Product description

From the author

This Hamlet Crossword Puzzle mixes references to the play with general vocabulary and knowledge clues.

Students use across and down clues and crossing letters to complete the grid. The three-page PDF includes the grid, clues and completed answer grid.

Use it individually or in pairs alongside a high-school study of Hamlet. It reviews selected references rather than providing a complete review of the play for essay writing.
