About this word search
For a hāngī, food is cooked under the ground on hot stones. Chicken, pork and kūmara go into baskets, everything is covered up, and the steam does the cooking.
The grid is ten by ten and words only go from left to right or from top to bottom. Chicken is the longest with seven letters. Pit and kai have just three. Hāngī is written HANGI in the grid, without the lines over the letters.
Ask your child to draw the hāngī pit with the stones at the bottom and the food on top, and to write three words from the sheet next to the drawing.
