About this word search

A Power point is the Australian word for a wall socket, and the Linen cupboard is where the sheets and towels live. Gutters get cleared before bushfire season in many parts of the country, because dry leaves collected in them can catch embers.

Reversed and slanting lines are part of the deal on this sheet. Linen cupboard and Bedside table are the longest entries. Doormat and Doorbell share DOOR, and Wardrobe and Wallpaper both open with WA, so trace carefully.

Older students can design a floor plan and put every word in its proper spot, or write a real estate listing that uses ten of them.
