About this word search
The long summer break in Australia runs from just before Christmas to late January, so a summer puzzle often travels: in the car to the coast, to a campsite or to a relative's place for a week. Thongs and Esky are on this list for good reason, and Shade is a word most children hear daily, part of a sun-safety habit that goes back to the Slip, Slop, Slap campaign of the early 1980s.
In the fourteen by fourteen grid an entry can slope as well as lie flat or drop straight down, but it always reads forwards. Watermelon is the longest, with ten letters. Sun and Summer both open with SU, so check the third letter before you circle.
To finish, sort the twenty words into things you pack and things you find when you arrive.
