As the site says, "Fairies, lost princesses and a magic island – Shakespeare’s wonderful stories seem made for children." I majored in English Lit, and admit to a fondness for Shakespeare. The Folger Shakespeare Library has a wonderful site to introduce children to the Bard. Included on the site are:
Shakespeare for Kids
• Words, Words, Words
• Fun Facts
• Meet a...
• Coloring & Puzzles
• Shakespeare Challenges
• Who Am I?
• Queen Elizabeth
• Folger Treasures
• Puck's Place
Children like the lyric nature of Shakespeare, and are curious and open to many new things. Why not Shakespeare? Peek into the site and think about how you might use it to introduce the little ones to wonderful words and images. Perhaps not McBeth...but certainly A Midsummer Night's Dream... And it may help the Shakespeare repressed adults as well.
