About this word search

A Swanndri is a woollen bush shirt first made in New Zealand in 1913, and the black singlet is the classic uniform of shearers and farmers. The lavalava, a wrap-around cloth from Samoa, is worn by many families in Auckland, and merino from high country sheep has become an outdoor favourite.

This grid is eighteen by eighteen and words run in all eight directions, backwards included. School uniform is the longest at thirteen letters. Black singlet, dressing gown and puffer jacket have twelve each. Togs is just four. Jacket turns up in both rain jacket and puffer jacket, so check the start of the word. Lavalava repeats LAVA twice, which helps.

Try it with older kids before a tramp or a school camp: find each word and decide whether it goes in the pack or stays at home.
