About this word search
Spring is lambing season on New Zealand farms, and many rural schools hold a pet day where children show the lamb or calf they have raised. The spring equinox comes in late September, daylight saving starts on the last Sunday of that month, and the native clematis climbs through the bush with white flowers.
Daylight saving and Spring cleaning are the longest, with fourteen letters each. Hatchlings has ten. Tūī is the shortest, at three letters. Lambs and Lambing share their first four letters, and Bees and Buds are short enough to hide anywhere. The X in Equinox is the only one on the board. Words run in all eight directions in the eighteen by eighteen grid, backwards too.
Use the sheet as the start of a spring nature diary. Every time someone in the house spots one of the words for real, write the date next to it.
