell swoop?
Macbeth
Did heaven look on and

Macbeth
Macbeth
Yet who would have thought the old man
