When I was in college some guys from my dorm really celebrated the Ides of March, which is from the Shakespearean play Julius Caesar. Why not do this as a family. Dress up in togas, and have the different family members play different parts, acting out scenes, or even a scene, from this play on this date. You don't even have to do it exactly as the play does, but have fun with acting out Caesar's death on the Ides of March. My kids love to act out Star Wars with their light sabers, killing the droids, etc. Let the kids use their energy to learn about Shakespeare by acting it out. Some kids don't learn by being told things. Some kids only learn by doing things. Often, those kids change the world. So if your kid is not learning well in a model of sitting at a desk and taking tests, why not act out Julius Caesar this day of all days. Beware, the Ides of March!
