#169 - Unschoolers Learn Shakespeare WITHOUT Curriculum?

You might not think so—especially if your own experience with Shakespeare involved interpreting metaphors, writing sonnets, or slogging through line-by-line analysis.

But unschoolers?
They get to explore Shakespeare in ways that feel natural, creative, and even fun.
Especially this week on Talk Like Shakespeare Day (April 23rd)

In this Unschooling Mom2Mom Podcast episode, I’ll share how families bring Shakespeare into their lives without schoolifying it. We’ll talk about:

• The real subjects kids are tapping into (language, history, psychology, and more)
• Where Shakespeare still shows up in our movies, memes, and everyday phrases
• How unschoolers connect with timeless characters and stories—without tests or textbooks

You’ll also hear about some of the more playful ways kids engage with Shakespeare: emoji matching games, Elizabethan Translator tools, and crafting insults that would make the Bard himself chuckle. I truly think Shakespeare would’ve loved this unschooling approach!
