About this resource
Word Search: Tragedy of Julius Caesar contains sixteen character entries to locate in a grid. After finding them, students read the unused letters in order to reveal a Shakespeare quotation from Hamlet.
The three-page PDF contains the puzzle, a blank middle page and a completed solution showing the quotation and its source. Use it for character-name review before discussing the play. It may support an informal assessment of name recognition, but it does not include explanations of uncommon answers.
