Twelfth Night Activity Pack

The beauty of this resource is that the wealth of engaging activities, with at least two activities for every scene, allows the teacher to find stimulating work at any time!

Drawing on the comic nature of the play, there is at least one fun drama activity for every scene to ensure active learning and appreciation of Shakespeare’s craft as a playwright.

Perfect assessment preparation
The exam-related activity for each Act and written tasks throughout focus students on being able to answer extract-based questions and questions on 'the novel as a whole' — fulfilling essential requirements for exams and controlled assessment.

The different types of activities include:

  • Group/paired discussion
  • Directing a production of the play
  • Creating a film trailer
  • Writing diary/blog entries for a character
  • Role-playing and hot-seating
  • Quotation quests for themes/characters
  • Writing letters/emails/texts between characters
