Easy Mother's Day word search
Mum, Nana, Māmā and a big hug: ten short Mother's Day words in a ten by ten grid. Every word runs straight across or straight down, so little ones can finish it and colour it in for her.
- Cake
- Card
- Flower
- Hug
- Kiss
- Love
- Māmā
- Mum
- Nana
- Smile
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
On Mother's Day, the second Sunday in May, children in New Zealand make a card, give a hug and sometimes help bring Mum breakfast. Nana and Māmā get a hug too.
Flower is the longest word, with six letters. Mum and Hug are the shortest, with three. Nana and Māmā look a lot alike: in the ten by ten grid they become NANA and MAMA. All words run left to right or top to bottom.
Once the puzzle is finished, children can colour in the words they found and give the sheet to Mum as a card.
