About this word search

The city of Saskatoon is named after the Saskatoon berry, a purple fruit that grows wild on the Prairies, and the name itself comes from Cree. The Haskap is a newer crop on Canadian farms, a long blue berry that tastes a bit like a mix of raspberry and blueberry. Rhubarb is the odd one out: botanists call it a vegetable, even though it ends up in pies.

Start with Quince and Kumquat, since Q is the rarest letter on the board. Then go for the long two-word entries, Passion fruit and Saskatoon berry. In this big puzzle a word can run in any of the eight directions, reversed ones included.

Older students can look up where each fruit grows and mark the places on a world map.
