Introducing Our Children to Shakespeare
from No Higher Calling Hosted by Brettnay Brazzell
In this episode, I share how we unexpectedly started studying Shakespeare with my elementary homeschool children — and why it’s become one of a highlight of our school days! Despite having little interest in Shakespeare myself, I was inspired by A Charlotte Mason Companion and several podcasts to give it a try. What began as skepticism turned into delight as we discovered the beauty of introducing Shakespeare early. Key Conversation Points: Surprising benefits of Shakespeare for young children How we structure our weekly “Shakespearean Tea Time” lessons Reading the play aloud with dramatic voices, memory work, discussion, and puppet coloring Our fun 6-week wrap-up: memory recitation and family puppet show Perfect for families wondering if Shakespeare is too advanced for little ones — it’s not! We’re already planning our next play later this school year!
