It’s Shakespeare Week next week! Now is the perfect time to explore the BBC’s comprehensive collection of Shakespeare teaching resources, designed to support both primary and secondary classrooms.
To mark the 400th anniversary of the First Folio, BBC Teach has launched a wide range of engaging materials—including a new animated adaptation of Romeo and Juliet for upper primary and lower secondary pupils. You’ll also find video adaptations of Macbeth, The Tempest, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, along with teacher notes, activity packs, and music resources.
Secondary teachers can access the Shakespeare Unlocked series, which explores key scenes through Royal Shakespeare Company performances, helping students connect with language, themes, and character development.
This carefully curated resource collection is a valuable tool for bringing the Bard to life in the classroom, and can enrich your curriculum year-round. You can find full details here.
