During our study of Shakespeare, Christine found this document from the Folger Sharespeare Library. 

The Kids' Shakespearean Coompliments (...or) Insults

Of course, they've had quite a lot of fun creating these...mostly the insults!

***remember, you must say these with a sweet sugary voice.

Section A:  rare, sweet, fruitful, brave, sugared, flowering, precious, gallant, delicate, celestial.

Section B:  honey-tongued, well-wishing, fair-faced, best-tempered, tender-hearted, tiger-booted, smooth-faced, thunder darting, sweet-suggesting, young-eyed.
