About this word search
Guy Fawkes on 5 November remembers the failed plot of 1605 to blow up the Parliament in London with barrels of gunpowder. In New Zealand it is a night of sparklers and fountains in the backyard and of public displays, and shops may only sell fireworks from 2 to 5 November. Keep a bucket of water close and the pets inside.
Catherine wheel is the longest entry, with fourteen letters, a whole row of the fourteen by fourteen grid. Roman candle has eleven. Bang and Fizz are the shortest, with four. The double Z in Fizz and Sizzle stands out, and the Y appears only in Guy Fawkes, Night sky and Display. Words go across, down and diagonally, never backwards.
Use the sheet while you wait for it to get dark. Afterwards, talk about fireworks safety: every word found earns one safety rule, starting with the bucket.
