About this word search
Father's Day comes with the first Sunday of spring in New Zealand, so the barbecue sometimes comes out for the first time in months. For many dads the best present is an hour at the workbench, a coffee in peace, a round of golf or the rugby on in the afternoon. Koro, Pāpā and the grandfathers all get a mention.
Bacon and eggs is the longest, at twelve letters, and Fishing rod has ten. Dad and Ute are the shortest, with three letters each, so they are easy to miss. Workbench, Toolbox and Shed belong together, as do Barbecue and Sausages. The J in Jokes is the only one. Words run in all eight directions in the eighteen by eighteen grid, backwards too.
Hand Dad the sheet and a pen after lunch and time him. If he beats the kids' time, he gets to choose the afternoon's plan.
