About this word search
In New Zealand the new year begins in summer, so many children are still awake at the beach or campground when the countdown starts. At midnight there are fireworks, and on the first of January the summer holidays are in full swing.
Fireworks and Countdown are the longest words, with nine letters each, and Midnight has eight. Wish is the shortest, with four letters. All words run left to right or top to bottom in the ten by ten grid.
Count down from ten together before your child starts, then see how many words they find before a timer runs out. Draw a firework next to each word found.
