About this word search
A&P shows, short for agricultural and pastoral, are held all over New Zealand, most of them between spring and autumn. Farmers bring their best cattle and sheep to be judged, children show their calf club calves and pet lambs, and there is woodchopping, showjumping and shearing in the rings. In Christchurch the Canterbury show even has its own public holiday, Show Day, in November.
Woodchopping is the longest entry, with twelve letters. Showjumping, Ferris wheel and Grand parade have eleven. Cattle, Baking, Judges, Hot dog and Fleece are the shortest, with six. Show day, Showjumping and Sideshows all contain SHOW, and Calf club and Pony club both end in CLUB. Words go across, down and diagonally in the fourteen by fourteen grid, never backwards.
Take the sheet along to the show and tick off each word when you see it for real. The judges and the candy floss are easy, the grand parade takes patience.
