About this word search
Anzac Day on 25 April marks the landing of Australian and New Zealand troops at Gallipoli in 1915. Across the country people gather before dawn at the cenotaph or war memorial for the dawn service, with the Last Post on the bugle, a silence and the words Lest we forget. Many wear a red poppy from the RSA, and Anzac biscuits are baked at home.
Anzac biscuits is the longest entry, with thirteen letters, and Lest we forget has twelve. Flag is the shortest, with four letters. Chunuk Bair, the hilltop New Zealand soldiers captured in August 1915, has ten letters without the space. The Z in Anzac biscuits is the only one on the board. Words go across, down and diagonally in the fourteen by fourteen grid, never backwards.
Before or after the puzzle, read the Ode of Remembrance together and talk about why the words Lest we forget are said. Students can choose one word from the list and write what it means to them.
