About this word search
The backyard shed is an Australian institution, often home to the Lawnmower, the Wheelbarrow and a tangle of hose. The Lizard on this list could well be a blue-tongue, a common visitor in suburban gardens that happily eats snails.
Every entry reads forwards here, along a row, down a column or across at an angle. Watering can and Wheelbarrow are the longest. Hoe has only three letters, so keep an eye out for it.
Afterwards, go outside and count how many things from the list are in your own yard or the school garden.
