About this word search
Ten colours, with three of them in te reo Māori. Many New Zealand children hear whero, kōwhai and pango at kindy long before they can read them.
The grid is ten by ten and the words run across or down only. Kōwhai, orange and purple are the longest at six letters. Red has just three. Kōwhai is written KOWHAI in the grid, without the macron.
Find something in the room for every colour, and say the te reo words for red, yellow and black together.
