About this word search
New Zealand jobs follow the land: shearers move from shed to shed, rangers look after the national parks for the Department of Conservation and surf lifeguards keep the beaches safe in summer. The barista and the beekeeper with hives in the mānuka are just as Kiwi.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen, with words across, down or diagonally, never backwards. Police officer is the longest with thirteen letters and runs together as one word. Firefighter and electrician have eleven. Vet has only three letters and chef four, so they are easy to skip past. The double E of beekeeper and the double F of police officer stand out.
Ask each child to pick a job from the list and interview someone who does it, at home or in the family.
