Macbeth Top Trumps (Macbeth Block 8)

Published

by Susan

Using the worksheets in this Twinkl pack, we created our own set of top trump cards. We chose which characters we were going to do and what categories we’d rate them on. This activity created a lot of discussion and was an excellent way of recapping the story and characters.

Whilst I don’t agree with some of the scores, the girls provided good reasons as to how they’d arrived at the final figures that they had. They surprised/delighted me with their understanding and passion for the story.
