Shakespeare Insult Kit In groups of 4-5, come up with insults by using a word from Column 1, another from Column 2, and a final one from Column 3. Together they will form an insult similar to the ones used in Shakespeare’s time. Write your insults on the index card provided. Be as creative and insulting as you can possibly be. Dish out your insults to individuals in your group. Don’t be shy about it; really let that person have it. Chances are that person will not even know what you’re saying (even though you will… maybe). Once you have exhausted yourself insulting others, take time with your group members to come up with 5 top insults. Choose a volunteer to share them with the rest of the class. Finally, you will find out exactly what your insults really mean. Who says Shakespeare isn’t fun?
