About this word search

Valentine's Day is on 14 February, in the middle of the New Zealand summer. For young children it is a day about love and friendship: a card for Mum, a hug for a friend or a drawing full of hearts. Aroha is the te reo Māori word for love.

Heart, Cupid and Aroha are the longest words, with five letters each. Hug and Red have only three. All ten words run left to right or top to bottom in the ten by ten grid, so children can follow each row with a finger.

After finding the words, children can make a card with a heart on the front, copy one word from the list inside and give it to someone they love.
