About this word search
Teenagers often feel several things at once, excited and anxious before exams, relieved and disappointed when the results come in. Knowing the difference between frustrated and overwhelmed, or between nervous and anxious, helps when talking to friends, whānau or a school counsellor.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and words run in all eight directions, backwards included. Disappointed is the longest with twelve letters, followed by Embarrassed and Overwhelmed with eleven. Sad and Shy have three letters and are easy to miss, especially backwards. Hōhā goes in without macrons as HOHA. Look for the J in Jealous, the double R and double S in Embarrassed, and the double P in Disappointed and Happy.
Use it in a health lesson or a quiet moment at home: each person picks three words and describes a time they felt that way. Nobody has to share more than they want to.
