- Chooks

This is the same puzzle as on the printable sheet. Every word you find turns green and is crossed off the list.

About this word search
Many Kiwi backyards have a swing, a sandpit and a few chooks that lay eggs. Chook is the New Zealand word for a chicken.
The grid is ten by ten and words go only from left to right or from top to bottom. Sandpit is the longest at seven letters. Hose and shed have just four. The W of swing and worms and the K of chooks help you find them.
After the puzzle, head outside and look for worms under a pot or a stone. Your child can draw what they found next to the word.
