Romeo & Juliet Writing Games & Activities

These 15 fun writing games and activities will foster a creative approach to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and also keep your students happy and engaged during even dire emergencies, such as Friday afternoons.
The found poetry, one pager, and dice roll story will occupy a considerable portion of three classes, and a simple rubric is included should you wish to use these activities for marks. Most of the other activities in this package are more suited to a spare 10 minutes or so at the end of the class, or even as plenaries. A DOZEN of these fun smaller activities will keep them happily occupied! These dozen activities, like the one pager, can be used with ANY book. Only the found poetry, dice roll story and anagrams are particular to this play.
Most of these activities are no-prep- just project the activities onto your screen or write the instructions on the board and fun immediately awaits! You can even put them on a password protected homework site. The only activities that need to be photocopied are the found poetry activity (two sheets for each student) and the one pager. In the found poetry exercise, the students take the perspective of Romeo after killing Tybalt, and explore his limited options.
