In this co-operative review activity, students who have studied A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM match the texts on the edges of sixteen triangles to reconstitute the following quotes: Sleep, that sometimes shuts up sorrow’s eye, seal me awhile from mine own company. Lord, what fools these mortals be! If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all is mended, that you have but slumbered here while these visions did appear. The course of true love never did run smooth. Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Never harm, nor spell nor charm, come our lovely lady nigh. The best in this kind are but shadows, and the worst are no worse, if imagination amend them. Thus have I, Wall, my part dischargèd so. And, being done, thus Wall away doth go. Come, blade, my breast imbrue. And, farewell, friends. Thus Thisbe ends. Adieu. Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! Vile thing, let loose. In the temple, by and by, with us, these couples shall eternally be knit. The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact. Never anything can be amiss when simpleness and duty tender it. We cannot fight for love, as men may do; we should be wooed and were not made to woo. When in that moment, so it came to pass, Titania waked and straightway loved an ass. Sleep, that sometimes shuts up sorrow’s eye, seal me awhile from mine own company. Am not I Hermia? Are not you Lysander? I am as fair now as I was erewhile.

In this co-operative review activity, students who have studied TWELFTH NIGHT match the texts on the edges of sixteen triangles to reconstitute the following quotes: Oh Time, thou must untangle this, not I. It is too hard a knot for me t'untie! She did commend my yellow stockings of late, she did praise my leg, being cross-gartered. O, had I but followed the arts! Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage. If music be the food of love, play on. Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale? Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ‘em. This fellow is wise enough to play the fool and to do that well craves a kind of wit. Love sought is good, but giv'n unsought is better. If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction. This youth that you see here I snatch'd one half out of the jaws of death. Or I am mad, or else this is a dream. I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you. Better a witty fool than a foolish wit. Foolery, sir, does walk about the orb like the sun, it shines everywhere. One face, one voice, one habit, and two persons, a natural perspective that is and is not!

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life… Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man. Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast. Your lady mother is coming to your chamber: the day is broke; be wary… O true apothecary, thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die. Tempt not a desperate man My only love sprung from my only hate! Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? O happy dagger, this is thy sheath. There rust and let me die. For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

This translation game combines both serious learning AND a lot of fun. But, if all goes well, it will be a bit raucous. You might want to stipulate that your runners “speed walk” rather than actually run. If you like this resource, please let me know and I will make more like it.
