About this word search
For many Kiwi families the summer holidays include a crossing of Cook Strait on the Interislander between Wellington and Picton, a jet boat ride on a river or a few days at the bach. The holiday park is a tradition of its own, with a shared kitchen and a playground full of children who were strangers the day before.
Interislander is the longest, with thirteen letters. Fish and chips and Swimming hole have twelve. Map is the shortest, with three letters, and Tent, Lake and Bach have four. Road trip and Day trip end the same way, and Campground and Campervan start the same way, so read each word to the end. Kayak reads the same in both directions, handy in an eighteen by eighteen grid where words run in all eight directions, backwards too.
Print a pile before you leave and keep them in the glovebox. On a wet day at the campground, whoever finds the most words in fifteen minutes is excused from the dishes.
