About this word search
Hāngī stones have to be the right kind, usually volcanic rock that will not crack in the heat. Food goes into wire baskets and is covered with cloths, wet sacks and then earth, and the cooking takes hours. Before the kai is shared a karakia is often said, and the meal is a time for the whole whānau.
This grid is eighteen by eighteen and words run in all eight directions, backwards too. Steamed pudding has fourteen letters, volcanic rock twelve and wire baskets eleven. Pit and kai are just three letters long. Hāngī, kūmara, pūhā, rēwena and whānau lose their macrons in the grid. The W turns up in six words, from firewood to whānau, so it is a useful letter to scan for.
Hand out sheets to the kids and grown-ups while the hāngī is down. The first to finish gets first pick of the stuffing when the food comes up.
