The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has launched a collection of free online resources and activities for young people to do at home during the latest lockdown. A suite of over 300 education resources and activities are now available on the Trust's website to support teachers and inspire home learners with Shakespeare's works.

Developed by the Trust's award-winning education team, the resources are in line with the national curriculum for Key Stage 1, 2 and 3, offering fun and imaginative ways for children age 4 – 14 to engage with Shakespeare – from building LEGO Shakespeare and drawing a comic strip inspired by The Tempest, to creating a gruesome recipe for a witches’ spell from Macbeth and describing a scene from Romeo & Juliet in Juliet's diary. There's also (crucial in the engaging of young people with the Bard) a Shakespeare-style insult generator to provide entertainment during playtime.
