  • #169 - Unschoolers Learn Shakespeare WITHOUT Curriculum?
    Apr 21 2025

    Text Sue what you think!

    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!

Love these bite-sized snippets of wisdom!

We started homeschooling during the pandemic and HATED it… until we discovered unschooling! It changed my life (and that of my kids).

We previously thought we were doing everything we could by sending our kids to a private Waldorf school which we thought was “child-led”.

Unschooling opened our minds to how much deeper connection with our kids could be. And we’re not dogmatic about it - in fact we’re unschooling one of our kids and sending the other to school for a couple of years because she loves it.

What I needed to help me navigate this journey - especially with all the tech and demands for consoles and iPhones was some wisdom (especially bite-sized wisdom) that could give me a different perspective or richer questions to ponder.

I often listen while brushing my teeth at night and it’s the perfect bookend to my day. I can then fall asleep and ask my subconscious to help me see a better way or double down on something that’s working.

Thank you Sue Patterson for your generous gifts!
