About this word search
Australia grows most of these fruits somewhere within its borders, from Mango and Banana in tropical Queensland to Cherry and Apricot in the cooler south. A good classroom question is which fruits on the list are in season right now, and which ones have to travel furthest to reach the shops.
In this fourteen by fourteen grid, entries can slope or run level or vertical, and each reads in the normal direction. Three of the twenty share the same five-letter tail, BERRY, so whenever that ending turns up, trace back to see whether it is the straw, rasp or blue kind. Fig, with three letters, is the shortest.
A fruit tasting afterwards, with a tick next to each word someone has tried, fits nicely into a Crunch and Sip break.
