About this word search
New Zealand has volcanoes you can see from the city, and in Rotorua the ground steams, mud pools bubble and geysers shoot hot water high into the air. Children who visit often remember the smell first.
The grid is ten by ten and every word runs to the right or straight down. Volcano, Mud pool, Hot pool and Rotorua are the longest with seven letters. Ash has only three and Lava four. Mud pool and Hot pool both end in POOL with a double O, so look at the first letters.
After the puzzle, children can draw a volcano with lava, ash and steam, and a bubbling mud pool at its foot. Label each part with a word from the list.
