About this word search
In summer and autumn the orchards of Hawke's Bay, the Bay of Plenty and Central Otago need fruit pickers, and in winter ski instructors head for the mountains. Arborists, midwives and paramedics complete this list of twenty-eight jobs from across the country.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words run in all eight directions. Police officer and ski instructor are the longest with thirteen letters each. Vet is only three letters and chef four. Orchardist and arborist both end in IST, like scientist, so do not mix them up. Midwife has the only W on the board. Look for the double E in beekeeper and engineer.
Split the class into groups and give each group seven words. Every group sorts its jobs by where people work: outside, inside a building or on the road.
