Easy family word search
Mum, Dad, Nana and Koro, plus six more people from the family. Ten short words in a ten by ten grid, all running across or down, so young readers can find everyone on their own.
- Aunty
- Baby
- Brother
- Dad
- Koro
- Mum
- Nana
- Sister
- Twins
- Uncle
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
For many Kiwi kids, Nana and Koro are as much a part of daily life as Mum and Dad. Koro is a Māori word for grandfather, and lots of families use it.
The grid is ten by ten and words only go from left to right or from top to bottom. Brother is the longest with seven letters. Mum and dad have just three. The Y in baby and aunty and the W in twins help you find those words.
Ask your child to draw the people in your family next to the words, with names underneath.
