About this word search
Easter falls in autumn in New Zealand, in March or April, when the leaves are starting to turn. Good Friday is one of the few days of the year when most shops stay closed, so families go camping, visit relatives or hold an egg hunt in the garden. Many schools hold an Easter hat parade, and hot cross buns are in the shops long before the long weekend.
Sunrise service is the longest entry, with fourteen letters, so it fills a whole row of the fourteen by fourteen grid. Hot cross buns and Easter Monday have twelve. Hymn is the shortest, at four letters, and Chick and Bunny have five. The K appears only in Chick, Basket and Long weekend, and the V only in Sunrise service. Words run across, down and diagonally but never backwards, and entries like Egg hunt and Hat parade run on without a space.
Use the sheet as part of the egg hunt: every word found earns one clue about where an egg is hidden. Keep the best egg for whoever finds Sunrise service.
