About this word search
New Zealand's war history reaches well beyond Gallipoli. On 12 October 1917 at Passchendaele on the Western Front, more than 840 New Zealanders were killed in a few hours, and it is still remembered as the country's blackest day. In November 1918 the New Zealand Division liberated the walled French town of Le Quesnoy, climbing its ramparts by ladder, and the town still honours that link. At Pukeahu in Wellington, the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior holds a New Zealand soldier brought home from France in 2004.
Unknown Warrior is the longest, with fourteen letters, then Anzac biscuits and Passchendaele with thirteen. RSA is the shortest, at three letters, so search for it last. Anzac biscuits and Anzac Cove both start with ANZAC. Le Quesnoy holds the only Q. The grid is eighteen by eighteen and words run in all eight directions, backwards too.
Use the sheet in a history lesson: students find the words, then pick one place, such as Chunuk Bair, Passchendaele or Le Quesnoy, and find it on a map.
