About this word search
Several provinces have a Family Day holiday on a Monday in February, which turns a grey stretch of winter into a long weekend. This puzzle fits that day well, and it suits the card-making weeks around the May and June days that honour parents just as well.
Grandpa, Grandma and Grandchild all begin with GRAND, so when those five letters show up, follow them to the end before deciding which word you have. Neighbour is spelled the Canadian way, with a u. Diagonals are part of the search, reversed words are not.
To round things off, sketch your own family tree on a large sheet and write in every word from the list that matches a real person. The Neighbour and the Friend can go in a circle around the edge.
