There are ‘quotes’ to explore cards for Macbeth and Lady Macbeth who are the lead characters of the play. The final card summarises how the other characters interact.

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are central. Act 1 introduces them both very forcefully, and then as the plot develops their characters evolve in opposite directions almost a reversal. The more the student gets to know the play the more obvious this characterisation movement becomes.
The quote is on the left hand side of each card.
Prompts for discussion are on the right hand side of each card.
The set also includes a breakdown of other characters in Macbeth.
Other sets available:

Simply print off the 30 different food cards (back to back) onto card or alternatively laminate them.
Shuffle them and place the pile somewhere everyone can see or have a glamourous assistant hold them for you. Ensure that the cards are displaying the front of the cards.
Split in to two teams. The dealer will draw the first card, each team needs to try and guess the calorie count in that food item. The dealer will reveal the answer and whichever team was the closest gets to start.
The dealer will then in turn flip each car revealing a new food item. Each team needs to guess whether the calorie count is higher or lower than the previous card. Every correct answer will earn that team a point. The team keep going until they get one wrong and it the switches to the other team.
The game finishes when all the cards have been revealed and the team with the most points win. Alternatively you could ask the learner to stand up for higher or sit down for lower!

This Flashcards Bundle evidences ways in which Shakespeare has highlighted Macbeth as a Tragic Hero (set 1), used the supernatural to develop characters (set 2) and intorduce the theme of guilt and anxiety in the play. (Set 3)
Set 1 - The quotes, one from each act evidence ways in which Shakespeare has used the supernatural to develop characters and also to move forward the plot. However, each quote also has relevance to other themes.
Set 2 - The quotes, one from each act, evidence ways in which Shakespeare has highlighted Macbeth as a tragic hero.
A tragedy play in Shakespeare’s time begins with qualities in a hero that are admired. The hero is loved and there is an element of celebrity and role model.
Then a weakness is highlighted and manipulated to bring down the hero with tragic consequences.
Set 3 - The quotes, one from each act, evidence ways in which Shakespeare has highlighted the theme of guilt and anxiety in the play.
It is interesting in Macbeth that Macbeth as a military general had no difficulty in applying violent acts to kill his enemy but could not handle emotionally or mentally the murder of King Duncan.
This brings into play questions of right and wrong and integrity and honour.
Other sets available:
Set 4 – Ambition
Set 5 – Characterisation
Set 6 – Plot Development/movement
