About this word search
Autumn in New Zealand runs from March to May. The leaves turn gold, the mornings turn misty and feijoas drop from the trees faster than anyone can eat them, so bags of them turn up at work and by the letterbox. Gumboots and raincoats come back out, along with the first hot chocolate of the year.
Hot chocolate is the longest entry, with twelve letters. Mushrooms and Chestnuts have nine. Fog is the shortest, with three letters, and Rake has four. Words go across, down and diagonally in the fourteen by fourteen grid, never backwards. The J in Feijoas is the only one on the board, and the double O in Gumboots is easy to spot.
Go for an autumn walk with the sheet and collect real examples: a leaf, an acorn, a chestnut. Glue them next to the matching word for a picture of the season.
