About this word search
The Kiwi backyard is a place for growing and playing. A rotary clothesline, a trampoline and a veggie patch sit side by side, and there is often a lemon or feijoa tree heavy with fruit. In summer a slip and slide and a sprinkler keep everyone cool, and the barbecue comes out most weekends.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and the words go across, down or diagonally, never backwards. Paddling pool and slip and slide are the longest with twelve letters each. Hose and shed are only four letters and hide in the corners. Tree turns up in lemon tree and feijoa tree, so read the whole word. The J in feijoa tree is the only J on the board.
Take the sheet outside and do a backyard hunt. Every word you can find in your own yard gets a tick, and what is missing can go on a wish list.
