What Teachers Are Saying About The Shakespeare Birthday Party Bundle:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was the Shakespeare party bundle pack of my dreams! I had been planning on having a Shakespeare Birthday party all school year and floated so many ideas around in my head - this helped me streamline my thoughts and put on a great party for my students! They loved all of the activities (we did it as stations, as well as some additional activities I made on my own) and the color palette for the decorations helped tie everything together well. I will mostly certainly be using this year after year!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SO MUCH FUN! My students had a blast and didn't even realize they were learning. The resource is great quality and will hold up for years to come!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We all loved these activities. We celebrated the Bard with cake and games. This saved so much time and I can not wait until I get to use it with my next group of kids!
