About this word search
Easter in New Zealand mixes church tradition with an autumn long weekend. Palm Sunday and Holy Week lead to Good Friday, and many churches hold a sunrise service on Easter Sunday. For other families it is a favourite weekend for one more camping trip before winter, with feijoas ripening in the garden and hot cross buns for breakfast.
Sunrise service is the longest, with fourteen letters. Hot cross buns, Easter Monday, Easter Sunday, Autumn leaves and Resurrection each have twelve. Three entries start with EASTER and two end in SUNDAY, so check the whole word before you mark it. Lent and Hymn are the shortest, at four letters. Words go in all eight directions in the eighteen by eighteen grid, backwards too, and the J in Feijoas is the only one on the board.
Make it a family challenge after Easter lunch: everyone gets a copy and a different coloured pen. Whoever finds Resurrection first chooses the next game or film of the long weekend.
