About this word search
A silent auction, a guess the weight competition and jars of homemade jams and pickles next to the cake stall are classic parts of a Kiwi gala. Some schools open the day with the kapa haka group, and on a hot afternoon the ice blocks are gone early.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words run in all eight directions, backwards too. Guess the weight and jams and pickles are the longest at fourteen letters. Hāngī is the shortest at five once its macrons drop, with raffle and prizes at six. Look for the J in jams and pickles, the double Z in sausage sizzle and the double letters in toffee apples, egg and spoon and candy floss.
Ask older kids to draw a map of the school field and place every stall from the list, with the dunk tank well away from the cake stall.
