About this word search
Kiwis have their own words for how they feel. Stoked means really pleased, gutted means deeply disappointed, and hōhā, a te reo Māori word for fed up or annoyed, is used by many New Zealanders. Talking about feelings is part of health lessons in New Zealand schools, and the right words make it easier.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Surprised is the longest with nine letters, then Grateful and Confused with eight. Sad and Shy have only three letters and hide well. Hōhā loses its macrons in the grid and becomes HOHA. Look for the J in Jealous, the K in Stoked, the double P in Happy and the double T in Gutted.
Use it for a check-in: after the puzzle, every child circles the word that fits their day best and, if they want to, tells the group why.
