In a six-week period, between 21 April and 9 June, Shakespeare’s Globe theatre in London is presenting all of Shakespeare’s 37 plays, each in a different language, by 37 international companies. Follow the link below to download a classroom activity in which students read about the festival, look at some of the productions, and practise booking tickets in English.

To get started, write the word ‘globe’ on the board. Can any of the students tell you what the word means? Answer: A round ball that has a map of the world on it, or a round object. Explain that ‘The Globe’ is the name of a place. What and where is it?
