About this word search
In New Zealand traffic keeps to the left, school zones often have lower speed limits at the start and end of the school day, and in many towns children walk to school together in a walking school bus, a group led by parents along a set route. At a railway crossing you stop when the bells ring and the lights flash.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and words run in all eight directions, backwards included. Walking school bus is the longest with sixteen letters, then Railway crossing with fifteen. Kerb is the shortest at four letters. Crossing appears in Zebra crossing and Railway crossing, and Lights in Traffic lights and Hazard lights, so check the first part of the word. Look for the Z in Zebra crossing, Hazard lights and School zone. Two-word names run together without spaces.
Before a child starts biking to school alone, go through the list together and talk about where on your own route each word applies. The words they cannot explain are the ones to practise.
